Used a couple of US recipes recently and most of the ingredients are in cups, or spoons, not by weight. This is a nightmare to convert. Do Americans not own scales or something? What’s the reason for measuring everything by volume?

    The initial recipe that would be true.

    But then they use the recipe card and make the dish and realize “oops need more of that” Then they update the card and make sure the recipe is correct.
