KitchenAid KQ909 Dual Platform Digital Kitchen and Food Scale, 11 pound capacity and Precision 16oz capacity, Black with Stainless Steel

Like most Kitchen Aid products, this is high quality and looks great. The dual scale is brilliant for measuring small amounts like 7g of yeast when making bread for example. Overall an excellent purchase.

Perfect Easy to use

Je cherchais une balance de cuisine a la Foix réactif et très précise. Cette balance en a toute les qualités. Malheureusement , mon exemplaire est arrivé très bien protégé , mais avec quelques rayures impossibles a enlever. A part cela, cette balance est vraiment parfaite , possédant une double pesées, dont une , précise au dixième de gramme pré. Avec mes remerciements.

I like that these scales take AAA batteries instead of the silver flat batteries that don’t seem to last very long. The display is very easy to read. I’m happy with my purchase even though they are on the expensive side, but I’m hoping the scales last me many years.

My relationship with kitchen scales has been a journey. I started with a basic digital one, which was fine for measuring flour by the cup (converted to grams, because I was trying to be fancy). Then I got into baking, real baking, the kind that requires measuring yeast in amounts smaller than a sneeze. My old scale just laughed at me, displaying a defiant "0g" until I'd dumped in enough yeast to leaven a small car. Clearly, I needed more precision. And maybe a little more capacity for when I decided to make a truly epic batch of cookies. That's when the KitchenAid Dual Platform Digital Kitchen and Food Scale entered my life. I saw the two platforms and immediately thought, "It's a scale with a buddy!" The large platform handles the heavy lifting – flour, sugar, that giant bowl of dough. It's got capacity for days (up to 11 pounds!). But the real star, for my baking needs anyway, is the smaller, precision platform. This thing measures in tiny increments, perfect for those microscopic amounts of yeast, salt, or spices that make all the difference. It's like having a regular scale and a jeweler's scale had a very useful baby. Using them together is where the magic happens. The dual display shows both weights at the same time. I can be measuring flour for the main dough on the big side and simultaneously portioning out a minuscule amount of fancy sea salt for a topping on the small side. I feel like a mad scientist in a culinary lab, meticulously weighing out ingredients with pinpoint accuracy. My cat is probably wondering why I'm suddenly so focused on small piles of white powder. The tare function works flawlessly on both platforms, which is essential for adding multiple ingredients to the same bowl without doing complicated math (my brain is not a calculator, especially before tea). The scale itself is sleek and doesn't take up too much counter space, which is a minor miracle in my crowded kitchen. If you're tired of your scale ignoring tiny, crucial ingredients, if you need capacity for larger batches but precision for delicate measurements, and you enjoy the feeling of having a highly capable kitchen sidekick, this dual platform scale is fantastic. It's well-made, incredibly accurate, and has made my baking (and general cooking) much more consistent and less prone to accidental ingredient avalanches. My baked goods are happier, and so is my sanity. I'm thoroughly impressed with this two-in-one wonder.
