I don't see how cups are in any way better than desilitres. You use a larger measuring tool when you need more than say three dl. I agree that grams are inconvenient to use for flours and liquids, so litre/desilitre/millilitre just seems the logical option.
I'm obviously very biased by growing up with SI units, and having no cup measures around. Every time a recipe says cups, I sigh and use a smartphone to convert it.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoAccording to the article a "cup" of flour is anywhere between 120g and 150g. A 5% error in measurement is enough to screw up baking, let alone a 20% error.
- adql 3y agoI agree that grams are inconvenient to use for flours and liquids, so litre/desilitre/millilitre just seems the logical option. It works for fluids but it is complete mess for any compressible solid (flour), and even non-compressible one that comes in different grain size(salt). On side note it would be nice to have tabletops with builtin scale...
