In reply to Vanessa. That's such a good point, Vanessa! I hadn't thought about differences in measuring cups, but that definitely makes a good case for weight measurements. I hope you enjoyed the post!

Weights are the same for everybody whereas not only will cups differ by the method you use to fill them but they also differ in size in different countries. The Canadian measuring cup is apparently not identical to the US one…sigh!!!

In reply to Annamarie. I totally agree with you there, Annamarie! A lot of people across the world (and especially here in the United States) don't always have kitchen scales in their homes, so it's helpful to include both volume and weight measurements. I hope you enjoyed the article!

When creating a baking recipes, I alway use weight as it is a more accurate form of measuring, and truly leads to consistent baking results. But I often wonder if everyone has access to a scale. In order to accommodate the home cook that does not have access to these tools, I try to put both the volume and weight.

In reply to Shani Whisonant. So, so true! Using a food scale really helps lead to consistency when baking, and it's honestly just so much easier. Glad you enjoyed the post, Shani!

In reply to Lisa Keys. This is spot on! When people ask why their recipes aren’t consistent, the first question that I ask is whether they’re using a food scale and metric measurement. It’s the quickest way to build consistency and confidence as a baker.

In reply to Lisa Keys. Totally agree with you there, Lisa! Using weight measurements just makes baking so much more accurate.
