Display & Automatic Shutoff
The display is normal sized clear black numbers on the usual gray background. A few people find the automatic shut off closes the display down a bit too fast once they have finished weighing or between their weighing of ingredients. Ways around this if you have any issues is to make sure you are using lightweight bowls rather than metal.
Are They Easy to Use?
They are really easy to use. You simply pop what you want to weigh on the scale. (if using the tare put the empty bowl on first to zero the scales). Then add your ingredients. You can also lock your ingredients amounts in if you want to. This way you know exactly how much of each ingredient you used and it is locked until you don’t need it.
Is there a Tare Function on These Scales?
Yes, there is a tare function so that you can add ingredients as you go. It is better to use lightweight or plastic bowls for this to be sure of accuracy.

These scales use a cr2032 lithium round flat battery. The batteries are easy to replace and are supplied. They are approximately £0.71 to £1.99 for new batteries (1 battery or a set of 4).
