Electronic scales for the kitchen: the pros and cons

What can electronic scales for the kitchen

1. Measure the weight of food accuratelyKitchen scales Unlike the old mechanical onesmodels, where the division price was equal to 50-100 g, electronic scales are capable of measuring with an accuracy of up to a gram both 5 kg of currants for jam and a pinch of spices for sauce. Electronic models cost from 700 rubles, they work on batteries or accumulators. The only downside is the maximum allowable weight for measurement is 5 kg. But this is not a problem - many models have a weight summation function, so you can easily weigh fruits and vegetables in several stages. As a rule, with careful handling, high-quality scales serve their owner for up to 10 years. When choosing scales, pay attention to:

the numbers on the display - they should be large;
"touch" buttons are better than regular "push" buttons
manufacturing material - food grade plastic, fireproof glass or stainless steel - any of these materials must have a sanitary and hygienic certificate;
warranty period - minimum - 1 year, but better - 3 or 5 years;
bowl - it should be removable, have divisions and a spout for working with bulk and liquid products.

2.Change the unit of measurement This function will be appreciated by those who like to cook according to foreign recipes and cookbooks, where the weight of ingredients is indicated in ounces or pounds. Just select the required measurement system in the menu. 3. Zero the weight of dishes Some models of scales can zero the weight of the dishes in which you put the products, so you do not have to put them directly on the scale pan. 4. Zero the weight of products Another useful function - zeroing the weight of products - is very convenient when kneading dough or minced meat. Put one ingredient in the dish - weigh it, zero it - add another - weigh it, zero it - and so on, until you get a mixture that exactly matches the recipe. 5. Work as a clock and alarm clock Not quite "kitchen" function, but as a free app - why not. And some particularly sophisticated models are also capable of measuring the air temperature in the room.
