Random question for cooks, out of curiosity - when a recipe calls for 3/4 cup of something like flour or sugar, do you eyeball it in a one cup measuring cup, or use 1/2 cup and 3/4 cup measuring cups? (Assuming the recipe doesn’t have metric weight conversions and you don’t want to do them) Are you Team Eyeball 👁️ or Team Measurement 📏?

For things that matter, I do a conversion and use my scale for reproducible results.
