One Man And His Scales

If you’re one of those people who decides to use something other than your microwave whilst in the kitchen, and we seem to be a dying breed, you’ll know the importance of accurately weighing out ingredients. Whilst this might sound like the start of a monotone infomercial about the latest and greatest kitchen scales... it’s actually an example of just how worringly enthused I can become about kitchen gadgets. This isn’t a review, so I wont give you a link, but Google “Duronic KS1009” – just do it. It also occurs to me you might think I would work for Duronics, but that’s also not true. They wont even return my letters – yep, letters! Not obsessive fan emails – obsessive kitchen gadget fan snail mail letters!


Jokes about me being the One Hour Photo man of the culinary utensil world aside, having a slim kitchen scale that can accurately measure and re-measure multiple ingredients is a huge time and space saver. And just look at this model – class personifi... scalonified (where are you Websters? Don’t make me snail mail you too!). And it takes up to 5kg of ingredients – 5kg! The whole world disapproves, but forget them – the world of slimline kitchen scales want you to pursue morbid obeisity – they’re not standing in your way, they’re helping you, 5kgs of food at a time.


Probably not the most helpful overview, but a good indication of how much I like my new kitchen scales. Have a look, it’s a good way to spend $30 and get some stress out of your kitchen (especially if you’re a small apartment owner).
