Kitchen weighing is the process of measuring the weight of ingredients used in cooking and baking. It helps ensure accuracy in recipes, leading to better results. Using a kitchen scale allows cooks to measure both solid and liquid ingredients, making it easier to follow precise measurements. There are two main types of kitchen scales: digital scales and mechanical scales. Digital scales provide a quick and easy readout, often with features like tare functions to subtract the weight of containers. Mechanical scales use a dial and are typically more durable but may require more effort to read accurately.
