I very rarely bother with measuring my ingredients. A handful of this,
a pinch of that and a bit of experience are good enough. However, a
fuckup last night reminded me that I really do need to measure some
things, and the scales I have just aren't good enough.
They'll measure me a pound of X, four ounces of Y and six ounces of Z
just fine. And if I want to fill my oven with cake they'll go all the
way up to 8 pounds. But they're bugger all use when I need to fairly
accurately measure out an ounce. Especially when it *really* matters
that it's not an ounce and a half.
So, any recommendations for kitchen scales that will go up to - say -
5lb, in readable 0.5oz increments? It needs to be that accurate at
least over the first four ounces. If it loses resolution higher up the
scale I don't really mind.
Or in metric, 2kg in 10g increments.
I imagine that for that small a change to be readable it's gonna have to
use electrickery, which is annoying but I can live with it.
