Weigh Gram Digital Pocket Scales 100g Per 0.1g Kitchen Scales Black 100g (Top-100)

Product Information

It’s pretty cheap and accurate, but it’s got a fairly short auto-off duration of just over two minutes—about 13 seconds shorter than our top pick. We timed the auto-off function at 2 minutes and 17 seconds, which is pretty average to slightly longer (by a few seconds) than the other scales we tested. For reference, one gram is less than a quarter teaspoon of salt, so the times when you’d need to measure out that little of an ingredient are few and far between. It was important for us to pick a winner with both a reasonable wait time before the auto shutoff and the ability to remember the weight of whatever is on the scale when it's turned back on.

They are expertly designed for easy and reliable use in laboratories, industrial environments, transportation and logistics, and retail settings. However, they generally offer less precision than other types of scales and may require frequent calibration. While most performed well, a few were off by as much as 20 grams, and one scale could not even complete the test, repeatedly timing out before all the salt was measured. Understanding the nuances of gram scales can increase the precision, reliability, and integrity of operations. This precision scale has a 12000 gram capacity and triple range resolutions for getting the accuracy you need.

Although it wasn’t the speediest scale we came across, the LB-3000 was far and away the most accurate of the five pocket scales we tested in 2018. That extra precision comes at a cost to size and capacity, however, and most people don’t need it, since measuring spoons are accurate enough for baking.

Our previous pocket scale pick, the American Weigh Scales AMW-SC-2KG Digital Pocket Scale, didn’t hold up over time. Though switching between metric and customary should be a similarly simple and accessible function, some scales require the use of a toggle switch beneath the unit, or even hidden inside it. The cable works as a keyboard emulator, sending over to the PC the numeric value corresponding to the weight reading. In the rapidly evolving landscape of industrial measurement technology, gram scales have diversified to meet an array of specialized needs. This precision balance has a 1500 gram capacity and triple range resolutions for getting the accuracy you need.Our winners had the longest delays before auto shutoff as well, and stable designs that prevented the scales from moving at the mere press of a button. They often failed to respond at all to our commands and we could see this thing get annoying real fast. But large, easy-to-read lettering and a vibrant backlit display are useless if you can't see the display under a large bowl.

Cookbook author Peter Reinhart told us that for years he has happily used a cheap food scale that offers only an on/off button and a tare feature. Home Retail Group Card Services Limited is registered in England (04007072) at 33 Holborn, London, United Kingdom, EC1N 2HT. The INEVIFIT Digital Kitchen Scale had even more trouble with heavier weights, underestimating the kilogram weight by 4 grams.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

The weights were tested multiple times on the centers of the scales as well as each corner, to ensure that accuracy wasn't dependent on where the weight was placed on the platform. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The OXO offers the best display, with a backlit option and high-contrast indicators, and it was the only model we tested that has battery life and maximum-weight indicators, saving you from the frustration of a dead scale mid-recipe or the risk of damaging the scale through accidental overloading.

In our tests it was one of the quickest and most accurate scales we tried, with one of the longest auto-off times we’ve seen. We found the Etekcity Digital Multifunction Food Kitchen Scale fairly small for an all-purpose kitchen scale. In our most recent tests, it struggled to read anything lighter than 2 grams and would slowly increase readings over time. According to Alton Brown, 1 cup of flour can equal anywhere from 4 to 6 ounces, depending on how you measure it, how old the flour is, the size of the bag, and the relative humidity.Many glass scales also lack a raised platform, making them harder to read when used with a large bowl. We’ve seen some models with removable platforms, which are convenient for cleaning, but they’re pretty rare. And it’s one of the very few scales in our test group that supports calibration (though you need to have a 5 kg lab weight or the equivalent). We recommend the My Weigh KD8000 for people who make a lot of bread or want to prepare large batches of food at once.
