Scales

Catering Scales for Professional Kitchens

Catering scales and weighing equipment take over when your arms have had enough. You load a bowl, pick a capacity and let the platform weigh. The main choice is simple: size, accuracy, and what you actually weigh most days. Small scales mean constant batching. Very large scales look good, then sit half empty.

Digital scales handle general weighing, batching, portions. Mechanical scales suit heavier loads where you care about durability and repeat accuracy. Check the display size, power type, and how easy it is to clean when you are in a rush. Battery life is the bit people forget.

Trade Insight

Most scales work best when the platform is level. Uneven benches never really zero out properly. Match the scale to your heaviest load, not your lightest batch, and check batteries are easy to find. Clean while wet or dried food sets hard and you scrape for ages.
