Where precision matters, these 0.01g scales make a real difference. They feature a useful maximum capacity of 500g / 16 oz, making them ideal for weighing out cooking and baking ingredients, such as flour, herbs and spices and you can use them for portion control if you're following a strict nutritional plan. Built-in tare functionality means you can easily zero the easy-read display. Place your container on the stainless steel tray and press the on / off button. The weighing sensor will discount its weight so you can measure only the added ingredients. It works for measuring multiple ingredients in the same bowl too. At just 5.5 x 5 cm (2 x 2 inches) in size and with an ultra-thin profile, these pocket scales are highly portable. The tray doubles up as a handy protective cover, keeping them safe in storage.
