"Measuring everything on the scale to a gram yields much better and consistent results than wondering if your dish will fail..." It really depends on the recipe. Some cookbooks, for example, recommend that measurements be as accurate as possible for baking. However, I doubt the majority of the worlds population use scales to measure ingredients when they cook. In fact, great cuisines from around the world have developed perfectly well without the use of scales for measuring ingredients. Can you honestly say 250g of chopped carrots is preferable to two medium-sized carrots, chopped?
