Kitchen Scales - Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a kitchen scale is accurate?
Accuracy depends on high-quality sensors and proper calibration. Reliable scales should measure consistently across different weights. Look for digital scales that specify precision in grams or ounces, and always follow the manufacturer’s calibration instructions.
Why choose a digital scale instead of a manual one?
Digital scales provide quick and precise readings. They often include tare functions to subtract container weight, switch easily between units, and handle small ingredients with accuracy. Manual scales require more effort and rarely match digital precision.
Can kitchen scales measure very small amounts?
Yes, most digital scales measure as little as 1 gram, which is perfect for spices, baking, or portion control. Smaller increments ensure recipes turn out exactly as intended.
What units can I measure with a kitchen scale?
Modern digital scales allow measurements in grams, ounces, pounds, and millilitres. This flexibility makes it easy to follow recipes from New Zealand or overseas without conversion errors.
How should I maintain my kitchen scale?
Clean the scale with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid submerging electronics. Keep it on a flat surface for consistent readings and replace batteries as needed. Regular care ensures accurate measurements over time.
Are kitchen scales only for baking?
Not at all. They are ideal for measuring meat, vegetables, liquids, coffee beans, or any ingredient that requires precision. Scales help maintain consistency and reduce waste in everyday cooking.
What weight limit should I look for?
Scales typically handle between 5kg and 15kg. For everyday home cooking, 5kg is sufficient. For larger batches, choose a scale with a higher capacity.
Can I use a kitchen scale for dieting and portion control?
Absolutely. Digital scales are perfect for tracking portion sizes, controlling calories, and managing diet plans accurately.
Which brands are trusted in New Zealand?
Popular and reliable brands include OXO, Cuisena, Salter, and CDN. They combine durability, precision, and ease of use for both home and professional kitchens.
