Just spent $80 on a new digital scale and it's a total game changer

I was always the 'eyeball it' baker until my sourdough loaves kept coming out different every time. I finally caved and bought a decent digital scale for about eighty bucks. My recipe calls for 500g of flour and 350g of water, and now I hit it perfectly every single batch. The consistency is unreal, and I'm not wasting ingredients anymore. Has anyone else found one tool that finally made your recipes click?

Tell me about it, my scale was the best kitchen buy ever. Did you find it hard to switch from cups to grams at first? I remember feeling slow, weighing each thing separately, but now I can't imagine going back. It makes you realize how off "a cup of flour" can be depending on how you scoop it.

Actually, I never used cups at all! I'm from the UK, so grams were always the standard.
