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?

I’m going to estimate 99% of recipes in the US don’t give weights for those. It will say one large onion or 3 medium zucchini. There are a few places (serious eats) that tend to give weights but it’s extremely rare. If you’re lucky you’ll get volumes but weights are so rare.
