[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All recipe creators (including American ones) use weighed out ingredients when developing recipes bc it's so much more precise. For the US market they then convert back to volume based measurements.

Weighing and baking is a way better system and even Americans are speaking out in favor of it, eg. Alison Roman on one of her videos. [/quote]

But it doesn’t make sense to convert back to volumes.  Just leave it as mass. Yes, it is way more precise.  It makes zero sense to ever use volumes to measure out solids.  I worked as a chemist for years.[/quote]

A scale is 1 more thing to buy and you can still cook with volume. As much as bakers love to talk about how precise measurements need to be, they're full of it. Close enough works in 99% of cooking situation  [/quote]

Omg, owning a scale is a world ending endeavor. How will you ever live if you have to use a scale!!??  Lol, meanwhile, 4 billion other people on the planet use scales and make better food because their recipes are more precise. [/quote]

As you, Dear Troll, are concerned with precision with numbers, check your 4 billion people use scales number.[/quote]
