I've used a scale for years, and won't ever go back! There are a few approximate weights I've memorized to make things faster (A/P Flour ~ 140g/cup; Sugar ~ 200g/cup; Water ~ 240g/cup) and this helps a lot. I still haven't convinced my wife that it's easier (she can't remember those weights because she doesn't use them often enough), but she definitely appreciates the lack of dishes at the end. Also, that ingredients weight chart would be even more useful if it had both ounces AND GRAMS. Now you're just going to make me do all the conversions! ;-)
