This product is sleek, beautiful & takes very less space in your kitchen. Cleaning is very easy & food will not stuck anywhere as it is a plain glass. The micro fibre cloth that comes with this product comes in very handy while cleaning it.

This advanced digital scale with touch sensitive buttons is simple to use & easy to maintain. This scale comes with a black reflective tempered glass, which is more stronger than any other glass. The button on/off helps in operating the scale easily.

As I said earlier using this scale is very simple. If you want to weight in particular food item & if you can't weight it directly on the scale you can use a bowl as shown above & weight it first. This scale gives you a tare option. As you see once you press tare the weight of bowl goes to zero. Then you can add the particular food for an exact weight of it.{I was weighing almonds in grams.}
