Product Information

The add and weigh function also allows you to measure several ingredients at the same time in the same bowl, without losing track of what you’re doing. All our chosen scales were consistent in their measurements and all had their plus points, be it ease of storage, simple cleaning or the precise measurement of tiny amounts. For people who need to precisely measure coffee or other ingredients, we recommend the American Weigh Scales LB-3000 Compact Digital Scale.

They're a necessary tool for any serious cook as well, especially for determining ratios or servings. We’ve tested many scales since 2013, and in that time we’ve settled on a list of essential features to look for, extras that are nice to have, and qualities to avoid. Although it wasn’t the speediest scale we came across, the LB-3000 was far and away the most accurate of the five pocket scales we tested in 2018. And since you can measure all your ingredients into one mixing bowl—subtracting cups and spoons from the equation—using a scale also cuts down on dirty dishes. According to Alton Brown, 1 cup of flour can equal anywhere from 4 to 6 ounces, depending on how you measure it, how old the flour is, the size of the bag, and the relative humidity.

Then we timed how long each scale remained on with a weight on the platform before the auto-off function kicked in.

Smart” functionality: Most “smart” scales can connect via Bluetooth to an app on your phone or tablet. This is what you want if you’re brewing coffee, for example, where espresso or single-serving pour-over brews often require precise measurements to the decimal. Glasses and other items have no restrictions but please be aware these are packaged very well to avoid breakages, so postage can be high. Most of the digital scales that we offer are pretty small and could be classed as a pocket or portable scale. Conjuring up images of granny making apple pie in the Aga, they are sure to tempt you into creating your own culinary delights, particularly as they have useful modern twists such as a dishwasher-safe bowl which is a handy large size in case you need to cook for the whole family.Pushing the tare button resets the scale to zero, allowing you to weigh different ingredients in the same vessel without having to do any math. Like the Salter set above, we felt the display screen was a little small and, again, they’re not backlit, which hinders them further. Although the makers claim it weighs from zero to 5kg in 1g increments, in our test it failed to register any weight under 2 grams. It’s compact enough to slide away in the drawer unnoticed or if you prefer to keep it out, it takes up very little space on your counter.
