Full details
The Salter Kitchen Scale - 1056 BKDR is designed for home cooks and bakers seeking precision in their culinary creations. Its key benefit is the ability to accurately measure both solid and liquid ingredients, eliminating guesswork and ensuring recipe success. A potential caveat is its 5kg maximum capacity, which may be limiting for very large batches. This electronic kitchen scale features an easy-read LCD display, an 'Add & Weigh' function for multiple ingredients, and the unique Aquatronic feature for liquid measurements.
