My $40 digital scale turned a cake disaster into a win

I used to guess my flour amounts and my cakes came out like bricks. Bought a cheap scale last month and my layers are perfectly even now. Anyone else find one simple tool that fixed a big baking problem?

Oh man, I feel seen. My "eyeballed" cookies were basically hockey pucks for years.

Finally caved and bought a kitchen scale last year. Turns out my "little extra butter" was basically a whole extra stick. No wonder my cookies were spreading into one giant sheet.

Nah, eyeballing it is the only way to bake. Recipes are just guidelines anyway. My best cookies came from winging it and a little extra butter.
