Please just parse recipes and do it well. I can convert it myself and you cannot convert volume to weight reliably unless you index specific ingredients (brand, flour type, seive) to their volumetric weight.

FTR: I hate volume measured recipes that include flour. "1 cup of flour"...hmm, what does that mean? Guess I'm about to find out.

I generally assume it means to sift the flour into a cup but that is not always the case. Some recipes do not specify, and some do. It's a roll of the dice which is the recipe writers default for "1 cup of flour." Some recipes count on you gouging out a packed cup and some assume you should be sifting. Professionals weigh their flour.

The last thing this app should be doing is trying to figure all this out. Impossible.

I have seen it tried in other services and the feature just got in the way or ruined the recipe.

But.. that's what I want! e.g. 1C flour = 120g, 1C sugar = 200g. If you parse the recipe, it cannot be that hard to do a conversion based on ingredient, and such a value add!
