I’m tired of guessing which country the author is from when they use cup measurement and how densely they put flour in it.

    I just disagreed with the statement

    They are always the same

    It may impact you, but the same would happen climbing and having different boiling points. It may be extreme, but we are talking about convincing folks who use a spoon as a standard.

      Tablespoons and tea spoons are fine as a measurement because they are made to a standard size. That’s like complaining people are using a piece of tape as a measurement. That’s what i grew up with, and it is what i am comfortable with. I’m not saying it’s better, I absolutely agree that variables in cooking such as elevation and ambient temperature/humidity matter way more and the overwhelming majority of the population wont notice a difference if you measure by volume, by weight, or are so experienced you just eyeball it.
