I went completely away from using cups/tablespoons/teaspoons this past year. Went to the local Cash and Carry Food Wholesaler and bought a small tabletop scale. Can weigh up to 10# in either grams or lbs., although I only use it to weigh spices and weigh the meat block on a regular scale. I am getting better flavor between batches and my costs are consistent. I also am measuring my modern cure more accurately and that makes my wife happy. This way the only thing I need to know is the percent of each ingredient that I want to use, then can convert any recipe to grams (454 g. = 1#. 28 grams = 1 oz. ) I can’t say for everyone else, but this is really helping me.
