Geez, calm down, Barbarian Our method works fine for the millions of cooks who use it. No one suggested you do anything differently.

Why do we Americans continue to use cups and spoonfuls? Very simple. It is what we learned at a young age, what our mothers used and taught us. Americans are great at mucking about. It makes for a great pastime.

Thank you.
I've been baking for going on 50 years. If I can manage the changeover, surely the younger generation shouldn't quail! LOL!
That's a horrible idea... I cannot understand ... CLEARLY better ... Don't do it! ... I have neither the time nor the inclination to muck about ... What a mess!
I assume you are British or similar, rather than American. It' s a lot easier to convert American recipes from cups to ounces rather than cups to grammes (because, of course, America has had more sense than to go metric so their cups still measure in ounces).Yeah but cups come in all types of sizes how do I know what size cup to measure with and how do I know how much a quarter cup is... :S

Allow me to disagree here. America has no sense at all when it comes to measuring system. The whole wide world is using metric. If America were using metric it would be so much easier. And I am absolutely positive there would be even economic benefits for the whole country as far as trade go. I for sure see it in our company, we are having really hard time with manufacturing stuff for Europe, because they do not want American Standard, they want metric stuff.
