Stalgast Scale 2.2 kg for Professional Kitchens

A digital weighing scale measures mass by converting the force of an object into an electrical signal. The load cell beneath the platform flexes under weight, changing its resistance. This change is read by the scale's electronics and translated into a precise digital reading on the display. The method ensures accuracy without moving parts, making it reliable for repeated use in a busy kitchen environment.

To use the scale, place it on a level worktop and insert the three AA batteries. Press the power button to turn it on; the LCD display will show zero. Place the item to be weighed on the platform. The display updates instantly, showing the weight in grams or kilograms. When finished, remove the item and switch off the scale to conserve battery life.

The scale is constructed with a white plastic housing, chosen for its resistance to moisture and ease of cleaning. The platform is smooth and flat, allowing for stable placement of bowls, containers, or ingredients directly on the surface. Its compact dimensions—140 mm deep, 205 mm wide, and 41 mm high—fit neatly on a worktop or shelf without taking up excessive space.

The LCD display provides clear, legible readings in all kitchen lighting conditions. The 1 g readability allows for precise measurement of small quantities, such as spices or baking ingredients, while the 2.2 kg maximum capacity accommodates larger items like portions of meat or vegetables. The scale operates on three AA batteries, eliminating the need for a power cord and allowing for flexible placement anywhere in the kitchen.

Cleaning is straightforward: wipe the platform and housing with a damp cloth to remove any residue. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or submerging the scale in water, as this could damage the electronics. The smooth surfaces and minimal crevices reduce the risk of food particles becoming trapped.
