Dear All,
You might find this quotation interesting:
At the same time as you are going to buy a new book, invest in a set
of accurate, decent quality digital scales. I prefer to use the
metric system, as it is easy to multiply up and divide down using 10s,
100s and 1000s. And you can, with great care, become accurate
weighing to a single gram. For a home baker using tiny quantities of
yeast and salt, this is very important. I urge you to ditch the
volumetric measuring system as soon as possible, and weigh all your
ingredients, water included. Use the old imperial system if you
must, but metric really is easier. Once you have done this, you will
never want to go back to cup measurement.
