Yes, fair enough if you're making something you're completely unfamiliar with. Also there's nothing wrong with adding just a little bit of an ingredient at first and then adding more if it needs it after a taste test.

Except when you need to mess around with thirds and quarters of a cup or teaspoon. Say you got a recipe for a dough that makes 10 something. Great if you need to make 10, what if you need 18? 22? Multiplying the amount of ingredients is so much easier when you are given exact numbers that are easy to measure.

>Learn how to convert between them in your head.

Just going to say that I'm pretty sure that every single measuring implement that I've bought at the store has both imperial and metric unit marks. Even the tablespoon scoops say 15 mL's (which would come out to 240 mL/cup, which should only be about a 2% error). So just use whatever measurement the recipe is in.

Personally, I'd like to see more recipes by weight or mass. Flour's particularly infamous for its compressibility.

A gallon is 8 lbs. A quarter pint is 4 oz, or a half cup. It's not that hard. Decimal systems make the least sense, 10 only has 2 factors, 2 and 5, whereas the imperial system was designed to maximize ease of divisibility. There's a reason why decimal time never took off. Decimal systems are the worst.
Is imperial the best possible system? No, obviously not, but it's leagues better than the nutty autistic french bullshit that the rest of the world uses.

Niggers are America's gods. Americans fear niggers like a mortal would fear God. They're not allowed to curse or speak ill of niggers, like how you mustn't blaspheme God or take His name in vain. They devote entire institutions in academia and media to remind themselves of their sins against niggers and beg for mercy, like you'd beg God for forgiveness for your sins. The only landmarks and monuments they're allowed to revere are parks, schools and statues dedicated to famous niggers, immortalized in marble like gods. While their ancestors expressed devotion to gods through offerings of food and drink, present-day Americans created food stamps for niggers for this very purpose. Jesus gets two annual days of reverence, while niggers get an entire month plus MLK's birthday. Americans prostrate themselves in the streets to appease niggers. This is because nigger worship is the official religion of America.

It's probably not uncommon here for a family houshold in particular to have both a measuring cup set as well as scales of some sort.

In either case it's all thought of as metric, and therefore considered as adding some amount of grams or ml to a recipe. That's what's cups will mainly be used for, whereas scales will mostly be reserved for portion sizes.

[Anonymous No.16308380]

>>16308332
Kilogram was originally named the Grave and the Gram was called Gravet. This was before they came up with their suffixes and prefixes.
But Grave (unit of mass) sounded too close to Grave (title of nobility) and France was still in a guillotining mood, so they ixnayed both Graves.
Also it was felt that the smaller Gravet was going to be the more useful everyday unit, so after they renamed it the Gram they declared it to be the official base unit of mass and the Grave then became the Kilogram.
Then later they thought it was silly that the Gram was so much smaller than the Metre and the Litre, but it was too late to rename everything so they just said Kilogram is now the base unit instead.

Bit less than one third of a packet. Good enough.
I dont understand.
Besides cooking and baking are not such rocket sciences that missing or extra 20g of butter for example is gonna ruin the recipe.
Exact, precise measuring is rarely needed.

12-based systems may be overall better due to this, but only as long as you're consistent with it and also have a duodecimal number scheme (spoiler: we don't)
using a decimal (number) and a duodecimal (measurement) system at the same time is not worth what little benefit the additional divisor gets you

>Metric units make sense
based on the volume of water at sea level, which changes as you raise in elevation.
it is in accurate.
imperial is based on 3 barley corns which have changed volume in 500,000 years.

you're an idiot, anon.

You need scales for some recipes, otherwise it will end in disaster.

I give a 10% margin of error for all weighed ingredients.

Do I need 10 grams of salt? Who cares if I add 9 or 11? It's not gonna matter.

Do I need 200 grams of butter? It's not gonna matter if I add 180 or 220.

Etc..

Oh cheers, always wondered how that worked. From the way ppl complain on here it seemed like food would be RUIENED FOREVER if you used 5 mL too much water or whatnot

Metric, imperial, as long as you get the proportions right it should taste the same
