Kitchen scale, as its name implies, is a tool for accurately measuring the amount of food raw materials used in cooking. The kitchen scale is made of ABS or AAS plastic and stainless steel. The electronic kitchen scale may also use tempered glass, which is generally used as the tray part of the kitchen scale for easy cleaning. Like general scales, kitchen scales are determined by electronic sensing or spring expansion. Comparatively speaking, the accuracy of electronic sensing is higher than that of spring metering.

Classification of kitchen scales:

1. divided by purpose: household kitchen scale and hotel kitchen scale.

2. according to the sensing points: electronic kitchen scale and mechanical kitchen scale.

3. According to food raw materials: kitchen scale measured by liquid and kitchen scale measured by quality meter.

4. Divided by food products: Western pastry kitchen scale and Chinese food kitchen scale

Knowing the classification of kitchen scales will help us choose the kitchen scales that suit us. General household kitchen scales need lower accuracy than hotel scales: Chinese-style scales need lower accuracy than Western pastry scales, and mechanical kitchen scales are generally divided into 1kg, 2kg,3kg and 5kg, while the minimum accuracy is 5g, which is suitable for occasions with lower accuracy requirements. Electronic kitchen scales generally have a weighing range of 5KG, and the minimum accuracy is 0.19. At present, two AA (5 No.5) dry batteries are widely used in the market. In the early days, the internal iron CR20324 button battery was gradually eliminated.

Generally speaking, an electronic has only one measuring range and precision, and the precision of different kitchen scales is relatively different, such as 5kg "1g, 7kg" 1g, 3kg 05g, 2kg "01g, 1kg" 02g, 500g "0.1g. You can choose the appropriate range and precision according to his requirements.
