Product Information

The stainless-steel platforms not only offer a contemporary look, but are also hygienic and easy to clean. Lucy loves cooking and baking at home with her family, so has personal experience of putting a variety of kitchen utensils through their paces. Slim enough to stash in a drawer or small kitchen cupboard, the Salter Disc Electronic Scale has a large stainless steel platform that can accommodate a wide range of bowl sizes without restricting your view of the generous LCD display. It’s also incredibly easy to wipe down after use - handy for cleaning up the flour explosions and cake mix spatters created by overenthusiastic kids in the kitchen.

Not just for baking, our accurate digital kitchen scales are suited to weighing out liquids, pet treats, dry ingredients and much more. For precise measurements straight from a chef’s kitchen, our Heston Blumenthal Scales are highly accurate and allow you to weigh even the smallest ingredients with total confidence. For those who prefer things more traditional, look for our Mechanical Kitchen Scales, complete with large, easy to read dials and pointing needles. Other Scales in our range are designed for use with specific kitchen items, such as measuring bowls or plates. I've got the Joseph Joseph ‘foldy outy’ TriScale, and it's very good and tidies away neatly in a drawer. It's the first digital scale I've had that has outlasted its first battery.” (Reviewed by BridgetInHerBravery) Our verdict Along with all the standard features you’ll find in a good kitchen scale such as the add-and-weigh function (so several ingredients can be weighed in the same bowl), clear LCD display and auto shut-off function, these scales also have a built-in room thermometer - displaying the temperature from 0°C to 40°C. Key specs – Type of scales: Digital; Dimensions: 20.8 x 2.8 x 30cm, Maximum capacity: 10kg; Warranty: 15 yearsEach kitchen scale featured is made with top-quality materials and makes a great addition to your kitchen. We also considered factors such as ease of storage, maximum weight capacity and, of course, the accuracy of weighing results. The right scale for you will depend on your personal needs. For instance, if you like baking bread at home, you’ll want to find a scale that has both a high weighing capacity and the ability to measure smaller percentages should you need to adjust your recipe. However, if you’re after something a little prettier for your kitchen worktop, then a classic vintage-style scale might be what you’re after. The old-fashioned type that works a bit like a seesaw in that you pop the weights on one side and the ingredients in the bowl on the other, then wait for them to balance.

Not all of us are blessed with kitchens that have a copious amount of worktop space, which makes this cleverly designed scale by Joseph Joseph ideal for cooks who have more bijou kitchens or are somewhat limited on storage. It’s also a brand that Mumsnetters love, with high praise for everything from their chopping boards to their salt and pepper grinders. The larger platform can weigh up to 10kg, whilst the smaller platform can weigh up to 200g with 0.1g precision.

8. Best multi-purpose kitchen scales: Salter 1079 WHDR Digital Kitchen Scale

Here are the top five Heston Blumenthal kitchen gadgets that we’ve got our eyes on. TOP KITCHEN GADGETS BY HESTON BLUMENTHAL The Hanson H500 scales, which you may also see labelled as Terraillion, as the latter bought out the former some time ago, have a great retro feel. Their stylish exterior means you can display them on your work surface with pride, although they’re not so big that you can’t store them away. We like that the dial is bigger than on some of the other scales tested, showing both imperial and metric measurements. And, unlike some mechanical scales, the needle isn’t over-sensitive, hurtling forward the moment you add the tiniest amount. Many offer added extras, such as doubling up as a chopping board or allowing you to weigh both wet and dry ingredients. The only downsides? You’ll need batteries and the weight capacity is often more limited than with other scales types. Balance scales It’s another Salter scale, with a stand-out special function: it doubles up as a hygienic full-size glass chopping board (35 x 26cm), rendering it a veritable worktop space saver. Plus, it has a massive maximum weighing capacity of 15kg, so it’s a great one to have if you often find yourself cooking for a crowd. It makes it easy to weigh ingredients straight into even your largest mixing bowl, or heavier bowls attached to food processors. You can reset the dial to zero if you need to add more ingredients and there’s a decent maximum weight of 5kg. We also like the fact that the bowl is shallow, making it easier for pouring ingredients in, and that you can pop it in the dishwasher afterwards too.

Whilst it's only suitable for dry ingredients (not liquids), this reliable scale can measure at one-gram increments from weights as low as 2g through to a maximum of 5kg - making it ideal for everyday baking and cooking. The handy zero function tares the scale, so you can easily add additional ingredients to the same bowl and keep cleaning up to a minimum. They will last you forever with no need for batteries, but they are time-consuming and less accurate than more modern scales when it comes to minute amounts. Jug scales
