MODERATORS
I'm European but I have a set of US cups in my kitchen because most recipes are in these stupid American measurements.
Most 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.
Also tones of butter, sugar and their biscuits are soft.
Why not just convert the units?
Because it's an annoying extra step I need to take. Also volumetric units are less accurate and don't convert to well into metric.
I 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.
Yeah grams are way more accurate and I always prefer to weigh, especially when it comes to stuff like coffee.
