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?

      If you owned a cup measure you might have some idea.

      If a recipe calls for 8 cups of flour you will need a bigger baking tin.
