Who Measures Ingredients by Metric?

[GadgetGuy]

I don't. It's too confusing!! I find that it's much easier to measure ingredients the regular way.

When baking I use metric, grams. Way more precise than ounces and with volumes you can be off by prodigious amounts.

Its whatever you are used to doing I think. In Europe we use metric and its not confusing to us.

I have a scale which easily converts to either.

Mine does too. I only use ounces when measuring serving portions but I'm getting pretty good at eyeballing those.

I'm old enough to remember ounces and pounds as the norm in the UK and I do have many cookery books which predate metric. Some recipes are commited to my memory in ounces. For example: rough puff pastry is 8oz flour and 4oz fat.

But grams are certainly more precise.

Just depends on what I’m making and what recipe I’m following.

I use Freedom Units.
