Measuring cups??

[Gainzandpainz]

Do you use measuring cups at all? If so, when/what do you use them (for)?

[muruku]

nope. i only use recipes that has the weight or metric volume listed.

I only have a tablespoon. So if a recipe calls for 3 cups of flour, i just convert that to tablespoons.

I only use a measuring cup when I want to use the spout.

If my recipe has volume measurements, I just look for an online conversion table, so I know how many grams to use.

Nope only weighted amounts. Volumetric amounts tend to overshoot what they are as listed in grams

For example.. half a cup of oats is 40 grams (as per the packaging) but when i measure a half cup of oats in a measuring cup it ends up being 50-60 grams

3 cups is a lot of tablespoons dude. Time to make that big investment I think.

Measuring cups and spoons are useful in baking. Either way, use a food scale to weigh it to log macros and calories.
