I have a digital kitchen scale. My bro. in law put a small magnet on it, and now its not measuring below 4g.. Is it ruined.. NOTE THIS is my first time using it, I got it for christmas.. help
The metal in the scale has probably been magnetized and thus there is a "new" force that is always acting between the plate and the body.
Can you "re-zero" the scale ?
You can de-magnitize things using Magnetic hysteresis.
"To demagnetize small-scale objects (dimensions less than 1 m) fabricated from ferromagnetic materials, it is standard practice to expose the object to a continuous ac applied magnetic field with a steadily decaying amplitude."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_hysteresis#Magnetic_hysteresis
http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/MagneticHysteresis/
That however is not very practical
If the plate is metal it is that part which has been the most magnetized and it is acting on the body of the scale.
I might suggest replacing the plate with some adhoc piece of aluminum or wood.
Or remove the metal body of the scale.
Note: its probably not as accurate anymore either.
You might check it using water. 1 milliliter of water weighs 1 gram
Or use pennies http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2002/MillicentOkereke.shtml
If you can't fix it at least you will know how far it is off.
Send me a note if something works.

I need to buy a digital kitchen scale. I really need it for now so i cant afford to buy online and wait for them to arrive at my home. Please tell me where I could get it in Sydney for around $30-35.

as an example, how much does a bag (£20) of £1 coins weigh?
same with all other coin denominations. if no-one knows can someone atleast pass me onto a website that gives this type of conversion ratio would be usefull.
thanks
thanks for the useless answers...
what i want to know is are they accurate enough to do so?
i know that kitchen scales, even digital ones are unlikely to weigh the mass of a single coin.
i'm doing this as a favour for a local charity because they can't afford proper coin scales. i don't actually have the bags or lose coinage with me here.
The kitchen scales would do a fair job - but it won't necessarily be accurate particularly for small numbers of the lighter coins.
You could find a "friendly" local bank to weigh the coins on their more accurate scales!
1p = 3.56g
2p = 7.12g
5p = 3.25g
10p = 6.5g
20p = 5g
50p = 8g
£1 = 9.5g
£2 = 12g

The best chefs know that great cooking requires measuring by weight, not volume. Enter the Digital Measuring Cup and Scale. An easy-to-read LCD screen has been integrated into the cup's handle and displays the weight of its contents.
Accurate to within an eighth of an ounce, the Digital Measuring Cup and Scale can easily switch between six different units of measurements. With only three buttons, it's easy to operate, but still incredibly powerful. Use the tare function to weigh multiple ingredients without ever emptying the cup. Switch between flour, sugar, milk, water, and oil modes and the Digital Measuring Cup and Scale automatically converts the weight to volume.
Scale capacity of 6.6 lbs.

A digital kitchen scale is a miniature version of these massive digital scales you will sometimes notice within the deli of your local supermarket. There's a flat space on the top where you can place your foods or ingredients, and this is sometimes created from stainless steel and is well removable for washing. In the front, you may notice a digital readout that will show the load of no matter is placed on it. Depending on your preference, the readout will show in ounces, grams, pounds or a mix of all 3, depending on the model.
digital kitchen scales use one thing referred to as a strain gauge. A strain gauge consistently distributes the load of whatever is placed on the top of it. This weight is then transferred to a load cell. As weight is applied to this load cell, it bends slightly, which changes the amount of electrical resistance running through it. The quantity of this electrical resistance is passed through a converter that changes it from analog to digital and sends it to a little microchip that is responsible for the numbers that seem on the LCD display.

Digital scales work with the use of a strain gauge load cell. Whereas analog scales use springs to point the load of an object, digital scales translate the force of a weight to an electrical signal. Its key components encompass a strain gauge, a device used to determine the strain of an object, and load cell sensor, an electronic device used to convert a force into an electrical signal. A load cell is additionally called a force transducer.
When an item is placed on the scale, the weight is initially evenly distributed. Below the flat tray of a digital scale you would possibly find, for example, four slightly raised pegs within the corners that serve to disseminate the force of the weight evenly. The mechanical style of the digital scale then applies the force of the load to at least one end of a load cell. As the weight is applied, that end of the load cell bends downwards.
A kitchen scale allows you to determine dry, liquid, or chopped ingredients in weight, instead of volume, for very correct recipes. Completely different types of kitchen scales will range in their capability, precision, display, size, platform, and unit.

Digital scales are used for various purposes like cooking, checking your weight etc. You have to remember certain important points in mind when you are planning to buy a digital scale. First of all see to it that you can read the numbers clearly in your digital reading.
If you are buying a bathroom digital instrument, make sure that you can stand on it properly and read out the numbers clearly. If you are thinking of purchasing a kitchen digital scales, make sure that you can read the numbers clearly when you place a large bowl or platter on top. While purchasing a kitchen digital material, make sure that the scale can weigh smaller and larger quantities accurately. If you are measuring pounds of flour and sugar, see to it that the digital instrument can handle that much weight. If you're using digital scale for smaller recipes, you won't need much range, but a scale that is accurate to a smaller unit of measurement.
If you are using kitchen digital metal to measure small quantities, make sure that it is accurate and precise. Check that digital materials can accurately measure small quantities i.e. 1 gram or 1.5 grams. For smaller recipes, the difference between 1 gram and 1.5 grams of cinnamon could make a big difference in the final product. A high level of accuracy in your digital scale means that if you measure the weight of ¼ cup of salt, and then measure the weight of a second ¼ cup of salt, both measurements will be the same. You should not purchase a digital scale that is inaccurate, because it will prevent you from precisely reproducing your recipes.
One benefit of this digital plate is it has the ability to tare. This will help you to measure several ingredients in the same container. When you tare a leaf, it considers what is already there to weigh nothing, and only weighs what is added. For example, if you have 5 grams of salt on the digital machine and tare it, the reading will be 0. If you add 3.5 grams of pepper in it, you will get a reading of 8.5 grams on the scale instead of 3.5 grams.
Finally, select a digital instruments that has units with which you are familiar or one that allows you to use a number of different units. If your recipe is in grams but your weighing machine only in ounces, you have to calculate it on your own. Keep all these things in mind, and you will find the digital material that is right for you. Other features like price and appearance are also important, do check those factors before buying.

Are you trying to find a new digital kitchen scale? There are tons of varieties to choose from, so how do you know which one is best for you? Are they all the same?
Absolutely not. There are tons of different models for different people, and this article will describe some of the most common models. In general, there are many major uses for digital scales; for example, they are useful for people who are keeping track of their calories, for people who are measuring ingredients, and for people who are cooking for large groups of people. For what purpose do you need a digital kitchen scale?
So what do you need to think about? First, the price. Scales can range from $20 to over $100, depending on the features you want. What's your budget?
Second, what do you need it for? Are you counting calories? If so, there are some excellent scales that have memory for exactly how much you are eating! For example, check out the EatSmart Digital Nutrition Scale which automatically figures out the nutritional information for your food portion and tracks exactly how much you've been eating! This feature comes at a cost, however. $69.99 from Amazon!
On the other hand, if you want a cheaper and more portable scale, check out the Escali Primo Digital Multifunctional Scale. This guy holds up to 11 pounds and is just about $25 bucks. Not too pricey, and it works great.
I hope that you are able to find the digital kitchen scale of your dreams! Make sure you pick one that will last long and do its job. You don't want to buy one that will break down quickly!

Food scales are increasingly becoming a staple in the home chef’s repertoire of home gadgets that make our lives easier. Many of the diets out there I see also seem to be recommending people weigh their food portions more regularly to better gauge appropriate calorie counts and portion sizes. So in timely fashion I recently came across a new addition to the scale space which I think is one of the best yet, the EatSmart Precision Pro digital kitchen scale.
While EatSmart is a relatively new entrant to the market, you can tell that this scale has been well thought out and designed. It has been designed specifically for home use, with an 11 pound capacity and large LCD screen, which is angled nicely for easy viewing. Additionally, the scale is compact but still features a nice size platform which I have been able to get even large mixing bowls onto comfortably. As with other scales on the market it also has a TARE feature, so adding multiple ingredients to a bowl is a snap.
Three features that I really like (and are really the selling points) are the rubber feet and four units of measurement.
EatSmart was smart enough to realize that kitchen counters often get sloppy in the baking/cooking process (if you are anything like me). They added five little rubber feel to keep everything securely anchored to the counter and avoid those costly spills. The scale also calculates in four separate units (grams, ounces, pounds and kilograms) and has the unit change button on top of the scale so you can change unit as you are working with it. Great! Lastly, the scale takes regular AAA batteries, which I can’t underestimate the importance of. Other scales I have tested came with lithium batteries which cost a small fortune to replace. Never making that mistake again.
Best of all, EatSmart has priced the scale at a very consumer friendly $25.05 through Amazon.com and has five color options to match your home décor.
