minus-squareHolyhandgrenade@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up24·10 months agoI’m European but I have a set of US cups in my kitchen because most recipes are in these stupid American measurements.
minus-squareSkippingRelax@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down3·edit-210 months agoMost American recipes; just look for something specific to your country. Those recipes are gross anyway. Homemade nanna secret cake calls for a box of your favourite cake mix from the supermarket. I found recipes for soups that list fucking tins of soups in the ingredients. Like you make soup using a can of already made soup?! I tend to add “grams” to my searches if I’m looking for something in English.

minus-squareForgotAboutDre@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoI avoid volumetric measurement whenever I can. I’ve found weight based measurement to be vastly superior, especially when you have a 0.1g digital scale. It’s much easier to weight 100g of water than check the line on 100ml.
minus-squareHolyhandgrenade@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoYeah grams are way more accurate and I always prefer to weigh, especially when it comes to stuff like coffee.

Why not just convert the units?
