I prefer using volumetric measurements like cups or teaspoons when baking. Liters or ml would also work.
why?
Not op, but for small quantities, volumetric is usually more accurate. I know a teaspoon of yeast weighs about 3 grams, but most cheap kitchen scales can't really be trusted until you're measuring 10 grams or or more. A teaspoon of dried oregano is so light it probably doesn't even register on most cheap kitchen scales.
Never understood how full a spoon should be
Hmmm yes flour is packed or unpacked? How dense?
For some recipes unpacked and measured by bulk density.
For other recipes you gotta do a slightly overfull cup measured by tamping density.
Figuring out how to measure in which situation is left as an excecise to the reader.
Oh you want fluid ounces
