#anyway. ignoring the mL side bc im not busting out my cup for measuring L/mL

ohhh my god the cheesecake recipe book is american so its AAALLLL cups and tsp (which i can deal with cause ive followed american recipes before) but they tried to make it idk. non-american inclusive by having a metric side but the metric is all mL. like it's ALL cups (solids/liquids) -> mL (liquids) with the except of lb/oz -> g (solids) and that is insane. like sorry americans but unfortunately my sugar and butter and biscuits are not measured in liquids. when i buy flour/other solids the quantity listed at the side (which lets me know if I've bought enough for the recipe) is in grams. beause its not liquid. and WHY is oz (a liquid measurement) translated to g (a solids measurement). I Think Stick To The American System

#like ??? #ik they probably didn't do it manually and just had a thing calculate all cups into mLs for ease's sake #because cups is volume and grams is mass and not everything has the same volume/mass ratio #so 50mL flour and 50mL cheese have different weights even tho they both occupy the same volume (50mL/less than a 1/4cup) #so I GET THAT ITS FOR EASE #however the non american or at least the european way of baking involves USING A SCALE !!! #AS IN GRAMS!! WHICH ARE INFINITELY MORE PRECISE THAN CUPS!!! #like putting everything in mL is Not helpful ?? like I don't see the point in trying to de americanise the measurements #when at the core of it you're still giving the measurement in volume and not mass #also tangentially related do americans not have scales. why is every ingredient in volume? #not anti american BTW bake how u want + it's easy enough to follow since I do have cups and tsps/tbsps. i just think this books system is #silly #there r 300+ recipes so it would be a pain to manually adjust each ingredient but like.. #anyway. ignoring the mL side bc im not busting out my cup for measuring L/mL #argentashes
