    If you’re baking something that needs exact amounts of certain ingredients, then yeah, a scale is easier. A scale is more accurate, but its slower than using a measured scoop for recipes that don’t require more precision than the scoop provides.

    You don’t actually need the full set. If all you have is 1 teaspoon and 1 cup, it will usually be OK to just eyeball the fractions.
