FAQs

Do I need a kitchen scale for baking?

Yes. Baking is chemistry — measuring by weight is far more accurate than cups or spoons, and UK recipes almost always use grams.

What accuracy should a kitchen scale have?

1g accuracy is fine for most baking. For coffee and spices, a 0.1g precision scale is worth having separately.

What features matter most in a kitchen scale?

Tare function, a flat easy-clean surface, and a clear display. Avoid scales with too many buttons — simple is better.
