If you read a recipe that stated, "Add a little bit of baking soda," how much would you add? A teaspoon? A tablespoon? A pinch? Recipes are created with specific, measurable quantities that cause the end result to be as desired. Using quantities different from what was originally prepared will produce a different end result and it will nearly always be inferior.
Having exact quantities for stove (or cooker) top recipes isn't as important (in general) as it is for baking. When baking, exact quantities are imperative to the success of the recipe.
You can make a recipe from wherever you are using measuring cup quantities that are unchangeable and indisputable. Someone else can be in an entirely different city, make the same recipe, and have the same result because quantities measured in universally-accepted ways remain the same, regardless of where we are. It's predictable, constant, and necessary to the success of the recipe.
