It is not necessary to think that kitchen scales are necessary to those hostesses who only learn to prepare and, without trusting own experience and intuition, strictly are guided by compounding. It's not true – they are necessary to those from them who, having felt taste to cookery, often cooks new, interesting dishes which analogs you will not meet in the Russian or European culinary tradition. Opportunity to precisely observe compounding will allow to receive identical and predictable result.
Instruction
1. When choosing kitchen scales pay attention to peak value of weight of products which is allowed to be weighed on this model of scales. Range is rather wide here – from 2 to 5 kg. If you do not prepare from large number of products and are not engaged in preparations for the winter, to you quite there will be enough scales with the maximum weight of 3 kg.
2. Also weight measurement accuracy these scales is important if you need to measure the weight of products with an accuracy of 1 gram, then choose those, which price of division of 1 grams.
3. On the design the scales are electronic and mechanical. Are convenient, but are less esthetic, spring, or mechanical, scales which operation principle is based on compression of measuring spring under the weight of products. Such scales are characterized by the wide range of weighing, independence of energy sources and low cost – they much cheaper electronic. Electronic scales more exact, are equipped with additional functions of automatic memory and possibility of calculation of calories in the weighed products. But weighing range at them is limited.
4. Kitchen scales can be chosen with the flat platform for weighing or with removable bowl. In bowl it is convenient to knead dough, nullifying indicators and adding the following ingredient according to compounding. But in it to weigh flat or volume products not really conveniently.
5. Modern kitchen scales have the most various design therefore to pick up them under registration of any kitchen of big will be not difficult. Some of them have wall fastening therefore can quite serve as element of kitchen interior.
6. Many scales are equipped with additional useful functions – possibility of determination of exact weight without container, consecutive weighing with zeroing of the previous result, the timer, automatic memory and so forth.
