> Measuring ingredients in anything other than grams or fractions of each other. I came to believe that if a recipe uses spoons, cups etc. it just means that nobody actually really tried to cook that and there's no way to tell what the ingredients are actually supposed to be. There are very few recipes which actually benefit from the precision of measuring by weight. Not zero recipes, but it ain't a lot. For most things (including baking), throwing 1/4c in (or whatever amount) is good enough. You need to get into the right ballpark, not get it exact.
