The kitchen scale or food scale is aβ↑‌ctually a simple weighing ₹ tool:

Save your time in cooking t  γ∞ime.

Improve the accuracy of baked♦β♣ foods.

Save time while washing dishes

In fact, eliminate the risk of using §¥raw materials before ε​↔∏you expect.

Since I started to cook γ$food, I have been using th¥≠e kitchen scale. Now I can't imaginε'e why every family in the Unit♣★‍ed States has a kitchen scale, no doφφ₹βubt; kitchen scale can weigh faster•★, easier, and more accura©®♦tely than a measurement. Save tim≤₹βe in cooking time

Just put your mixing bowl₹≠<★ on the kitchen scale ↑★and pour it into the i≠÷↕δngredients until you have enough qua±♥​¶ntity. Measuring 4 1/2©✔ cups of flour is a step instead of 5. ₽♠☆∑I poured some flour out≤> of the bag. For the next ing£π↓redient, just set the kitchen scale t&¶≈o zero, and you can measure it a$★εgain. Kitchen scales can increaseγ✘™π the likelihood of baked g§♠¥oods. Good kitchen scales are key ♥∑α£to cooking delicious foods, especially‍±≠ baked goods. Successful baking ₹→depends on using the c←​€×orrect ingredients so that che →mical changes occur as expec₩ ted. But the dry ingred ✔$§ients used in measuring cups are sur∏λprisingly inaccurate.

We found that when the "dip →€ $and sweep" method was u≈↔₩sed to measure the dry ingredients,←✘ ≥ different chefs might drop by as  ™∞₩much as 10% - a differ​ε&ence that in baking migh©€π<t mean a dense cake or a fluffy,✘φ"$ soft discrepancy, a★∑δ nd I weighed instead of me₽★asuring the dry ingredient↓∞s larger than a large ​≈spoon. If you do the same, we'll ∞₩‍αuse the same amount of flour in♦Ω the bread recipe, and the kitchen scal¥↕e makes it harder to keep track o ₩↑f the amount measured so far. When t​☆≤he phone rings, as you measure ≠π↕the three or four. Flour ≠≤₹♥cup, don't you hat↑× &e it? With proportions, you don&#≠‍39;t have to remember how →→&many measurements you need≈±™←, and I get nervous π☆every time someone enter₩γ♣≠s the kitchen when I measure, mβ∑✔∏aking sure I forget where I am and destσα'roy the dish. No more! Even ​πusing kitchen scale for a variety of ↔☆ingredients is difficul©​£©t to lose track, and it is impossi≤♥ ‍ble to weigh items separatelyλγ∏ in a bowl and put them in a mixing bo§δwl.

Why do cooks use kitc±≥∏hen scales?

Almost all American cookbooks £←show dry ingredients by volume ratλ≤≠αher than weight. Obviously,§δ± even most modern recipe writ₽→★ers and cooking school teach ♣®ers think that American cooks ₽★are too vague to use a kitcheσ≈☆‍n scale, which is also call↓∞↑ed a food scale. I attended a cook​✘ing course run by King Arthur f♦♦€lour in the kitchen scale of the&☆ course. The teacher tried to dry&★₽ the flour with a spoon and p↓₹ut it in a measuring cup. After Ω≤♣ class, I asked her why she diφ♠d not even mention the use of kitchen§¶​€ scales. "Oh, family c≥•'hefs will not use kitchenσ★σ scales." Have you ever tr÷ ied a course on weighin♦₹↔g ingredients of kitchen <↑scales? "No, family chefs will‌ε© use kitchen scales.&qu≥ γ∏ot;

Throughout my life, family chefs have e÷‌$mbraced more complex and expen→§sive equipment than kitchen scal∑↑es. Think of microwave ovens, and n♥ε≠eed to know which co£✔ntainers are "microwave oven λ≤₹safe". Or convection ovens, ‍₹≥✘which change the time aα≥nd temperature of mosδ♦₽t recipes. Even bread maker or$β ice cream maker! Of c↔♥ourse, people who know how to weighγ​↔® themselves on an electronic kitchen s≤뙣cale can learn to enjoy the benef​↔↔×its of weighing flour and icing×α® .

What kind of kitchen scale is it used?←¥' Depends on your habits.

For years, I used kit♥≤chen scales and pull ups. This is→≥"λ a joy. I travel with it to all pa∏→↑rts of the country and many activi✔↓>ties.

If your large mixing bowl blocks t≥"∏≠he display, pull it out of the base so δ$×±you can see it.

If you are using candα¥←lelight for cooking, please touch the☆≥ button to light up §≥↑↕the display.

On the other hand, I received a stα<↕£ylish and elegant kitc÷'‌hen scale. It is lightning fast, $÷‍™accurate and easy to re​>‌ad. Most importantly, the♦λ•Ω kitchen scale has a thin shape and "Ω‍≈a black glass top, sδ₽βo it's very beautiful and can ✘ be placed on the counter. Thi₹© s is the one I made with my TV&€' on the hot Italy cocoa bisc±×uit.

Food scales and kitc ‍↑≥hen scales display w₩$‍eight in grams or ounces, but kitchenβ÷✔ electronic scales a₩δ ←lso show pounds and kilograms. Bo$£★γth kitchen scales have a "tare$∏™φ" function, so you can≈♣←¥ measure one ingredient in a b♦λowl, reset the kitchen scale to zero, ☆‍Ωand measure the other wi₩<↕thout any mathematical calculation  ♣s.
