[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We aren't talking about liquids, of course. But it makes absolutely zero sense to use volumes for measurements when cooking or baking. Tsp of salt? Cup of flour? Tsp of baking powder, etc? What in the bloody hell? I'll never understand why Americans love to cook ass backwards and don't use MASS while cooking or baking. It makes infinitely more sense to use GRAMS of flour, salt, etc. while baking/cooking like the rest of the world does. Why is it so ingrained to use asinine measurements in US kitchens? [/quote] IDK but I use a scale and usually have to look at the container to determine grams since many US recipes wont give grams. So 1/3 c on the nutrition label is 30g and I need 1 1/3 cups so 120g but I am the only person I know in the US who cooks/bakes this way. [/quote] We do! We still use measuring spoons for smaller amounts though, because it seems easier to measure out 1/4 tsp than 2g. [/quote]
