Used a couple of US recipes recently and most of the ingredients are in cups, or spoons, not by weight. This is a nightmare to convert. Do Americans not own scales or something? What’s the reason for measuring everything by volume?

    Cups are great, the real annoyances are pints, quarts and gallons. Really no reason to use any of those when you can just state it in cups. Then we threw in fluid ounces for that extra layer of confusion and conversion.

      Cups are great,

      Looking at the wide range of cups in my drawer, I’m not so sure, tbh.
