About this product
Get every measurement spot on with this electronic kitchen scale from Salter. The sleek steel platform brings accuracy and precision to your cooking and baking, whether you're weighing flour for sourdough or portioning ingredients for meal prep. It's compact enough to tuck away in a drawer but practical enough to use every day, and it works with most bowls or containers so you can measure directly without the mess.
The 5kg capacity handles everything from delicate spices to bigger batches, with precise 1g graduations for accuracy you can trust. The add and weigh function lets you measure multiple ingredients in the same bowl without washing up between, and the liquid measuring function switches to millilitres when you need it. It converts between metric and imperial measurements at the touch of a button, and the clear LCD display makes reading results easy. It comes with a battery included and a 15-year manufacturer's guarantee for lasting reliability.

Purchased as a replacement when my original failed after 5 years of international hard use.

Alright electronic scales
It looks like the metal plate is separate from the outer casing however they're not - the whole upper surface moves together. This results in button-presses affecting the weight reading as the buttons are attached to the measuring surface. Using the tare function then becomes quite tricky. Really weird bad design choice. The tare does work, as does the on/off switch. I don't bother with imperial measurements. Not had it long so can't comment on battery life-span, can't comment on accuracy or precision either. It is however reasonably priced and straight forward to use. Knowing the back design I might have bought a different one.

Item returned
The tare function did not work properly, it wouldn’t reset to 0 but always showed a few grams so I returned the item and got a refund. Disappointing i

Hello Chris,
The supplier has advised the following for the Salter Electronic Scale with Steel Platform - Black:
"Yes, you can definitely save time and effort on washing up with the handy Add and Weigh function on your Salter scales. Simply place your bowl on the scale and press the Tare (Zero) button to set the display to zero. Then, add your first ingredient and note the weight. Next, press the Tare button again to reset the display to zero before adding your next ingredient. This way, you can weigh each ingredient directly into the same bowl without needing to wash it between additions."
Thank you for using Q&A.
