Weight is probably more accuate but unless you are baking
professionally it probably is not all that importand. That said my old
copy of Amendola's book on baking gave all measures in lb & oz. No
volume measures that I can recall. I think I had a pie crust recipe
that called for 10lb of flour and 3 lb of water.
