I understand the argument that providing volumetric measurements as well increases accessibility, but I think only having volumetric measurements has a detrimental effect on encouraging people to cook by making recipes less likely to turn out correctly.
It also makes many of us less likely to try a recipe or return to a source that only has volumetric measurements. Many recipes involve a significant time commitment and expensive ingredients, and many of us don't want to risk wasting time and money because a recipe contained inexact measurements.
I would agree with the multiple other commenters who have said that having a scale is a very basic kitchen requirement. Good kitchen scales are inexpensive- I think I paid $13 for mine and it's lasted 5+ years. I really like ATK and I have learned a lot from these videos; I'm hoping they include more weight based measurements going forward.

Is there a secret to cleaning the cooling rack? Yes, take to the car wash, soap it up and scrub it and then use the high-pressure spray on it. 🙂

To clean the cooling rack, I tried Dawn power wash yesterday and it worked great to loosen the baked on crud. I scrubbed it with a brush to further loosen anything up, and then put it in the dishwasher.

For anyone debating about buying a scale, do it. I initially bought one for baking, but I now use it everyday. It’s useful to measure liquid so I only have to dirty one cup. I weigh out my grains instead of measuring them. I portion out salmon and meat. You can get a good one for $10-15. But if you can afford it, get the OXO scale for around $40 (use a coupon at Bed Bath and Beyond).

"We don't want to make you buy equipment you might not already have." I can't believe ATK thinks people will spend $$$ on Dutch ovens, roasting pans and electronic thermometers but won't spend a few dollars on some scales. Have you seen how much some of your equipment costs?! How many recipes require a Dutch oven? Nearly everything requires a thermometer. Come on! Use scales!

Thank you for all the great info. I really enjoy your videos. Even an old cook like me can learn new things and you have such an easy-going style. It's like having a friend in the kitchen. Thanks!
