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?

      But what I’m saying is I’m plenty accurate enough with cups… there would be no appreciable difference for my box of brownies.

        You’re maybe plenty accurate for the brownies of your preference, but probably not for professional cooking or other activities that require accuracy.
