What kitchen scales do chefs use?
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.
