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?

    Only if you have cup sized cups. Otherwise it’s just gonna throw your ratios off

      We have measuring cups, along with similarly standardized spoons and liquid measuring cups (same measurement just a different form factor).

      Everyone who cooks has at least one set. I literally never had (nor needed) a scale in the kitchen until I started baking, in my forties.
