Title: Precision scales
Post by: Peripatetic Phil on March 10, 2011, 05:29 PM

Someone recently commented that they were unable to weigh spices accurately, and whilst I'm not convinced that accurate weighing really has any place in BIR cuisine, for those that seek accuracy above all else these (http://www.maplin.co.uk/pocket-precision-scales-31124) may be the answer, or for those who will settle for nothing less than perfection, perhaps these (http://www.maplin.co.uk/high-precision-pocket-scales-49112).

The first link doesn't seem to work Phil.  I bought some great jewellers scales on eBay for ?20 or so.  They measure up to about 100g in 0.01 graduations.  Like you said, a bit OTT for measuring spices but handy in some situations.

Just re-checked, and both links continue to work for me.  If you would like the URL in full, I would be happy to include it in a follow-up.

Hi Phil,

The first link works again, first time it just took me to a search page on the Maplin website.  Just a weird glitch I guess.

Maybe it was out of stock the first time you tried !
