FAQ
A kitchen scale – sometimes also called a household scale – is used for two different things: To find out what the food you intend to eat weighs or to weigh ingredients when cooking or baking. A kitchen scale is a relatively small scale that can either be flat or equipped with a fixed bowl.
If you are going to measure one single thing, the procedure is very simple: Reset the scale and place what should be weighed on it. If you want to weigh several things – for example, a bowl of yoghurt, muesli and berries – and want to know what each of the things weighs, then it is easiest to pour in one ingredient, note the weight, reset the scale again and pour in the next. This way, you can refill the same container and still find out what the different ingredients weigh.
For starters, the design differs. Some scales are flat, while others come with a bowl on top. A flat scale is, of course, preferable if you are going to place plates or bowls on it. There are scales with analogue meters and scales with digital meters.
Check the maximum weight to match your needs. If you intend to weigh food that is on a plate, it is, of course, necessary that the weight of the plate does not exceed the maximum weight. If you are buying from a foreign store, make sure the scale matches the measurements you are going to use.
A kitchen scale costs anywhere between 10 and 1,00 GPB, and it depends on precision and amount of finesse that determines what the price tag lands on.
