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?

    Because you can’t pack a scale and weights on a cart as easily as you can a set of cups?

        They are now. Not when people were going out west on wagons. As stated above, it’s because of historical reasons.
