Expert Review and Insights

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →
- Pro: The oversized, flat stainless steel platform is fantastic for accommodating large mixing bowls securely.
- Con: It lacks advanced features like price calculation, making it less suitable for direct retail use.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Deli, a bustling sandwich shop in York, needed to upgrade their prep station scales which were struggling to handle their bulk ingredient preparation. They were constantly having to weigh ingredients in multiple smaller batches, which was time-consuming and led to inconsistencies.
"The Weighstation scale immediately solved our batching problem. We can now weigh out a full 15kg of potato salad mix in one go, in one bowl. It's sturdy, reliable, and the big platform means nothing is precariously balanced. It just works, and that’s exactly what we need."
Robert Finch – Owner
By enabling single-batch weighing, the deli reduced its daily prep time for core fillings by over 20% and eliminated portioning errors.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always place the scale on a flat, level, and stable surface to ensure accurate readings.
- Before first use, ensure you remove any protective film from the stainless steel platform.
- Allow the scale to stabilise for a moment after turning it on before placing any items on it.
- If required, perform a quick calibration check with a known weight to confirm accuracy.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe the stainless steel platform with a damp cloth and mild detergent after each use.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals which can damage the surface.
- Never submerge the unit in water; it is a wipe-clean-only electronic device.
- Periodically check that the feet are clean and the scale is still level to maintain its accuracy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 'Tare' function do?
A: The Tare function allows you to reset the scale's display to zero, even with a container on it. This means you can measure only the ingredients you add, ignoring the weight of the bowl or plate.
Q: Is the stainless steel platform removable for cleaning?
A: On many models like this, the platform plate can be lifted off for easier and more thorough cleaning. However, the base unit should never be put in water.
Q: How do I ensure the readings are always accurate?
A: Always use the scale on a completely flat and level surface. Avoid placing it near vibrating equipment. If you suspect it's inaccurate, you can check it using a known weight.
Q: Can I weigh liquids with this scale?
A: Yes, you can weigh liquids by placing them in a suitable container. Use the Tare function to subtract the container's weight first for an accurate liquid measurement.
Q: What do the different units of measurement mean (e.g., kg, lb, oz)?
A: These are different systems for measuring weight. 'kg' stands for kilograms, 'lb' for pounds, and 'oz' for ounces. Most digital scales allow you to switch between these to suit your recipe or preference.
Q: Is this scale portable?
A: Weighing 2.8kg, it is relatively lightweight and compact, making it easy to move around the kitchen or between the prep area and stockroom as needed.
Q: How much weight can I put on it at once?
A: This model has a maximum 20kg capacity weighing scale. Overloading the scale can damage the internal sensors, so always stay within the stated limit.
Q: Why is a stainless steel platform better than plastic?
A: Stainless steel is more durable, resistant to scratches and staining, and non-porous. This makes it far more hygienic and easier to clean than plastic, which can harbour bacteria in scratches.

Ever tried to weigh flour in a heavy bowl and had to do mental gymnastics to subtract the bowl's weight? The 'Tare' function on this digital weighing scale for kitchen use solves that problem instantly. In simple terms, 'tare' zeroes the display, even when there's a weight on the platform. Think of it like pressing a reset button for your measurement.
Just place your empty bowl or container on the scale, press the 'Tare' button, and the display will go back to '0'. Now, you can add your ingredients and the scale will only show you the weight of the ingredients themselves—not the container. It's incredibly useful for recipes that require multiple ingredients in one bowl, as you can press 'tare' after each addition to weigh the next one accurately. It’s a simple feature that saves a huge amount of time and guarantees perfect portions.
