Kitchen scales
Looking for an accurate kitchen scale? Here you’ll find models with a tare function for every baking enthusiast.
Why a kitchen scale is indispensable in the kitchen
With a kitchen scale you can weigh all your ingredients accurately. This helps prevent the ratios being off and your dough or batter failing. Place your mixing bowl on the kitchen scale and press zero. Then add the required amount, for example 300 g of flour. Need more ingredients? Set the kitchen scale back to zero and add the next ingredient.
Compact, foldable or design-led? The shape matters
What is actually the best scale? It’s smart to consider which type of scale will fit in your kitchen cupboard. You can choose from the following options:
- Digital kitchen scale: fitted with an LCD display so you can read weights clearly. Like a digital clock, a digital kitchen scale runs on batteries. When the batteries are running low, you’ll see this on the display.
- Spoon scale: handy for small quantities such as spices or baking powder. Takes up little space and is easy to clean.
- Kitchen scale with bowl: the mixing bowl is fixed to the scale, so you no longer need a separate bowl. The kitchen scale with bowl is available in a digital version.
- Foldable kitchen scale: lightweight, compact and easy to store. Ideal if you don’t use the scale every day.
Kitchen scale with tare function: what is it and why is it useful?
Resetting the scale to zero while baking? You can do that with a kitchen scale with a tare function. This way you can weigh several ingredients one after another in the same bowl, without having to start again.
How much weight should you be able to weigh?
When baking, it’s important to weigh accurately. Even small differences in quantity can affect the final result. For home bakers, a kitchen scale up to 5 kg is often sufficient. Do you bake larger quantities? Then a 10 kg or 15 kg kitchen scale is more suitable.
