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.

Home Use Scales

Escali’s Arti is a great example of innovation in the scale market. It features a smooth glass top and several exciting colors. This unique, battery-operated weighing station measures up to fifteen pounds (more capacity than most home-use kitchen scales) and displays measurement readouts that are bright, clear and half again larger than many other kitchen scales. Equipped with sensitive touch controls and tare feature, it measures in both liquid (fluid ounces and milliliters) as well as dry ingredients (grams, ounces, pounds and pounds with ounces). An automatic shut-off feature ensures long battery life. The Arti scale’s smooth glass top is easy to clean and attractive.
