That is because weight is more accurate than volume.

Volume was previously used because the measuring tools were cheaper and easier to use than a scale.

It's more accurate, it dirties fewer dishes, it's easier to scale recipes for larger or smaller batches, and it's much easier to fine tune portions. Plus, I make a very consistent coffee. I found something I like a lot, and I want it to be extremely repeatable.

I do, as a metric person, feel like doing things by volume is way more fun though. And I mean visual volume, no measurements. I'm radical like that.

I feel that you are the type of person that is responsible for recipes with instructions like “knead until it feels right” or “make in the usual way” 😜

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

My favourite recipes are 100 years or older. They usually aren't very instructive.

What are measurements precious?

But what if you cook on the moon? Checkmate!

Actually doesn't even matter, but you will cook for 24 people instead of 4.
