My new digital scale was a total game changer

Spent about $25 on a basic one after my last few loaves were dense. Weighed everything for a sourdough this morning and the crumb is perfect. Anyone else find that a scale made a huge difference for them?

My old measuring cups were off by almost 10 grams. It's wild how much guesswork we accept in daily routines.

Seriously, it's like baking cheat codes for twenty bucks.

Wait, are we just out here playing baking roulette with our grandma's warped measuring cups? I had a recipe fail three times because my "one cup" was basically a mug I liked. Turns out I was dumping in an extra quarter cup of flour like a maniac. Twenty bucks for a digital scale felt like unlocking a secret level where things actually work.
