Kitchen Scales

Whether you’re cooking or baking, for good results your measurements must be correct. With many ingredients, measuring by volume can result in an extremely wide range of results depending on how loosely or densely the material is packed. Such a difference can ruin your recipe, because weight—not volume—is the only true determinant of how much to add of any ingredient.

For years professional chefs and bakers have weighed their ingredients rather than use a measuring cup. Today’s weighing tools are more accurate and capable than ever, and come in a variety of fun, vibrant colors.
