Scales

Professional kitchen scales are indispensable in the catering industry as well as for various food retailers. Kitchen scales guarantee high precision in measuring the food for a dish. They also ensure that the correct quantities are dispensed when selling meat and sausage products, salads and other dishes. The standard today is a digital kitchen scale, which makes it easy to read off the quantities. On this page, you can find out what you should consider when buying a scale, why digital kitchen scales have now replaced analog kitchen scales and interesting facts about buying kitchen scales.

Anyone planning to purchase a new kitchen scale can generally choose between analog and digital models. However, digital kitchen scales are now the standard in every modern restaurant. If you want to buy an accurate scale, you should therefore opt for digital technology. While analog scales only have lines that need to be estimated, digital kitchen scales display weights to the nearest gram or milligram. Precision kitchen scales show the weight in figures on the display. This is all the more important for recipes where the exact measurement of each ingredient is important.

Another advantage of digital kitchen scales is their compact size. Analog scales are often very large and bulky and therefore take up a lot of space. In addition, digital kitchen scales usually have a stainless steel weighing surface that is easy to clean.

If you want to buy kitchen scales for your catering business or food sales, then pay attention to certain functions and features. Below you will find compact sales advice on what you should consider when buying kitchen scales.

Finally, design also plays a decisive role in kitchen equipment. In our range, you will find high-quality kitchen scales that integrate harmoniously into the design of your interior.

If the kitchen scales are used commercially for the movement of goods, they must be verified. You can usually tell whether a scale is calibrated or not by the calibration seal, which is attached directly to the scale. The initial verification of the scales takes place before they are sold. So if you decide to buy a calibrated scale, you can work with it straight away. However, please note that the digital kitchen scales must be recalibrated regularly. As a rule, the calibration validity period for commercially used digital scales in Switzerland is 2 years. Verification is carried out either by the manufacturer or by the relevant verification office.

If you calibrate your kitchen scales, you can determine the accuracy using exact weights or calibration weights. Commercial scales must be regularly recalibrated by the calibration office or the manufacturer. If your kitchen scales are not subject to this calibration obligation, you can calibrate them yourself without professional weights.

Take a known foodstuff with a precisely measured weight. The net weight minus the packaging is usually indicated on the packaging. Coins are also suitable as calibration weights. For the calibration procedure, place the scales on a flat, hard surface that does not wobble. Digital kitchen scales usually have a calibration mode, which works slightly differently for each kitchen scale and is described in detail in the operating instructions supplied.
