A decent set of precision kitchen scales, and some general use scales that don't have a massive delay on them #WeightSupremacist4Lyf
But seriously, fuck you, measuring cups. Fuck. You.
Cooking by weight is superior. Tell all your friends! (I do).
Where do you find recipes that use weights rather than volume? Also, would precision really be that important? Say it's off by 0 0 1 g? I doubt that would matter in almost any recipe.
Don't know how you'd cook without kitchen scales. Also, is delay on kitchen scales a thing? I've never seen any with delay, not even super cheap ones. (I'm from Europe though)
I just replaced my kitchen scale because my old one had an unacceptable delay before updating. The new one put a massive smile on my face the first time I used it.
Sometimes multiple scales are important too! I’ve got the big ol boi with the white bowl, has worked amazingly for food for years. Then the standard blade scale for weighing… Parsley and… salt. Finally, the lil guy with the tiny metal saucer that goes down to .001 for weighing… really… small amount of… yeah it’s drugs
