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?

    I just wing everything and use neither cups or a scale. I’ve been cooking for like 30 years lol so everything comes out how I like it 🤷‍♀️

        Sure, depends where you are at and what you are baking. I make sourdough bread at least weekly totally by eye, memory and skill. I use coffee mugs most often. I used to measure things like 15 years ago but no longer need to.
