Kitchen Scales

Kitchen tools and gadgets, like kitchen scales, can provide more precise measurements when you’re cooking or preparing a meal. When it comes to accurate proportions, they’re very important in the cooking and baking world. When you measure ingredients for a recipe, it’s hard to know by volume exactly how much flour to use or how much of a vegetable you should chop up. Kitchen scales help guarantee you’re measuring with accuracy to ensure your dishes will consistently come out how you want them.

Even the most experienced baker relies on kitchen scales to help create masterpieces since they also convert measurements into imperial and metric units like grams, ounces, pounds and kilograms. At Staples, you can shop a wide range of multi-purpose food scales so you can master all recipes, old and new.

When you’re shopping for baking scales and other small kitchen appliances, it’s important to know how you will be using them. At Staples, you can find food scales with a variety of features, depending on what your cooking calls for. Kitchen scales typically measure items between 0.05 ounces and 12 pounds.

Many kitchen scales have a flat design so you can place food directly on the scale, while others have a bowl designed to hold food. Most modern scales are digital, which are a must-have as they're typically more accurate and slimmer than traditional analog scales. Many models have a tare function, which accounts for the weight of your measuring cup to weigh just the ingredients in the cup. Some units also have a conversion function, meaning you can switch from imperial to metric measuring, or vice versa. For those who prefer to watch the dial turn as they weigh their ingredients, you can shop for a retro analog kitchen scale.
