This is a sturdy and essential kitchen product.It has a clearly vintage style and, for me, a familiar and easy to read distressed-look dial,with a scale which supports the robust efficiency of an utterly reliable appliance.It also looks attractive and in place in the kitchen work space. Every part is easily cleaned.The bowl is of stainless steel.The capacity is to an impressive maximum of 10kg (22lbs).There is an Add 'n' Weigh feature for easy weighing of multiple ingredients.
There is a trend away from the digital to the mechanical.
The product is both for the newbie and for the serious cook and baker.It does its job and looks good.It was designed to be for an industrial capacity, and will serve to scale.
A set of scales is arguably the thing you remember most from your grandmother’s kitchen, or a rolling pin!In my case, it was my Aunt Ada’s where she reigned supreme in her kitchen and produced such wondrous baked delights.Measurement was her thing.Not too much, and not too little of this and that, was of paramount importance to her.She may have had a set of scales of this quality I don’t recall the brand name all those many years ago.I was too young to notice.But the product has such a pedigree that generations of bakers will have successfully used KitchenCraft products.
It comes gift boxed, complete with a 5 year guarantee
I love the back story of a strong brand.A man called Thomas Plant founded a family business in 1850 that was to grow and flourish through to the present day ,although in 1996 it changed its name to KitchenCraft.It is now a market leader in homeware, kitchen products and accessories working within Lifetime Brands Inc.,a global organisation.
