STANDARD US MEASURING SET

Look. I've been in the UK since 2007. I've adapted. I say 'lift'.

*But* I have never gotten my head around using a kitchen scale. I'm too lazy. Plus, my kitchen isn't big enough for a lot of pre-measuring so I measure as I cook (which is how I write my recipes).

You can certainly calculate weight based on the measurements given (I've certainly reverse-calculated that like a madman over the years) but I've not met anyone in the UK who has gone back to weighing after using the standard US measuring set.

If I've offended, do forgive me. Otherwise, use your measuring cups and let's get cooking.

*Tip: Buy metal ones with the measurements engraved. That way they won't get worn off or washed off. Something like this.
