Baker's Cales

Check eBay. Also, look at restaurant supply houses. We got ours at Cresco

but I know many other places have them. Be warned, a good set of bakers balance scales are not cheap. They are not designed for critical acuracy, but ruggedness. Bakers scale dough on them, which means they cut the dough to reduce the doughball's size on the scales. So, they have to be rugged. You just can't do that with digital scales.

restaurant supply stores or specialty kitchen stores for home cooks.

A good balance scale will run about $250 with weights and pan.

There is often a small adjustable weight on the scale arm to allow settings to 1/2 ounce.

They are very good for quick weighing of ingredients but may not be suitable for very small quantities.

Is there a reason (large quantity baking I assume) you want to use a balance scale instead of the digitals? I love my digital scale. You can get those on Amazon. I got mine at a wonderful hardware store.

switch from ounces to grams. Precise to 2-gram increments up to2 kilograms, then 5-gram increments up to 5 kilograms-Marylouise
