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.

A lot of the time in baking when you measure out flour with cups you're meant to scoop the flour into the measuring cup with a spoon and then level it off with a knife, and I find that incredibly tedious. The easier option of just scooping the flour out with the measuring cup almost doubles the amount of flour, so that's not great either... I've found myself preferring a scale for measuring flour most of the time.
