Know before you buy
Yes, the illini Bamboo Kitchen Scale is designed to measure both wet and dry ingredients. It supports five different measurement units—grams, fluid ounces, ounces, milliliters, and pounds—so you can easily switch between solids and liquids.
The tare function allows you to zero out the weight of a container or bowl before adding your ingredients. Simply place your empty container on the scale, press the tare button, and the display will reset to zero so you only measure the weight of the food inside.
The bamboo surface is durable and attractive, but because it is a natural material, it should not be submerged in water. We recommend wiping it down with a damp cloth after each use to keep it clean and in good condition.
Yes, the scale features an automatic power-off function. This helps conserve the two AAA batteries included with your purchase by shutting the unit down when it is not in use.
This scale has a maximum weight capacity of 11 lbs. It also includes an overload indicator that will alert you if you exceed this limit.
