A Balance DIGITAL electric scale is a must for every Kitchen Instead, you place a bowl on the scale, and then pour the flour straight from the bag until you get to the desired weight. Most kitchen scales let you bring the readout back to zero after each ingredient. Do that, and then pour your next ingredient — and so on. With a scale you can get away with using nothing more than a bowl and one spoon. Professional chefs have long argued that there is nothing simple about a simple cup of flour. Nor is there anything fool proof in that cup of grated cheese, a half-cup of diced carrots or a tablespoon of butter. When you fill a measuring cup or spoon with any ingredient, the amount you get depends on a number of factors: how small you’ve sliced it, how tightly you’ve packed it in, how carefully you’ve scooped and whether you manage to get all of it out of the spoon. (Consider the mess of getting all the honey out of a tablespoon measure.) But when you weigh the same ingredients on a scale, none of these factors comes into play. Four ounces of flour (or cheese, carrots, honey or anything else) are 4 ounces, no matter who’s measuring, or how. Not only does a scale provide the most accurate measure, but also, as you get used it, you’ll notice it begin to change how you move about the kitchen. With a scale, you can get your ingredients together more quickly, and with less clean-up. Recipes that call for weights are also easier to halve, double or otherwise adapt. And the scale is handy for many other tasks Description: Type: Household Scales Material: plastic Power Supply: AAA Battery Accuracy: 1g Maximum Weight: 5kg kitchen scale Units: g/oz Function: Tare function/auto calibration Auto off: 30 sec. automatic power off Display: Digital backlit LCD display Power: 2×AAA alkaline batteries Dimension: 240*165*35mm Pan size: 15mm Colours: silver, white etc. Unit net weight: 425g.
