A Guide To Buying Digital Kitchen Scales And What To Look For

Digital kitchen scales have many different features and many different price tags, so you need to have a think about what it is that you will be using them for. These scales are supposed to make cooking easier so choosing the correct scale to suit your needs is crucial. One feature might be important for one person but not so much for another. Everyone cooks differently so from that statement is would be plausible to suggest that everyone needs different instruments.

One feature to consider is the maximum weight that the scales can hold. This information will be displayed on the box or if you are browsing online then it will be displayed within the technical information area. This number will easily tell you if the scales you are looking at are appropriate for your needs.

For example you wouldn’t use the same scales to weigh a turkey and some flour for a cake. The weight limit is a key factor in the price of the scale the more weight the scale can hold the higher the cost of the item. Therefore if you are continually weighing light items then a smaller maximum weight limit will save you some money.

The next thing to look for is whether the scales come with a bowl. Sometimes this bowl can be removable and sometimes it is permanently attached. This is a purely personal preference and depends on how you like to cook, myself, I prefer to have a bowl that I can remove or none at all, I usually find it easier to use whatever I’m cooking in as it saves me transferring anything across. The advantage of the removable bowl is that the item becomes much easier to clean.

The next is a type of scale called an aquatronic, this type of scale allows for both liquid and dry foods to be weighed. The surfaces of these scales are usually made of glass to provide a not stick surface for the dry items, the additional advantage of this being that they are even easier to clean.

The Liquid items can be placed in the container of your choosing and then weighed but remember to weigh the container first, you don’t want to cut out some of the liquid.

Digital scales aren’t for everyone some people prefer to buy ready meals and some just don’t mind how it tastes. Digital scales are for the passionate cook who appreciates the time and effort that goes into cooking.

When preparing a whole fish for cooking…?

When preparing a whole fish for cooking, should you always scale it (scrape off the scales)?

I just pan fried a dressed rainbow trout that still had its scales on it, but the scales actually didn’t taste that bad.

Question again, should you always scale it, or is that just personal preference when getting it ready for cooking?

Look It is a personal thing
Plus it depends on the scale size…..Salmon and trout have very small scales that go crispy when fried.. I have often eaten them because it is impossible to scale them once they have been filleted

Personally I would scale all fish
I would also when cooking fish whole, score each side several times with a knife. This allows any flavourings and marinades to get right in and flavour the flesh and allows consistent cooking
