Mass would be more accurate.
- gus_massa 6y agoMass is too difficult for a DIY recipe, specially for small amounts of things or for unusual items. I think it's fine to say "1 tablespoon of salt", but for a small increase of reproducibility I'd prefer a saturated solution. Here in Argentina the cooking recipes we don't use "cups", we instead use mass for some materials, like flour or sugar, 200 grams of flour is something like a small glass or something. You can buy a measuring glass that has the marks for the common cooking elements like sugar, flour, water, ... assuming a standard density. Also, the cooking books have a very inaccurate conversion table that says how many grams has a glass full of each material. (For an ideal glass of 250ml probably, my glasses are bigger, something like 300ml or 350ml, so I have to fix the numbers.)
