If they're US cookbooks then you'll have to convert all the pint
measures to 0.8pint measures.

US recipes don't use pints, they use fluid oz. or cups (which
surprisingly work just as well for liquids as solids).


Ah, OK I don't have any US cookbooks, which I guess is why I've not come
across 'cup' or 'fluid oz.' as a measurement, but to get back to the
original point about weighing stuff using scales I can measure fluids in
oz. or grams, just as easily as I can measure solids in oz. or grams.
