SF-400 Digital Kitchen Scale 10 kg with Round Plate

The SF-400 is a slim digital kitchen scale with a round plate, for home cooks and bakers who want recipes to come out the same every time. It weighs from 1 g up to 10 kg, so there’s no more guessing with cups and katoris.

Three buttons do everything. On/Off starts it at zero, Mode switches between grams and ounces, and Tare clears the weight of your bowl. Small Zero and Tare marks on the screen show you which mode you’re in.

Why you’ll like it

• Accurate for cooking1 g steps up to 10 kg cover a pinch of yeast and a full bag of flour.

Using it for the first time

1. 1Open the cover underneath and fit 2 × AA batteries.
2. 2Place the scale on a flat, hard counter. A soft mat or a wobbly table gives wrong readings.
3. 3Press On/Off with the plate empty and wait for 0.
4. 4Put your bowl on, press Tare, and add the ingredient.

What to weigh with it

• Flour, sugar and butter for cakes and cookies
• Meat and chicken portions for the freezer, or a quick check of the weight from the butcher
• Rice and daal for an exact number of people
• Letters and small parcels before you send them

A kitchen scale also makes it easy to follow recipes written in grams, and to repeat a family favourite exactly the way it turned out last time.

Tip: let the reading settle for a second before you note it, and keep the total, bowl included, under 10 kg.
