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?

    How do you transfer the food from the cutting board to the scale?

      How do you transfer the food from the cutting board to the measuring cup?

        You put it in the cup. Which also measures it. You don’t have to press any buttons or tare anything. You just keep adding broccoli until cup is full.

      Put empty cutting board on scale. Press tare. Put broccoli on cutting board. There you go, you have just measured the weight of broccoli without taking it off the cutting board. You can’t do that with a cup.

        You don’t NEED to do all that with a cup. You know how you measure a cup of brocoli? You put it in the damn cup. You don’t need to move the broccoli off the cutting board or tare your cutting board before cutting or even press any buttons. Take broccoli, add to cup. Stop when cup is full.
