Uh, you know metric has volume measurements as well, and Imperial has weight measurements? Measuring cup vs scales is not really a difference in metric and imperial.
A litre of water weighs a kilogram. When asked for 300ml of water, I can add 300g instead.
Only at sea level. Cooking with metric in the Himalayan mountains would not allow for this conversion.
+1 point to imperial /s
Okay now do oil.
It's not often you get a recipe telling you to add 300ml of oil. But it sounds like a recipe I want to try.
That's a good point, that does come in handy.
Directions and nutrition information and other stuff like that tend to use mass for metric and volume for imperial. Yeah, you can convert stuff, but it's annoying.
