As a European I only get mildly upset when reading US recipes. "1 cup of flour" Just the fact that it's a measure of volume [0] instead of weight is already stupid imo. I pretty much stopped reading recipes where there are no metric units (weight!) provided, preferably in grams.

- cassianoleal 4y agoYou are correct. At the same time, the way we measure mass is by measuring weight and having the balance approximate a conversion. I imagine most balances use sea level gravity for that but I can't be bothered to do research. :D
