yeah as far as using a scale to measure goes that's probably a good call if you wanna be really speciifc. one cup of flour can have different amounts depending on how much if fluffs, for example. but i feel like.......................................... IME cooking is pretty forgiving. you odn't need to be down to the miligram

The scale is good because you don't need to dirty measuring cups or anything else. Everything in one or two bowls! Amazing feeling

oh that's actually a really good call. when i measure flour i have a whole process where i take a measuring cup and a butter knife to level the measurement off but that means i have to dirty two things up each time i measure.

I'll have to look in to getting a scale. i don't like buying special kitchen tools though, so who knows. if i get one i'll let you know.
