Just be fucking happy they are not using football fields or multiples of some tall building length as unit.
The worst I saw was some cook telling the amount of pepper in recipe in cranks of pepper grinder.

- BitwiseFool 4y agoTo play devils advocate, most cooking does not require the kind of precision that warrants getting out a small scale to measure the weight of crushed peppercorns. Not just because these things are season-to-taste, but also, because the average person cooking a meal can instantly translate cranks of pepper compared to a small unit of weight. Most home recipes also measure ingredients by volume rather than weight, so I can understand this.
- skykooler 4y agoI agree. And it's far faster to measure something by scooping it via measure spoons than to try and match a desired weight on a scale.
