Kitchen and Hobby Scales

Kitchen and hobby scales are practical instruments for everyday weighing at home, in small bakeries, for coffee and for small craft work. Capacity and readability should be assessed together for recipe repeatability, portion control and small-part weighing.

These scales do not replace instruments designed for commercial sales or laboratory analysis. When the job is household or hobby scale, ease of use and adequate readability usually come first.

What to Consider When Choosing a Kitchen Scale

The weight range of the ingredients, the readability you need, pan size and battery operation are the main points. Extra functions such as liquid measure or unit conversion can help depending on the use.
