If you're a baker, you know that precise measurements mean everything. So much so, that expert bakers tell us ways to spoon flour into measuring cups in order to avoid compacting the flour and using too much. For smaller measurements, using methods like this are much more difficult, if not impossible. Using standard measuring spoons can result in too much or too little ingredients (like too much yeast or too little baking soda), completely changing the consistency of the finished product. This precision spoon scale by Admetior alleviates this problem by having a digital weight measurement built right into the handle.
Measuring up to 2.9 ounces, the spoon takes care of most of the smaller ingredients in baking recipes, and if used multiple times, can measure larger quantities too. It has two clear interchangeable spoon bowls with printed measurements, It also saves space, fitting into your utensil crock or drawer instead of requiring a space on the shelf.
The Admetior Precision Spoon Scale is available on Amazon for $19.99.
As I bake my favorite recipes, I am converting them to weight, I love the accuracy of it. Although this appeals to the geek in me, I doubt that I would use it on a regular basis.

Those bakery scales are quite expensive, costing upwards of about $500.00 or more!

Well, I just Googled them, and they ARE cheaper according to the weight limit that can be used. But those scales are for heavy mass production of baking by large volumes like in commercial bakerires and in professional baking schools.

AB converted me to using scales for baking and it makes a world of difference in the final product. I weight for everything now. Sure does appeal to my geek side too.
A better set of scales for the kitchen is one thing I need to invest in. Right now, the ones I'm using are some cheap ones that I use to use at my store to weigh out meal worms for the bluebirds. They only go up to 2-lbs.
