The KitchenAid dual platform food scale is a high-performance solution for accurately measuring small quantities of food. Two different weighing surfaces weigh larger amounts up to 5000 grams in 1 gram increments (or 11 pounds in 0. 1 ounce increments), and smaller amounts of 500g/470ml in 0. 01 grams increments (or 16 ounces in 0. 001 ounce increments) for ingredients like yeast and spices. The dual platform design is ideal for ensuring total accuracy when baking from scratch. The two platforms of this ultra-precise scale can work together or independently - a dual reading backlit display shows both weights. Each weighing platform has a tare feature to zero out the weights of containers or reset the display in between ingredients. The stainless steel platforms are easy to clean - simply wipe them down with a damp cloth. Slim design stores easily.
