>Using volumetric measurements is less preciseHonestly, skill issue.I live in Northern Europe and in recipes volume is standard. It's not just the US.If you need a scale to cook, you are not a good cook.Stop being a scale-cuck.
>>21599800>using measurements at allngmi
>>21599800counterpoint, you are fat
>>21599800I think I'll do what I want, thank you
>>21599800im not fluffing my flour just to measure it.
>>21599800>I live in Northern Europe and in recipes volume is standardNo it isn't.The only volume measurements are teaspoons and tablespoons. Which is reasonable, nobody wants to measure out such small units anyway. using volumes is faster here.

You are not very smart.
>>21599875yea-huh
>>21599800it's used more in baking. yeah you can bake without it but things will be more consistent and easily adjusted with a scale.it's also just more convenient. with some things it's easier to just use a bowl on a scale and weigh out ingredients rather than measuring by volume.
Measuring by volume isn't any easier than measuring by weight. I can just put a bowl on a scale and add everything I need. Half the stuff I bake I just eyeball because the ingredient ratios aren't that sensitive. >>21599824In scandinavian recipes I see a lot of ingredients in dL
>>21599800metric is inaccurate as it's based on water which changes volumes due to elevation.imperial is correct because it's based on barley corns which haven't changed size in over 500,000 years.
>>21599804Bro I don't even use recipes
>>21600080>broNo, your mother uses recipes though and ruffles your broccoli hair after she's placed the meal in front of you
>>21599800Cups are poor man's scales.If they wanted to make it convenient (instead of precise) they would say how many spoons.
>>21599800>I live in Northern Europe
>>21600077Are you actually this retarded, or is this a joke? I can never tell when it comes to amerigoylems and their measurements.
>>216000115ml-100ml is often given in teaspoon or table spoon measurements. Flour or sugar is given in either grams or dl measurements. Grams is usually used when exact measurements are needed or if they exceed 1L. (1kg flour instead of 16dl etc)It's usually a mix of the two.
>>21599800>hey guise let's have one of those epic d&c shitfights
>>21599800The only time I use mass for cooking is when measuring the sugar to make syrup. A kilo of sugar and 500ml of water.
>>21599800yeah, nah. Baking and candy making has to precise. Not you cups, feet, bees and whetever the fuck measurement you barbarians use.
Big brains use both depending on the situation
>>21599800I don't use scales, but I also don't work for a bakery dealing in high volume recipes. (I do use a scale for the homemade dog food).I have never had an issue with measuring cups, spoons and dashes of this or that. I use the same coffee mug to measure rice and water. It always works for me. I use my eyes most of the time when at the stove or grill. Experience is the ingredient in my usual menus.
>>21599800it's not skill issue. it is objectively more accurate and always will be. no matter how "skilled" you are, flour will always be more or less packed. berries and other irregularly shaped items will take up more or less volume depending on both their shape and the shape and size of the cup you're using to measure.

>>21599800Post body.
>>21599800I also live in Northern Europe and you’re a nigger. If a recipe using imperial I just look for a different recipe
I’m American and I cook by mass weighing in grams because I paid attention in science classes where we learned metric and converting 1 gram to 1 mL for liquids with density near water is too convenient to pass up
fact of the matter is there are so many regional ingredient and equipment variables that measurements are always a rough guide.
>>21604136That's the whole idea behind it.Everyone knows water, so it's an excellent reference point.
