What does a kitchen scale do?

Kitchen scales ensure that ingredients are measured precisely so that your recipes are consistent and taste the same every time. Precise measurements are especially critical for basic ingredients such as flour, sugar and oil. Inaccurate measurements can lead to recipe failure and waste. Therefore, a kitchen scale is indispensable for accurate measurements in the kitchen.

A precision scale is indispensable in areas that require precise measurements, such as kitchenware, confectionery and pastry. In such recipes, even milligram and gram calculations can make a big difference. Accurate measurements in professional kitchens as well as in home use are essential to ensure that dishes do not lose their flavour and recipes are successfully implemented. Therefore, precise kitchen scale models provide great convenience. Kitchen scales are also useful for calculating the calorie and nutritional value of different food groups. This is especially important for dieters and those who want to eat healthy. Portion control of certain foods and consuming the right amount for a balanced diet becomes quite easy with a kitchen scale. Therefore, it enables you to achieve your health-related goals and better manage your nutrition.

The use of these tools also provides great convenience in preparation processes. For example, the balanced use of ingredients in your pastries can make a big difference in terms of both flavour and texture. At the same time, it speeds up your work in the kitchen and allows you to work in a more organised way. Especially in busy kitchens, practicality and speed are the keys to success and kitchen scales help you in this regard. It is very important to use the right amount of ingredients to apply your recipes correctly and to capture the same flavour every time. This can affect not only the flavour of the food, but also the texture, appearance and even the cooking time. Therefore, using a kitchen scale makes your cooking process more predictable and success guaranteed.

Kitchen scales of various types offer solutions for different needs. Digital kitchen scales, for example, provide high accuracy and you can easily switch between various units of measurement. Mechanical kitchen scales, on the other hand, offer a more traditional experience and are always ready to use as they do not require electricity or batteries. Whichever type you prefer, measuring cups and scales are very useful for those who love to cook. Another important use in the kitchen is measuring liquids. Many recipes require the correct amount of liquid ingredients and a kitchen scale is a great help in this regard. It provides the same accuracy in liquid measurements and allows you to easily measure in different units of measurement. In addition, tools such as funnels and mixing bowls for measuring also make the process more practical.

Kitchen scales suitable for areas of use

Kitchen scales usually consist of digital or mechanical models. Digital kitchen scales make it easy to determine the exact quantities of ingredients in recipes thanks to their precise measurements. This is especially important for jobs that require precise measurements, such as pastry and bakery products. Mechanical models, on the other hand, provide reliable use for many years with their classic construction and durability. Among the IKEA kitchen scales range, it is possible to find suitable models for every need. For example, kitchen scales with digital display allow you to make precise measurements, while making it possible to easily read the data on the display. Such scales are usually also capable of measuring liquids, making them even more versatile. Another advantage of digital kitchen scales is their low energy consumption and long-lasting battery life.

Mini kitchen scales, on the other hand, offer a practical use with their portability and compact dimensions. Thanks to its small dimensions, it can be easily stored in drawers or narrow spaces. It is also very simple to carry this type of scale to a picnic or other place. Mini kitchen scales are extremely suitable for users who want to save space and are of great benefit in small kitchens.

When used in combination with mixing bowls, kitchen scales can make your food preparation process much easier. This way you can be more organised in the kitchen and execute your recipes perfectly.

How to use a kitchen scale?

Using a kitchen scale is quite simple. Firstly, you need to place your kitchen scale on a smooth surface. A stable and flat surface will ensure that your weighing results are accurate. After placing your scale, zero the device. Usually this is done by pressing the "zero" or "scan" button on the scale. Zeroing removes the influence of previous measurements and gives you an accurate starting point.

You can start measuring by placing the material to be weighed directly on the scale or in a container. If you are measuring in a container, remember to zero the weight of the container first. This way, only the weight of the material in the container is calculated. You need to be careful when using a precision kitchen scale. Add ingredients slowly, making sure the scale is balanced each time. When adding ingredients, avoid shaking the scale, as this can add error to your measurements.

If you are using an electronic precision kitchen scale, there are often additional functions available. These can include switching between different units of measurement, an addition function and automatic switch-off. It is very convenient to use these functions when following a recipe using different units of measurement. If you are using a manual or mechanical scale, there is usually a dial or pointer mounted on it. On such scales, you should carefully monitor the reader indicators and check that the scale is properly zeroed. For those models that are not self-zeroing, you will need to perform the zeroing process manually. These types of scales are generally more durable and can be long-lasting with their battery-free construction.

Before using the scale, make sure that the scale is clean and working properly. Especially in electronic kitchen scale models, it is necessary to check the fullness of the batteries. Low battery can affect your weighing results. Also, make sure that the surface of the scale is clean and dry. A dirty or oily surface can reduce the accuracy of the scale. For electronic models, you can benefit from the full capacity of the scale by placing the scale on a flat and stable surface.

When working with a kitchen scale, take care not to exceed the capacity of the device. Exceeding the specified maximum capacity of your scale may disrupt the calibration of the device and shorten its life. In addition, excess weight can damage the electronic components. It will be more accurate to calculate the total weight gradually by weighing in parts, especially when making large weighings. In cases where precise weighing is required, you can achieve the most accurate result by repeatedly zeroing the scale. Zeroing the device between frequent measurements allows you to ensure precise and accurate weight every time. By calibrating the scale frequently and using it correctly, you can achieve long-lasting and reliable measurements. You can also use it together with preparation tools.

What should be considered when buying a kitchen scale?

There are several factors to consider when buying a kitchen scale. Firstly, the maximum capacity and precision of the scale should be considered. The capacity of the scale determines how much weight you can measure and this is very important for large families or professional use. For precision weighing kitchen requirements, high precision models should be preferred. These models can usually measure accurately on scales of 1 gram or less, which can make a big difference to recipes.

In addition, the ease of use of the scale is also an important criterion. Kitchen scales with digital display are generally easier to use and the results are readable. The durability and longevity of the scale is another important factor to consider. Scales made of durable materials can withstand intensive use and can be used for many years without any problems. Therefore, material quality and structural strength should also be evaluated.

The cleanability of the scale is also an important consideration. Hygiene is a high priority in the kitchen and therefore easy cleaning of the scale is critical. Smooth surfaces and removable parts facilitate the cleaning process. Digital kitchen scales in particular should be water resistant so that they are not damaged during cleaning. Another important point is the size and ease of storage. Small kitchen scale models save space and are ideal for kitchens with limited storage space.

What are the prices of kitchen scales?

Kitchen scales prices vary according to the brand, model and features they have. For example, precision kitchen scale models with digital display are usually in higher price ranges, while analogue or mechanical models can be more affordable. In addition, the scale's capacity, material quality and additional functions also have a direct impact on the price.

At IKEA, it is possible to find kitchen scales for every budget. For example, there are affordable options for those looking for a simple and convenient mini kitchen scale. On the other hand, models developed for more professional use and with high precision can be offered at higher prices. These models are ideal for users with particularly precise kitchen scale requirements.

Although high quality and durable models are usually a little more expensive, they can be more economical in the long run. Since such products can withstand intensive use and exhibit long-lasting performance, they can pay for the initial high price over time. Such investments make sense, especially for professional kitchens or large families who cook frequently.

Affordable options, on the other hand, are ideal for meeting basic needs and not breaking the bank. A simple but functional small kitchen scale can be enough for daily food preparation. Since such models are both lightweight and portable, they save space in the kitchen and offer a practical use.

When it comes to kitchen scales prices, aesthetic and design elements should also be considered. Especially scales designed in a style that will adapt to modern kitchen decoration are more preferred by users. IKEA offers kitchen scale models that appeal to every taste with their stylish and functional designs.
