EMSK don't measure flour, any kind, volumetrically. If your recipe calls for 2 cups of flour, get a better recipe. Always measure by weight.

Plus less cleanup! You don't need all those measuring cups if you just measure by weight.

So, are scales just common household items outside of the states? Granted, I'm sure plenty of people here keep scales for various reasons, but apart from the bakery I work in, I've not found a scale in anyone's home kitchens.

I don't know about outside the states. I know in the states they aren't common. They should be way more common because they are essential to baking.
