I’m tired of guessing which country the author is from when they use cup measurement and how densely they put flour in it.

    I had my wife try to measure water in a glass measuring cup accurately and consistently. I had her measure the same amount multiple times. Her variance was so far off the variance of the scale, that I convinced her that liquids should be done by weight when possible.

    I think that if I had a cylinder like I used decades ago in chemistry class, I might be able to get consistent kitchen measurements. But my glass pyrex measuring cup with numbers on the side is terrible.

    If I make a recipe multiple times, it gets re-written for weight versus volume.

      Idk what is so hard about measuring with a measuring cup.

      And some liquids have varying density wich would result in bad consistency as well.

      And rice? Its just 1 unit to 3 units of volume to be good. You can mesure with whatever you want for that, it doesn’t need accuracy.
