Measuring Cups & Kitchen Scales

They ensure accuracy in measuring items, which is essential for achieving consistent dish results.

They also provide convenience by allowing for the easy pouring of liquids or dry items.

They are universal and can be used for various recipes, making them essential tools in any kitchen.

• Glass is transparent and allows for easy reading of the measurement markings, making them ideal for use in front-of-house settings.
• Stainless steel is durable and long lasting, making them ideal for busy kitchens.
• Plastic is lightweight and shatterproof, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.

In restaurants, a measuring jug/cup can accurately weigh items ensuring consistency in the final product.

In bakeries, they are essential for precisely measuring dry and liquid items.

Measuring spoons and cups are also helpful for adding small elements to dishes.

Mechanical or analogue scales

These types of scales use a spring to measure the weight of the elements. They have a simple design and do not require batteries or electricity.

But, they are less precise than digital scales and can be harder to read.

Digital scales

These types of scales use electronic sensors to measure the weight of the components. They are more precise and easier to read than mechanical scales and usually are more reliable for chefs.

They usually come with additional features such as tare functions and automatic shut-off.

Balance scales

These types of scales have two plates that balance against each other. The elements are placed on one plate, and weights are placed on the other until the plates are level.

Balance scales can be more precise than different scales, but they require more skill.
