Wouldn’t it make more sense to measure the sugar and salts in grams, rather than milliliters?

- pluma 9y agoIn fact I think teaspoons are reasonable for those if it's something you'd prepare at home. Faster to measure with a teaspoon than using a scale or measuring cup, I'd think.
- koolba 9y agoI never liked spoon based measurements as the spoon size varies. There’s also the never ending question of level vs heaping.

- Double_a_92 9y agoWith those things it doesn't have to be exact. I can imagine how much 6 teaspoons or 2 tablespoons are. But I can't really do anything with 25g without a scale.
- mistercleo 9y agoI was curious because I sometimes estimate recipe ingredients so I and compared my intuitive notion of a teaspoon and tablespoon to their measured amounts using table salt and found it to be off by a larger margin than I expected.
- mrob 9y agoDifferent types of salt and sugar have different densities too.
- Libturd 9y agooh no! an extra grain in my recipe! lol you fucking people.
- KarenSatantsby 9y agoI can weigh an amount of water that fits my coffee pot.. but that is learned over 20 years.. I can add amounts to warm cups or make oatmeal but I would need a food scale and I dont have one.
