You might have seen on TV or maybe at a friends house a little scale that is used to weigh out food. Professional bakers especially use a kitchen scale rather than measuring cups because it gives you an exact measurement instead of relying on measuring tools that differ from brand to brand. Even if you’re not on a professional level, a kitchen scale can replace a lot of things in your kitchen and can be super handy.
Measuring Cups
First of all, if you have liquids and dry ingredients, you can’t actually measure them in the same container because they’re calculated differently. But, if you have a kitchen scale, you can measure them both with the same instrument!
Also, measuring cups are always a hassle to store and clean, and with a kitchen scale, there’s no mess beside the bowl you put on top to hold the ingredients.
Savory
Kitchen scales are often used in baking, but it’s also great to use when it comes to savory foods as well! If you’re trying to portion out meat, cheese, and especially pasta for a dinner party and you want to make sure everyone gets a good portion, you can use the kitchen scale to weigh everything and take the guessing out of it.
