Why can't we switch to metric?

So you think the imperial counterpart of grams is cups?

Volume and weight are both useful measures in the kitchen
As per your example, weighing salt is insane, use a spoon

Cup is a measure of volume
Gram is a weight
It would be better with 120ml, also 1 cup is ~250ml

we still use cups and spoons etc. for cooking
only baking needs exact measurements like grams

It is not. And a lot of European recipes would be like "a cup of flour", "a cup of sugar", "a tablespoon of salt", etc.
It depends on how precise the author of the recipe intended it to be.

You spoon the flour into the cup, then level it off with a butterknife (this is why Imperial is illegal in Europe). If you don't know this, you shouldn't be trying to make anything.

You should.
Let's say you managed to cook the perfect ratio, but didn't bother keeping track, then you would never reach perfection again.

Using measuring cups is an entirely different philosophy, it has very little to do with imperial vs metric. Nothing stops you from using standardized measuring cups with metric, and nothing stops you using weighing scales with imperial.

I have eyeballed for years and shit *only* doesn't turn out when I fuck up with timing the oven or something. 99% of cooking is just not over/under cooking something. Recipes are for the low IQ. They're dumber than Ikea instructions.

you're gonna measure the volume retard ?

A pinch of salt.
Or I use my drug dealer scale when precision is required (tobacco casing juice, ice cream).

Gay strawman post. Measuring by mass is essential for baking. Only a total retard who doesn't know what they're doing just scoops out flour
