Featuring an extra-large, raised 1.5&#8243; LCD readout with a bright blue backlight.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the specific needs of your business, such as the average batch size and the delicacy of ingredients, is key in selecting the right scales to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seattletimes.com\/pacific-nw-magazine\/professional-cooks-weigh-in-on-why-a-kitchen-scale-is-a-better-measure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">accommodate your establishment and menu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Capacity<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to consider is scale capacity. The <strong>capacity of a commercial scale refers to the maximum weight it can accurately measure<\/strong>. Selecting the appropriate capacity is essential to avoid overloading the scale and compromising its accuracy. For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/restaurant-supplies-equipment\/taylor-precision-te10t-digital-10-lb-portion-scale-w--tower-readout-104119\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Digital Portion Control Scale with Tower Readout<\/a>, seen above, measures up to 10 lb. of dry ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To figure out what capacity your kitchen requires, consider the average batch size of the ingredients you typically weigh, allowing some buffer for occasional larger batches. For example, a pizzeria might require a high-capacity scale to weigh large quantities of dough, whereas a bakery might need a smaller capacity scale for precise measurements of ingredients like yeast or flavorings. Consider the maximum batch size you&#8217;ll be dealing with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Platform Size<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/restaurant-supplies-equipment\/taylor-precision-te400-digital-400-lb-receiving-scale-384965\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE400.jpg\" alt=\"TE400 receiving scale.\" class=\"wp-image-19587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE400.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE400-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE400-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE400-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE400-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Taylor Precision&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/restaurant-supplies-equipment\/taylor-precision-te400-digital-400-lb-receiving-scale-384965\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Receiving Scale with Steel Tread Plate Platform<\/a> accommodates 400 lb. of product from shipments and deliveries, perfect for the BoH. Featuring an <strong>oversized 12.25&#8243; x 12&#8243; platform<\/strong> with a 6-foot coiled cord.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The platform size should accommodate the size and weight of the items you typically weigh. <strong>A larger platform provides better stability and reduces the risk of items falling off during weighing<\/strong>. Consider the size of the containers and ingredients you&#8217;ll be weighing to ensure they fit comfortably on the platform. This is especially important because <strong>if your scale is not stable the readout will fluctuate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Readability\/Increments<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Readability refers to the smallest increment that the scale can display. For precise measurements of delicate ingredients, such as <strong>spices or herbs, a scale with high readability (e.g., 0.01 grams)<\/strong> is crucial. For larger items, like <strong>whole produce or meat cuts, a scale with larger increments<\/strong> (e.g., 0.1 ounces) will work nicely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, <strong>the higher the capacity, the less readability<\/strong>. Higher capacity scales may have larger increments, making them less suitable for precise measurements. For instance, a bulk ingredient scale in a busy restaurant might have a readability of 0.5 ounces, while a bakery scale might have a readability of 0.01 ounces for fine measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weighing Unit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Commercial scales typically support multiple weighing units, including <strong>ounces<\/strong>, <strong>pounds<\/strong>, <strong>kilograms<\/strong>, and <strong>grams<\/strong>. Choose a scale that offers the units you commonly use to avoid conversion errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Precision Technology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/restaurant-supplies-equipment\/request-a-quote\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE10CSW.jpg\" alt=\"TE10csw portion control scale.\" class=\"wp-image-19578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE10CSW.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE10CSW-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE10CSW-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE10CSW-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE10CSW-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/restaurant-supplies-equipment\/request-a-quote\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Waterproof Portion Control Scale<\/a> with 10 lb. capacity by Taylor Precision features Tare function, field recalibration, a low-battery indicator, overload indicator, and much more. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology has come a long way and scales are more user-friendly than ever. Here are some common features to look for when deciding on scales for your commercial kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tare Function<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This important function is a handy tool vital for both batch cooking and portioning. <strong>The Tare function allows operators to build their recipes right on the scale by setting the scale to zero with an empty container or ingredient already on the platform.<\/strong> This is often referred to as &#8220;zeroing out&#8221; or &#8220;zeroing the scale.&#8221; Zeroing out ensures that the weight of the container or ingredient already on the scale is not factored into the final measurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when preparing a cake batter, you can place the mixing bowl on the scale, Tare it to zero, add the flour, Tare it again, add the sugar, Tare it again, and so on. This simplifies the process and reduces the need for multiple measuring cups or bowls. And of course, fewer bowls means less cleanup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Calibration<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/restaurant-supplies-equipment\/taylor-precision-te11ft-11-lb-platform-digital-portion-control-scale-878980\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE11FT-2.jpg\" alt=\"TE11FT\" class=\"wp-image-19615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE11FT-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE11FT-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE11FT-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE11FT-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TE11FT-2-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/restaurant-supplies-equipment\/taylor-precision-te11ft-11-lb-platform-digital-portion-control-scale-878980\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Platform Digital Portion Control Scale <\/a>includes <strong>calibration features<\/strong> that allow for in\u2010field adjustment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Calibration is the process of adjusting a scale to ensure its accuracy<\/strong>. Regular calibration is essential to maintain the scale&#8217;s performance and prevent inaccurate measurements that could affect inventory control and profitability. Most commercial scales have a calibration feature that allows you to check and adjust the scale&#8217;s accuracy using certified weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Over\/Under Features<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you weigh the same item over and over again, such as hamburger patties, dough balls, or steaks, the Over\/Under feature will alert the operator if the portion they are weighing is over or under the weight required for the product.
