Why do Americans measure everything in cups?
Why do Americans measure everything in cups?
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 from the UK but we have a set of cups for old recipes (and American recipes)... Honestly it's easier in a lot of cases to measure stuff out, I like it. What's really annoying is that US and UK cups are DIFFERENT SIZES.
Yes! Ounces and fluid ounces, pints, quarts... Ughhh
God gave us ten fingers for a reason, USE METRIC, PEOPLE
God gave us two hands and 10 fingers. USE DUODECIMAL, PEOPLE
