Using a kitchen scale
Using the kitchen scale correctly is the most important skill in a ketogenic kitchen. Here is a step-by-step guide.
Step 1: Place and turn on
Place the scale on a flat, stable surface – not on a surface that vibrates or tilts. Turn on the scale and wait until it shows 0 grams.
Step 2: Place a container and press tare
Place a bowl, cup or plate on the scale. Press the tare button so that the scale resets and only shows the weight of the content you add, not the container.
Step 3: Add the ingredient
Add the ingredient slowly and read the weight when it is stable. If you pour too much, you can remove a little and weigh again, or adjust the calculation.
Step 4: Press tare between ingredients
Are you adding several ingredients to the same container? Press tare between each. Then the scale resets and you can weigh the next ingredient accurately without having to calculate differences.
