Designed to look and function like old-fashioned kitchen scales, but with smart upgrades to improve performance, KitchenCraft’s vintage balancing scales are a modern reimagining of a timeless classic. Part of KitchenCraft’s nature-inspired Natural Elements collection, these weighing scales pair an authentic cast iron body with an acacia wood base. It’s a combination that’s as beautiful as it is useful. Cast iron is extremely robust, while acacia wood has stunning natural grain patterns that are unique to each piece. Looks aside, bakers will love the balance mechanism for its simplicity and accuracy. There are no bulky wires and no temperamental batteries: just a reliable, elegant weighing option that promises great results, bake after bake. Dimensions (with stand): 29.5 x 14.5 x 17.5 cm (11½ x 5½ x 7 inches) Scales and stand wipe clean Bowl is dishwasher safe The cast-iron body is a sturdy base for measuring out your baking essentials, as well as helping with the homely, vintage character. It’s a naturally balanced, striking statement piece, with a valuable collectible feel. A modern upgrade on the traditional design, the stunning acacia wood base provides a sturdy platform for enthusiastic bakers, as well as protecting delicate surfaces against marks from the iron. The distinct, highly unique grain gives this ageless product natural beauty, and functional charm. The large, traditional pear-shaped bowl is a real helping hand when baking, making it easy to scoop and pour ingredients. As it’s high quality stainless steel, it is highly resistant to rust and staining, and won’t transfer flavours between ingredients. These baking scales couldn’t be easier to use. Simply place your ingredients in the stainless steel scoop, and add weights gradually added to the other side until the two are level. And that’s it. There’s a reason why balance scales have been used for millennia. The mechanism is simple and reliable, with few moving parts to wear out, and no batteries to replace. Need to fine tune your scales? The mechanism is adjustable, with full instructions included, explaining how to do so. Know someone who loves baking, and adores vintage style? Treat them to these scales as a thoughtful gift! They come packed in a beautiful Natural Elements gift box. The scales comes without weights, giving you complete freedom when it comes to using metric or imperial units. Both sets are also available from the Naturals Collection, in cast and iron and polished metal, so you can bake and cook in the way that suits your style.

If the scales weight end haven’t moved or have dropped to bottom it’s not enough ingredients or too much ingredients. Hope this helps **Q: How do you calibrate the scales?** A: To make adjustments to the balance, unscrew the weight compartment located beneath the weights plate. Small ball bearings (weights) will already inside this compartment. An extra bag of these weights is provided for minor additional adjustments. **Q: Is the wooden stand removable, or attached to iron scales?** A: The wooden base is just a platform to sit the metal scale on. It is removable. The scales are great, just like my gran used to own **Q: Can you buy the bowl on its own** A: I have checked different sites for you but I can't find one for a replacement bowl ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love these! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 3 January 2023* Love these scales, they look great and they work well.
