We broke down why a kitchen scale is a key piece of cooking gear and included recommendations for our favorite tested scales.
For basic clean-up, you can clean your scale just like you clean your counters. A quick wipe-down with a damp soapy sponge followed by a spray of food-safe sanitizer should be enough to recover from most projects. Most kitchen scales are relatively water-resistant, but avoid soaking your scale in liquid. Chef Johnson notes that his belovedtook a swim in the dish sink, but was restored to life after a 48-hour drying period with the batteries out.
If you start to notice a buildup of debris in the cracks and seams around buttons, spray your scale with a little cleaning product, and use a toothpick or cotton swab to remove sediment from the details. Some scales feature removable platforms that you can hand-wash separately in the sink. This is a great feature for when you’re weighing food out directly onto your scale’s surface like portioning bread dough into evenly-sized rolls.Some of the benefits of using a scale are lost when you measure in ounces instead of grams. All of those simple numbers and easy math? Gone when you're dealing with a quantity like one lb, 14.5 ounces.
An easy way to test the accuracy of your kitchen scale is to weigh the same item multiple times. It should register the same weight no matter the placement on the scale or amount of weight already on the scale. Zero your scale with something like a bowl on it. Scoot the bowl around the platform, take it off, put it back on. Your scale should stay at “0” at all times that the bowl is on the scale .
