In baking, it is better to weigh ingredients, rather than measure by cups and spoon sizes.
Why bakers should use a scale:
Baking is a science of chemical ratios, and weighing your ingredients offers distinct advantages. Weighing ingredients with a kitchen scale measures mass, while cups and spoons measure space/volume.
Eliminates Packing and Scooping Variatons: Dipping a measuring cup straight into a bag of flour packs it down, adding up to 30% more flour (120g to 150g per cup), which leads to dry, dense cakes or cookies.
Accounts for Density and Particle Size: Ingredients like kosher salt and fine table salt take up the same volume but have vastly different weights. Using volume can accidentally double or triple a potent ingredient.
Ensures Consistent, Repeatable Results: Measuring in grams or ounces guarantees your recipe turns out identically every single time, avoiding mystery flops.
Makes Scaling Up or Down Easy: Doubling or halving a recipe in grams is simple multiplication or division, whereas halving awkward volume fractions like 1/3rd cup or 3/4 tablespoon is prone to error.
Faster Workflow and Less Cleanup: Instead of dirtying multiple measuring cups and spoons, you can place your mixing bowl directly on the scale, press "tare" (zero), and add each ingredient in sequentially.
