Why a cup is not a unit of measurement
A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120 to 160 grams, depending on how packed it is and how firmly you filled it. In a cake recipe, that difference is the distance between light and rubbery.
In cooking it does not matter — one onion too many never ruined a dish. But baking is chemistry: the ratios of flour, liquid, fat and raising agent decide whether it rises or sinks.
Which is why every serious recipe gives grams, not cups.
The function you use every single time
Tare — the zero function. You put the bowl on, press zero, add flour, press zero again, add sugar. One bowl, all the ingredients, no extra washing up.
It sounds minor and it is the most useful feature in the category. Without it, you need a separate vessel for every ingredient.
What to check
Accuracy to one gram. Essential for yeast, baking powder and spices, where two grams change the outcome. Some scales only begin measuring from 5 grams upwards — useless for yeast.
Maximum weight. 5 kilos covers everything in a kitchen, even a turkey. Small 2-kilo models are enough for baking.
Liquid measurement. Many scales also read in millilitres for water and milk — convenient, but remember that oil and honey have a different density and the conversion does not apply to them.
Surface. Glass or stainless — cleaned with one wipe. And a practical note: a large platform means the bowl hides the display. Good models place the display at the front and clear of the platform.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I really need scales?
- For cooking, no. For baking and bread, yes — that is where ratios decide the result.
- What is tare?
- The zero function. It lets you weigh successive ingredients in the same bowl without accounting for the bowl’s weight.
- Does it measure liquids?
- Many read in millilitres for water and milk. For oil and honey the conversion does not apply, because their density differs.
- What accuracy should I ask for?
- One gram, so you can weigh yeast and baking powder. Some scales do not measure below 5 grams.
- Does it run on batteries?
- Most do, and they last a long time because they switch off automatically.
