In the UK, you can expect most households to have a kitchen scale. All recipes here are in metric units, some with imperial units in brackets. For example, see a typical recipe in the Daily Mail at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-91187/Recipes-day-three.html. The Daily Mail is the most anti-metric of the British newspapers ()
-----Original Message----- From: USMA [mailto:usma-boun...@colostate.edu] On Behalf Of Pierre Abbat Sent: 12 July 2016 02:42 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA 226] How common are kitchen scales? I recently got the book Healthy 4 Life from the WAPF. Besides nutritional advice, it is full of recipes, almost all of which use cups or spoons as units. I'm thinking of asking them to provide the equivalent mass in grams of all ingredients. The mass, however, is no use without a scale. If I picked a household at random from (the USA/the Anglophony/Europe/...), how likely is it to have a kitchen scale, and with what precision? I have two: a gram scale which I use to weigh things in a pot, and a decigram scale which I use to weigh rice, salt, wakame, and other things in a small container.
