I can only speak about NYC as I've never used MC; but I use fractions
all the time in my recipes. NYC lets you toggle between displaying
meaures as fractions and displaying them as decimals. You can add both
volume and weight measurements as well, although depending on how you
do it, it may mess up nutritional analysis and/or your shopping list.
I typically use whatever measurement the stuff is sold by (usually
weight) in the main measurement field and put the other measurement
either after the ingredient in parenthesis, or in the prep field if
there's no room there.
