- Cons: It’s not government stamped, so it's purely for prep, not for selling by weight.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Flour Pot Bakery' in Brighton was struggling with inconsistent bake sizes due to their old, unreliable mechanical scales. They needed a simple, accurate, and portable digital solution that their entire team could use without extensive training.
"The Weighstation scales have been brilliant. They're dead simple to use, the tare function is a lifesaver, and we can trust the readings every single time. Our morning pastry batches have never been so consistent, which our regulars have definitely noticed."
Robert Davies – Head Baker
Since switching, the bakery has significantly reduced ingredient waste and reports a 20% improvement in product consistency across its entire range.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always place the scales on a completely flat, level, and stable surface for accurate readings.
- Unscrew the battery cover on the underside and insert one 3V CR2032 battery correctly.
- To weigh ingredients in a bowl, place the empty bowl on the scale first, then press the 'On/Tare' button to reset the display to zero.
- Press the 'Unit' button (if available) to cycle between metric (g) and imperial (oz/lb) measurements.
Keeping It Going
- Never submerge the scales in water. Simply wipe them clean with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid dropping the scales or overloading them beyond the 5kg maximum capacity, as this can damage the sensor.
- Remove the battery if you plan on storing the scales for an extended period to prevent drainage and corrosion.
- Store in a dry place away from extreme temperatures to protect the electronic components.

The Weighstation Promise: Accuracy in Every Pinch
In a commercial kitchen, consistency is not just a goal; it's the foundation of your reputation. The Weighstation GG017 isn't just a piece of equipment; it's your partner in quality control. While specs tell you what it does, they don't capture the long-term value of guaranteed accuracy. Think of the money saved by eliminating ingredient waste from mis-measured recipes, or the time saved with a simple, no-fuss tool that every member of your team can rely on. Weighstation specialises in creating dependable, workhorse tools that prioritise function over fluff.

It's the small investment that protects the quality of your entire menu.
Explore more from WeighstationWhat Does 'Non-Government Stamped' Mean for You?
You'll often see the term 'non-government stamped' or 'not legal for trade' on scales like these, and it's important to know what it means for your business. In short, it means these scales are designed for kitchen prep, not for selling goods directly to the public by weight.
Think of it like this: you'd use these electronic food scales for restaurants to perfectly measure 150g of flour for a cake recipe, ensuring it's perfect every time. However, you couldn't use them at a deli counter to weigh 150g of cheese to sell to a customer. For that, you need a government-stamped, 'legal for trade' scale, which has undergone official verification. These Weighstation GG017 scales are all about internal accuracy and consistency – the secret ingredients to great food.
Who Should Buy This?
- Cafés & Coffee Shops: Perfect for precisely portioning out coffee grounds for guest brews or weighing ingredients for cakes and pastries.
- Bakeries & Patisseries: Essential for the accurate measurement of flour, sugar, and yeast to ensure baking consistency every time.
- Restaurant Kitchens: Ideal for portion control of expensive ingredients like spices and truffles, or for standardising sauce recipes.
- Mobile Caterers & Food Stalls: Its battery power and lightweight design make it the perfect portable partner for events and markets.
