Description 

We have looked at the various scales available on the market, and there are lots, to see which is most suited to the keen domestic baker. We, like many, have been frustrated with most scales that don't quite come up to the mark and came up with a list of features that a really good scale needs to have:

  1. A display that can be read while a large bowl sits on the top.
  2. Ability to weigh a decent amount - not limited to a couple of kg.
  3. Resolution to weigh to 1g (0.05oz) rather than many at 5g.
  4. Capability to work with Baker's Percentages (see our help for more on this)
  5. Robust, easy to clean

The My Weigh KD-8000 is the scale that we think answers all of these:  it is a scale for the serious user. With a backlit display, set forward, it is easy to read it with a large bowl on the platform. The My Weigh KD-8000 measures up to 8kg in 1g increments, more than enough capacity and resolution for kitchen baking requirements. It has a strong, stainless-steel platform which is removable for cleaning and comes with a cleanable display cover.

Best of all, it is the only scale in its class that offers BPF  (Baker's Percentage Function). This is the established way for bakers to weigh their ingredients in proportion to their main ingredient (flour). It is the preferred method for bakers since it eliminates awkward calculations or conversions as all ingredients are in proportion allowing you to decide how much dough you want to make with ease.

We think that the KD-8000 stands apart from other scales, and with a 30 year warranty, this, for the serious baker, this is the choice. Note that for UK  delivery, our prices include delivery.

Best scale I have used
This is simply the best scale I have used. They are very easy to use and capable of handling my largest bowl with ease. I think the mains adaptor is well worth having. I have had cheap battery powered scales fail in less than two years in the past and I am hoping this will prove to be a better investment.

Excellent scales for the serious home baker
I've properly put these scales to the test in the first week of owning them, producing 43 loaves last week from my home kitchen, and they've more than stood up to the challenge, they've excelled themselves! The platform is nice and large so is great for placing large bowls and containers on for weighing down (which has saved me a lot of extra washing up). It's also perfect for weighing out dough when dividing and is removable too, which makes washing the scales much easier. The bakers percentage function is useful; for me it comes into it's own when refreshing my sourdough starters. I keep a 125% hydration wheat starter, so as long as I add the flour first, all I need to do is press the percentage button, tare the scales, and add water until it hits 125. This is certainly easier than getting my calculator out every time I want to triple the starter. The display is nice and easy to read, and choosing the AC adapter is definitely worthwhile, batteries aren't cheap! Overall, this is an excellent scale, I wish I had invested in it earlier.
