The best kitchen scales tried and tested at home | gastroback

I put these kitchen scales through their paces with tests in my own kitchen. First up, I’ve weighed a 1/4 cup of granulated sugar to see if the scale measures it exact in both ounces and grams. Next, I tested for when I’m in a rush and accidentally hit tare too many times to see if the scale shuts off.

  • The retro scale has a shiny stainless steel exterior and a large, easy-to-read dial that shows both kilograms and pounds.
  • The controls aren’t always responsive, and there’s a bit of a lag before weights are displayed.
  • The built-in food-safe bowl is handy for bakers who want to precisely measure their ingredients, and then mix everything in the same bowl.
  • The 50-gram test started at 50.1 g and then, after five minutes, read 50.9 grams.
  • The interface is extremely simple with just two buttons—one to switch units of measurements, one to tare and power on or off.

It has a tare feature as well as a “hold feature” that continues to display the weight on the easy-to-read screen even after the item has been removed. It turned off automatically after 5 minutes, each and every time I tested it. This model from Cuisinart was slightly heavier and heftier than many of the other scales we tested.

Sur La Table Digital Glass Scale

A good digital scale will also come with rubber feet on the bottom, which should prevent the scale from moving around on the counter while you’re using it. Not every household needs a kitchen scale—the tool isn’t as essential as, say, stainless steel cookware or a quality knife set. If you’re looking to elevate your culinary skills, though, investing in one of the best kitchen scales is a solid first step. While measuring cups and spoons get the job done, weight-based measurements are more precise than volume-based ones, which is why professional chefs and bakers rely so heavily on scales. When making homemade bread or other finicky recipes, a few too many grams of one ingredient can throw everything off.

How to choose the best kitchen scales?

Most have an easy-to-read LCD display and a weighing platform for your food or ingredients. This Zwilling kitchen scale is our top pick for ease of use as it’s a very sleek kitchen scale with great features and a bright digital read-out. This modern scale comes in four different colors to match your kitchen’s aesthetic and has a seamless glass surface that is very easy to wipe clean. No need to install any batteries as this scale is powered by a rechargeable battery that comes with a micro USB charging cord.

Best Overall: Escali Primo Digital Food Scale

This kitchen scale, made exclusively for Sur la Table by Escali, has a sleek design and hits all the marks in terms of workability. It shouldn’t be moved even by the slightest bit while in use since that will change the level of the surface and affect how the scale is reading your ingredients. A handle at the back is designed to help you to carry it around the kitchen, but I’d argue you could just as easily pick it up without. I like it, because it’s easy, small, light and simple, and comes with a 15 year guarantee in the UK. This scale from Taylor was slightly less accurate than our winner, and the plastic cover over the buttons and display panel was a trap for bits of dough, flour, and the like. It was also the most difficult to clean of those in our most recent round of testing—the doughy mixture we let sit overnight was impossible to clean off without some pretty aggressive scrubbing and hot water.
