With more and more people being diagnosed with weight related health conditions, it has never been more important to be aware of both what you are consuming as well as how much. Digital food weight scales are a very worthwhile investment if you are trying to loose weight, maintain your weight or even to simply monitor how much of various types of foods you are consuming.
Digital food weight scales are generally not expensive, especially if you stay away from the commercial models that are designed to be used in a restaurant or bakery. Home digital food weight scales are typically going to be priced at well under one hundred dollars, with many durable, lightweight and highly accurate scales priced well below that mark. There are more expensive models as well, with some digital food weight scales providing nutritional information on foods as well as a simple weight read out.
Anyone can use digital food weight scales since they are literally like reading a digital clock. The food is placed in a basket, bowl or flat plate like device which is then read by the scale. Most scales read out in LED display format, either as decimals or in fractions. In addition some scales may even convert from metric to standard weights, ideal for those using recipes from different countries or even for those following diets that may interchange metric and standard measures.
Good quality digital food weight scales will be stainless steel or durable plastic, designed to be practical to use as well as easy to clean. Removable plates or baskets over the scale does make for easier cleaning since the surface area is simple to run through a dishwasher when necessary. If the plate or basket cannot be removed, avoid grooved or textured surfaces that may make cleaning more challenging.
Another important feature to look for in digital food weight scales is if they can be balanced with each measurement. This feature, known as tare, allows the user to measure multiple things into the same bowl without constantly having to empty the contents. The first ingredient is place in the bowl or on the plate, measured then the scale is zeroed by pushing the tare button. The next ingredient is added and so on. This not only saves time but also saves possible spills and accidents in transferring ingredients.
Some of the more deluxe models of digital food weight scales have a lot of extra features that are incredibly useful in the kitchen. These features include kitchen timers, clocks and even thermometers. In addition many of the scales also feature an automatic shut off to save battery life when the scale is not in use. These may shut off just the scale function, allowing the scale to be used continually as a timer and kitchen clock.
Using a scale to weight food has never been easier. Digital food weight scales are essential for those that are learning portion control or that just want to ensure they are eating the right amounts of the foods that are good for them.
