Grams/Oz/Tbs/Tps

I'm having trouble with the recipes on this site. I don't know grams & I don't have the proper tools for the oz. I use teaspoons & tablespoons. Can you also provide these recipes in tsp & tbl ?"

Buy a scale.

Why not just buy a scale? They're cheap enough.

ChefSteps almost exclusively uses weight measurments: because they are more accurate and more consistent when replicated. they did a video a while back where they had a few different folks measure a "cup" of flour, and they all got different masses, some varying by 10%. weight is really the way to go, really with anything, but especially with baking. once you get used to it, it really makes things a lot easier in the long run.

If you do not know how to use a scale, put the bowl on the scale, tap the zero/tare button, add the ingredient until the number matches the number in the recipe.

They even have pointers on choosing the scale that's right for you https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/choosing-a-scale

The latest trend is to use things by weight, so I purchased an inexpensive sale and have enjoyed using it.

It would be nice of recipes did list weight and a count, though.

1/2 a stick of butter reads easier than X oz/grams of butter.
