Because I have to scale the measurements for seasonings in recipes for 2 servings to 90+ on a number of occasions, I prefer to measure out the amount, weigh it, and then scale it either up or down.
We featured a recipe recently that used 2 Tbsp of curry powder, turmeric, and ground cumin (2 Tbsp of each). You'd think you could just mix 11.25 c of each to get the right amount of seasoning for 90 2-portion servings. However, because each of the spices, when measured, did not weighed the same, it had to be scaled using grams. For me, this was an issue when purchasing the spices and then for the person doing the mixing, the weight of each was important.
