I’m tired of guessing which country the author is from when they use cup measurement and how densely they put flour in it.

    It’s not chemistry as much as chemistry is chemistry.

    Like 1/4 cup of sugar being like 2% off isn’t going to matter.

    Then you want to weigh out your teaspoon of baking powder? I guess you’ll need a small scale made for such tiny amounts to go along with your larger one. Hope you like cooking taking longer with more little things to clean.

    Doing it all by weight is a waste of time and something no one with a real amount of experience cooking would bother with. Where your butter comes from is more important than how much of a weight difference can be from measuring out 3 tablespoons of it compared to weighing it out.

      Baking powder isn’t too bad for a lot of recipes, but baking soda and spices are used in such tiny amounts that my kitchen scales do not measure them accurately.
