Small Unit measures?

[taxlady]

My point is that teaspoons and tablespoons and fractions thereof are measures of volume while a scale measures weight. A set volume of different ingredients will have different weights. e.g. a tablespoon of salt will weigh more than a tablespoon of oregano or flour etc.

In order for a scale to be useful, you'd have to have a chart of volumes to weights of all common ingredients.

Or, you could put a tablespoon or teaspoon of whatever you are trying to weigh on the scale and then do the arithmetic.

⅛th of a tablespoon is the same as ⅜ths of a teaspoon which is ¼ + ⅛. All of which has nothing to do with weight.

Using a scale for ingredient measurements is far from a new idea. And it is probably a technique that less helpful to some than others.

You're suggesting that my method is flawed because a box of lead weighs more than a box of feathers. Okay, Andy. Pick up your gold star after class.

Now I remember why I stopped posting.

Actually, broccoli and ice cream sound pretty good!
