Commercial Kitchen Scales: For Precision And Consistency
Precise product measurement is crucial to keeping your production on target. By accurately weighing ingredients with kitchen scales, you are able to maintain consistency in each meal you serve, make the most of the supply, and minimize food waste.
There are two types of commercial kitchen scales: digital and dial commercial kitchen scales. Both can weigh dry items and display the weight in grams, pounds, and pounds plus ounces. Digital scales also allow liquid measurement in fluid ounce and milliliter. There are dial and digital portion scales dedicated to portion control with some designed for specific products like ice cream. Hanging scales typically used for weighing fish and meats provide readouts at the eye level that both customers and staff can see. For those with a small space to work with, bench scales are the perfect solution. They can be pretty versatile with some units equipped with lift-off platforms and casters for mobility.
Dial vs. Digital Kitchen Scales
Dial kitchen scales use an indicator or pointer that moves to a specific number that represents the weight of the items. For accurate measurement, these units typically have a knob that allows you to reset the scale to zero before placing the items to be weighed. Digital scales simplify this task to a single button-push with the tare function. Digital kitchen scales are generally easier to use as they take much of the guesswork and minimize human errors by displaying the exact measurements on backlit displays.
Dial kitchen scales are typically equipped with a removable and easy-to-clean stainless steel bowl or plate where the ingredients are placed to be weighed. Their digital counterparts usually have a seamless flat surface, making them more compact and easy to store.
