Hi Kat,

Thank you for the reply. My concern is that non-scientists (who may be less likely to use a scale) will grab their measuring cups and fill them up with a different amount than what the recipe was tested. I prefer using weights and the scale does make cleanup much easier. The scientific community doesn’t use the US Customary System, so I thankfully never had to convert from cups! I find the US Customary System unnecessarily complicated, especially the difference between an avoirdupois (dry) ounce and fluid ounce; I wish the we would finally adopt the metric system so we could stop using cups and teaspoons.
