Gram Scale

As a rule, I measure everything by weight rather than volume for precision and consistency. It cuts down on time and the need to use various measuring tools, so a gram scale really makes things easier. It annoys me when a cookbook goes from gram weights to teaspoons to millilitres, so nearly everything in here is measured in weight. Digital scales are pretty cheap and last well, and it’s useful to have accurate gram scales for weighing small amounts of ingredients like spices or agar agar.
