When should I weigh Brussels sprouts, halved instead of using cups?

Whenever the recipe specifies grams or when flavor and texture hinge on exact amounts. Cups are practical; scales are accurate.

What error margin should I expect on Brussels sprouts, halved measurements?

About ±10 % for volume measures, ±1 % for scale measures. Recipes robust to ±10 % work from either; tight bakes need the scale.

Weigh for roasting, sautés, or salads; halve for more even cooking and caramelization.
