I like my glass measuring cups but the printing on them has really disappeared over time. Does anyone have a measuring cup that they love?

I just weigh the fluids.
Water is 1g per ml and most other things are close enough that I don’t care.
It’s gonna suck when you recipe calls for dark matter. (Also, to scroll to the recipe you have to read the entire history of the universe.)
I don’t know if there’s a name for it, but an increasing number of recipe writers are using only weight based measurements. This is super handy because you just have a scale, add ingredients, and just tare as you need. The measurements are also more accurate because, eg, flour can be compacted, so “1 cup of flour” could vary by a lot depending on how you measure it.
I convert all measurements in the recipes I use to weight except teaspoons. It’s just simply faster to get the end product and leaves less dishes at the end.
Teaspoons are fair because at that scale you might be talking about 0.5grams, which is harder to weigh and easier to eyeball.
Yeah, the scale I have at home is only accurate up to 1g so a 1/4 tsp is not going to be accurate
Salt is another example. A teaspoon of salt can be a very different amount depending on if you use fine salt, coarse salt or even flaky salt.
Just use fine salt if you’re mixing. It spreads more evenly anyway.
Or by the bran content. Or by the protein content. Flour measurements in recipes are a lie…
