More accurate measurements become important in the large volumes used in commercial food production. Also, a home cook can use greater precision at times. Water at 4.0 °C (39.2 °F) may be volumetrically measured then weighed to determine an unknown measuring-utensil volume [13] without the need for a water-density adjustment. [14]

In the U.S. in 2008, there was a renewed focus on cooking at home due to the late-2000s recession. [36] Home cooking in the U.S. was similarly inspired in the early 2020s during the coronavirus pandemic.
