Capacity and accuracy
Most home scales weigh up to 5 kilograms in 1 gram steps. Baking needs accuracy, so choose a scale with 1 gram resolution. If you weigh larger amounts, such as flour sacks, check the capacity. Test with a known weight such as a packet of sugar.
Tare function
Tare resets the display to zero with a bowl on the scale, so you weigh ingredients one after another in the same bowl. It is the most useful feature on a digital scale. Check that it works smoothly.
Units and display
Look for grams, kilograms, ounces and pounds, and millilitres for water. A large, backlit display helps. Choose a platform big enough for your bowls, usually 15 to 20 centimetres across.
Batteries and power
Most digital scales use AAA or coin batteries, or a rechargeable battery. Auto shut-off saves power. Carry a spare battery, and replace low batteries, which cause inaccurate readings.
Care and accuracy
Place the scale on a flat, hard surface, keep it dry and clean the platform with a damp cloth. Do not overload it. Re-check accuracy now and then against a known weight. Store it flat.
What to check before buying
- Resolution. 1 gram or better.
- Capacity. 5 kg or more.
- Tare and units. Easy to use.
- Warranty. Written.
Before you decide
Decide what you weigh: baking needs 1 gram accuracy, while general cooking can use a simple scale. Test the tare and the display in the shop, and keep a spare battery. A good scale pays for itself in better recipes.
