Way to out yourself cooklet.
>>21489783 (OP)I own one. Never used it for food tho.
i use it for baking but you'd have to be an extremely soulless golem to use it for general cooking
A postal scale is a better buy, you can still get +-0.5g accuracy and a much higher weight limit. Kitchen scales max out around 10lbs.
Some have ranged sensitivity so you get 0.1g from 0-10lb, 1g from 10-50lb and 2-5g from 50-100lb.
And yes I'm mixing metric with imperial.
I use my food scale to weigh myself every morning, and I use my other scale to weigh my sandwiches. Anything less than 17 pounds doesn't even get through Phase 1.
I have two. <12lbs and >12lbs.
Smaller scale is used to prepare pourover coffee every day. Large scale for large meat, wheat and yours truly.
So many recipes have ingredients in grams I don't know how to cook new recipes or reduce proportions easily without the small scale.
Recipes are always repeatable using a scale.
Only use it cause I'm on a diet and for baking, no reason to use it if they're neither things you're interested in
>>21489803I know how it goes. gotten ripped off before and now i call my dealer out as soon as I weigh in on my scale. he needs to use my calibration weights and then it wouldn’t happen every week!!
>>21489783 (OP)I use a laboratory scale for baking, weighing .17g of yeast is hard without it.
