Yep, only liquids should be measured in volume, since liquids do not compress

no thank you give me the measurement in weight so i can have a digital read on it and not have to use my disgusting human eyeball to estimate

also so that i don't have to re-wash and dry my one measuring spoon 5 times

1L of water/milk = 1kg. This holds true for most liquids that are measured by volume in metric recipes.

Until one day you have to bake 3,000 Stroopwafels to save the local coffee shop** and you realize that your kitchen scale is about to become the stickiest object known to mankind because you don't know how much more liquids with super high viscosity weigh per liter..

**specific situation may vary based on how many tulips YOUR country produces per square kilometer.

yeah it's what i use, but if i was happy with less than perfection i'd be using volume in the first place

Except oil.

True, but it's less than a 10% difference. There's a very big chance the recipe will work out either way

Tell that to Ice III or Ice V

Those wouldn't be liquids but solids, no?

But I respect the effort in bringing up a stupidly extreme theoretical situation that you'd never encounter in your kitchen

Well I'm unsure about Ice III, but Ice VI definitely is strange.

Of course my hyperbolic point was really that you can compress a liquid.
