3. Traditional cast iron balance scales
Although heavy and clunky to store, these traditional scales are a joy to use. They have a funnel-scooped mixing bowl and come with a set of imperial weights and an acacia base to protect the worktop from scratches.
4. KitchenAid KQ908 glass kitchen scales
The rotating knob on these scales switches easily between grams, millilitres, pounds and fluid ounces. At just 5.26cm wide, it is easy to store, and can take up to 5kg.
5. TriScale digital kitchen scales
Incredibly compact and portable, these 5kg Joseph Joseph scales fold away. There is no compromise on functionality, with aquatronic measurements as well as metric and imperial and a clear LED display.
