5 and 11 pound (2 and 5 kilogram) scales are fashionable for pantry use. They have 1 ounce (or 20 or 25 grams) as the smallest reading on the dial. For the infrequent causes while a heavier weight absences to be weighed, a lavatory scale can be secondhand.
Recipes that catalogue all factors by weight will be less affected by low accuracy, as all elements will still have alike relative proportions.
Kitchen Scale Dials and Scales
A decent mechanical kitchen scale (sometimes shrieked analog scales or spring scales) can last for decades [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], yet costs merely 10 to 30 greenbacks. While less accurate and less accurate than digital electronic weighing machines, they are "nice enough" for maximum cooking use and will never suffer from a dead power cell at an inconvenient time.
If lofty precision is required, a digital electronic scale should be used instead.
Mechanical scales are linear in approximation. What you look is what you obtain. Popular brands comprise Salter, Taylor, Typhoon and Escali.
Precision of more than 1 ounce can be acquired by estimating the position of the arrow needle between the scale markings. Half or quarter ounce readings can be estimated.

A current scale should be tested to retard namely the zero function has ample plus/minus "play" on either sides of the zero position to correct for any hereafter errors. Some badly constructed scales cannot be zeroed eve
If no standard weights are accessible, bottled water (ore water) can be weighed as a rough test. The weight of the plastic decanter is insignificant compared to the accuracy of a mechanical scale, therefore it can be ignored.
The larger the display dial, the easier it ambition be to read small changes in weight. Most dials are perpendicular circles [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], like a timer. Some are smooth curtate wheels that see like portly frisbees.
Some digital scales have annoying quirks:

How to Test Mechanical Scale Accuracy
Horizontal wheels are shorter and more crowded, and constantly have a tare feature (annotated below). However they can be blocked from outlook whether a large panel is placed on the scale.
Mechanical scales have a naught function. A knob namely tangled to turn the needle to the zero location aboard the turntable. This adjusts as temperature alterations and wastage of traction for the measuring spring ages.
Perhaps more major is consistency. The scale should all give the same reading for the same thing, no matter what the error. The thing creature weighed should be placed at the centre of the weighing bowl or platform. Placing it at the side can give a alter reading.
Precision (resolution) is no the same as accuracy. A scale might precisely signify an item as weighing 2 pounds 6 ounces, but could be off (inexact) by 5 ounces.
Dials should display both pounds/ounces and kilograms/grams. This is serviceable when exotic recipes are used. Fluid ounce calculations are useful but rare. However also many dimensions can make the dial confusing to read.
Mechanical Scale Precision and Maximum Weight
A mechanical scale should be tested for accuracy (using criterion weights) before it is purchased. 5 to 10 percent accuracy should be accurate enough for kitchen use [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when weighing at approximately half the maximum scale weight.
