Hobby cooks do not want to go to one kitchen scalewithout. Whether a digital or analogue kitchen scale is chosen here is usually a question of personal taste. Because the analog scale in the kitchen shows just as accurate grams and kilos as her digital colleague. Far more important here are perhaps the design and the space in the kitchen itself. Because an analogue kitchen scale with its classic appearance is also a great eyecatcher.

That’s why you need an analogue kitchen scale!

At least since baking the cake, the scales have found their way into the kitchen. Here you have to work exactly, if various „cup recipes“ also produce a delicious cake. For a good yeast dough, an analog scale is needed. The Weighing and Measuring is not only the cake announced. The weight of a roast determines the cooking time in the oven, so that the meat is juicy and soft. Here in the kitchen is usually not worked with heavyweights, therefore, the display moves up to five kilograms. The layout is designed in a large, easy to read full-view scale, so even the smallest gram differences can be read.

Make the cake without or better with a kitchen scale?

Anyone who has ever tried to bake a cake without weighing the individual ingredients will probably have received a disastrous result. Estimating flour, butter and milk is simply very difficult. To put together the individual ingredients, a large bowl is necessary. In contrast to the digital scale, this is already included in an analog balance. The cake dough or the goulash can be filled here beautifully and in a classic design. This weighing bowl is removable and is easily cleaned after use. Then there are also other ingredients that are very easy to recognize thanks to a practical 20 gram display.

Kitchen scales from history

In former times so-called beam scales were used. Many may still know them: two bowls hung on the horizontal bar. A weight was placed in a dish, e.g. One kilo, the other shell was filled with the respective food until both shells hung in exactly the same height. Today’s analog scales are also characterized by a classic design. Inside, however, is a modern system for weighing food. High-quality materials that are easy to clean also play a key role here. In this point, the analog scale therefore also has a hygienic factor, the cleanliness in the kitchen.

This is what analogue kitchen scales look like

The example of Soehnle shows just how chic such a kitchen scale can look like. The model 65003 of the analog kitchen scales Silvia is kept in the named classic design. Simple stainless steel with easy-to-read scale and a carrying capacity of up to five kilos. Sufficient for a huge yeast cake or a good piece of beef. In addition to all its functionality, it also looks very decorative in the modern kitchen. However, in order not to burden the scales permanently, weighting through fruit in the weighing bowl is not suitable as a decorative object.

The Soehnle 65041 analogue kitchen scale is made with a crystal clear bowl made of practical plastic. The combination of matt silver and transparency goes very well with a discreet modern ambience. The simple version of an analogue kitchen scale is the Soehnle 65054 Culina. It is particularly suitable if the balance should disappear again after use in the kitchen cabinet.
