A weighty matter
Clotilde has posted an updated weights & measures conversion chart on her blog. I love it! The one thing that often stops me from baking is the thought of cleaning all the little measuring cups and spoons. Sure, I have a dishwasher, but doesn't it always happen that you measure out some oil, belatedly realizing that you need the same cup to measure out flour? DOH! Yeah I know in the strictest sense you should use different measuring cups for liquids and dry ingredients, but that is so not happening in my kitchen. But I love just plopping my mixing bowl on my Salter kitchen scale, hitting the tare button, and pouring in ingredients with nary a dirty cup or spoon in sight. This is the way we'll all cook in the future. To the future!
