Mine is measuring cups that stack weird.
Found the American :)
Do measuring cups not exist outside of America?
While there are measuring cups, they aren't a set of cups of fixed volume, like American measuring cups, but rather like beakers with markings on them.
Our baking recipes are also based on the mass of ingredients rather than volume, which frustrates me whenever I see US-based recipes who call out for the "cup" measurement instead of mentioning the amount of grams one needs.
That's wild! TIL!
I've cooked using both methods. Both systems are childishly easy to understand but some people have to put their noses in the air about one or the other.
We typically use a kitchen scale
So what? I also have a scale which is in no way better than using a measuring cup.
I just found the American, no mention of wether that's a bad thing. It just makes your nation unique, that you use measuring cups.
I spot people from other countries all the time and leave it uncommented. The simple fact is that every culture does things their own way. I find using a scales tedious. Using cups means you don't have to bother with adding or removing. You just fill the cup to the mark or the top if its that kind of cup. I do have a scale but its most often used for portioning meat.
Why the hell are they in the same drawer?
