Salter 1074 BKDR Electronic Digital Kitchen Scale, Max 5 Kg

Purchased these to replace a previous set of Salter Scales, which had become difficult to read, due to the indicator plastic cover becoming cloudy. These new scales are overall much better. They use standard AAA cells instead of a watchtype battery.. The weight indicator is now a surface read type in large letters, so is very easy to read. The only negative point is the gap around the weighing platform, which would be difficult to clean if you spill flour into it, although using the wide rimmed bowl should avoid this.
On unpacking the scale, the first job is to insert the batteries into the bottom of the scale. The indicator will then show the initial set-up taking place and eventually the scale will read Zero. Place the Bowl onto the Platform and press the Zero Button.
The scale will now read zero. Push the Unit Button and for every press the Scale will cycle through the various measurement types. You have choice to do accumulative weighing or by pressing zero between each item to do individual weighing. You can put any item on the scale to weigh fats etc, so you don’t contaminate the Platic Bowl. Don’t use sharp inside the Plastic Bowl or you will scratch it, and clean the Bowl using a Cloth and Soapy water. To turn the scale off, press the the Zero Button for about three seconds , the scale will turn off automatically if left with ingredients in it after about 3 minutes
So overall an excellent Kitchen Scale which hopefully will provide many years of Service.
