That's interesting. Mind linking to it?
We've had a kitchen scale for about five years now, and I find myself becoming ever more dependent on it. They are just an amazing little piece of equipment that makes cooking so much easier.
And they do seem to die without warning, which is maddening.
I've started keeping more button cell batteries on hand exactly because of that situation.
- KMnO4 6y agoEven better, why not use a mechanical scale? Digital is sure easier to read (plus you get neat features like tare and unit conversion), but a plain old mechanical force measure doesn't require batteries at all.
- war1025 6y agoI haven't ever seen a mechanical kitchen scale that has any amount of capacity. And they also tend to be much larger and bulkier than a digital scale.
- stinos 6y agoI really liked that idea, but at the time when I was looking for a new scale none of the mechanical ones I encountered had the combination of a resolution of 1g or less (I also use it to weigh beans for espresso) and also able to weigh up to a couple of kg. Though maybe I just didn't look hard enough.
