I’m tired of guessing which country the author is from when they use cup measurement and how densely they put flour in it.

    Use non-American recipes.

    The rest of the world does this. And guess what, 1 milliliter of water is exactly 1 gram, unlike stupid ounces.

      If I want a recipe in English I always end the search query with “UK” to make sure it’s in weight, not cups. I’m not a fucking toddler

        I try that too for English recipes but then I get things in tablespoons, teaspoons, pinches, good pinches, full pinches, and small bunches.

        Or my favorite “a good knob of butter”

        At least they aren’t using stone for flour though lol.

      That’s more an issue of its too hard for you to learn, then. Also, for cooking, that’s great that 1ml of water weighs 1mg. Why does that help with cooking? All the weights of everything else will be different from that. It’s much quicker and easier to use a measuring cups to get half a cup of flour than it is to get a scale and weigh out 60 grams.
