I've lived in both America and Europe and the idea that home cooks in Europe keep a scale around and measure everything by weight any more than Americans do is complete bullshit. The fact that weight is more accurate than volume has nothing to do with imperial vs metric. The only real difference I've seen is that every measuring cup and scale in the US has both units, while in Europe they only use metric, and yet they're the only ones looking up recipes using the other measurement system for some reason.

Precisely for the reason you stated, because there are many different sizes of cup.

You can use a mug, a pint glass or even a 10 litre bucket, it doesn't matter. Half a cup will always be half whatever your measuring container is, while two cups will always be two full containers. It's a system that scales instantly and perfectly regardless of how big or small you go.

>aebitrary

Metric is based on science. Imperial is based made up american retardedness.

“The units of the metric system, originally taken from observable features of nature, are now defined by phenomena such as the microwave frequency of a caesium atomic clock which accurately measures seconds. One unit, the kilogram, remains defined in terms of a man-made artefact, but scientists recently voted to change the definition to one based on Planck's constant via a Kibble balance. The new definition is expected to be formally propagated on 20 May 2019.”

Metric is still arbitrary, they've just attached it to physics phenomena. You could do the exact same thing with imperial

The value of any unit in itself doesn't matter, we could have decided that 1 cm = 1 inch and it wouldn't change anything to the value of metric. It's the idea of making it a logical and decimal system that's great.

This is why Americans are shit at baking. They use cup measurements. This is why their bread has way too much sugar in it. I've tasted wonder bread and couldn't eat it. Why would you make something so sweet that can be used for savoury food?

All bread needs sugar to feed the yeast. Wonder bread fed the yeast and fed it more and more and more. No European bread is sweet tasting. You're living in your own bubble. Bread is not sweet tasting. Never has been.

Okay, let`s play a game
How many cubes with 1 cm side will fit in a cube with 1m side?
How many cubes with 1 inch side will fit in a cube with 1 yard side?
Do not use google or calculator.
Bonus round - how many liters is in 1m and 1 cm cubes and how many ounces is in 1 yard and 1 inch cubes.
Bonus bonus round - how heavy would the cubes be if filled with water (assume the cubes themselves are weightless), in kilograms and pounds respectively.

1 / 100 = 100 cubes will fit into a 1m cube

Go home skeleton, you are drunk. One meter by one centimeter is not a cube. And the answer is approximately 6 cubic inches of water will fit inside a 1cm x 1cm x 1m longdong if I'm not drunk too. I only rounded to the third decibel before multiplying then went to liquid volume and imperial because fuck you.

>>12373300
Oh, i meaned the 1m x 1m x 1m and 1cm x 1cm x 1cm cube volume.
Still, seriously impressive. Did the calculation myself, landed in the same ballpark (about 6), but i fuck if i can calculate that precisely in my head.
Thank you, drunk skelly.

>>12373290
Cooking with precise units is easier, since you know how many cups (i assume, 200ml) will fit in your pot or stuff like that. And i know that i have 2.5 cups of oil in my 0.5 liter bottle.

My country also use 'cups,' but ours have different values and are exclusively used for liquids and, far (FAR) more rarely, flour.
'Coffee cup' = 80ml
'Wine glass' = 150ml
'Drinking glass' = 250ml

Then again, we used to use a lot of the measures Americans use, like inches, gallons, pounds and ounces, though we abandoned them centuries ago. Well, except ounce. We still use ounces but only for measuring powdered coffee.

Why wouldn't you just measure a whole, uncut onion and guesstimate how much to cut from it for 91g?
Also, how many cups is 91g of onion? I mean, a quarter cup is ~59ml, as is said ITT, but ml != g.
I know 250ml of flour is roughly equal to 125g, so if you assume you can cut onion small enough to have the same density as flour, then 59ml of onion would be ~29.5g so 3/4 cup onion is roughly equal 91g. Yikes, that took a while to figure out, didn't it? I coulda weighed a dozen onions on the meantime.
