A kitchen scale in a professional kitchen works in an environment that no household model would survive: it gets wet, it is splashed with grease and acid and it passes from hand to hand every day. That is why we supply models with a removable stainless steel pan, from 3 kg to 30 kg with divisions from 0.5 gram, from Baxtran and OHAUS.

Kitchen scales for catering and commercial kitchens
What to look for when choosing
Cleaning determines service life. A removable stainless steel pan can go in the dishwasher; a scale with a fixed pan and seams around it cannot. Taring in steps is what you do all day: bowl on the scale, zero, first ingredient, zero, second ingredient. Check that this takes a single key press. Division. For dough and spices you want gram accuracy; for portioning meat 5 grams is enough, and a finer instrument only settles more slowly. Rechargeable battery if the scale travels with the mise en place.
When verified
If you use it for cooking and portioning, verification is not required. If you sell by weight — a delicatessen charging per hundred grams — it is; in that case take a look at the retail scales, which are made for that purpose. We supply scales verified from the factory; the initial verification is carried out by the manufacturer. More about verification and calibration.

For larger quantities in the kitchen or storeroom, take a look at the bench scales; for checking portion weights, see the checkweighing scales.
What there is to choose from
The range runs from 3 kg to 30 kg. The finest readability is 500 mg. Which one you need depends on the smallest weight you still want to see: a scale that goes up to 30 kg reads more coarsely than one that stops at 3 kg.
Which brands
Here we carry Baxtran and Ohaus. These are brands we are a dealer for, and we are authorised by the manufacturer to repair and recalibrate their scales.
Verified or not
Of these 4 series, 1 can be supplied verified with the green M mark, 3 versions in total. You need that mark as soon as the weight determines what a customer pays. We supply scales verified from the factory; the initial verification is carried out by the manufacturer and re-verification is arranged through the manufacturer. See re-verification.
Maintenance, calibration and repair
What we sell, we also maintain. You can have a kitchen scale calibrated with a certificate or repaired with original parts by us. More under scale service.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a scale from this page verified?
Some of the series here can be supplied verified, with the green M mark. This is shown for each model under "Available verified"; we supply them verified from the factory, and re-verification is arranged through the manufacturer.
What weighing range do I need?
Take the heaviest item you will ever want to weigh and add the packaging or the pallet. A scale chosen with a much larger capacity reads more coarsely than necessary.
Can you also maintain the scale?
Yes. We are authorised by the manufacturer to repair and recalibrate, using original parts.
