My new scale...

My new kitchen scale arrived yesterday, a Jennings CJ-600 with 600g capacity and 0.1g resolution. $70 total with electric adaptor, 500g calibration weight, and shipping.

Very nice, I've never owned a scale before other than my finger postal scale I use to weigh pot with. This new scale is accurate enough to weigh out coke, though 0.01g resolution is needed to weigh out single lines. But this is perfect for cooking, my first project is to activate my packet of Bahrain sourdough starter. Now I will have no problem with getting exact amounts of different flours (spooned flour weighs more than sifted, weight per volume differs between different types of flour), adding exactly the right amounts of salt, water, etc. All cups and teaspoons are banished and everything replaced with precise measurements in grams. It also makes me more aware of what I am eating, I can now measure out just the right amount of ingredient to get the desired calorie/fat/carb/etc. content.

A T.S. Eliot line comes to mind:

"I have measured my life out with coffee spoons."

.1 g, huh? Sweet. Does it take a while for the reading to settle on on value?

Did you purchase this scale online? And, if so, from where
