Snowy Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I've just spotted some heavy duty scales in the Lakeland sale - they weigh up to 10kg. My current scales are OK, but they only do up to 5kg and they have started to stick a lot. Does anyone have the Lakeland ones, or is there a better brand I should be on the lookour for. Can't get the page to load now, but if you click on this link, the scales in question are at the bottom, left hand side. ***kitchen scales*** Ah, had to reset the router working again now. ***This one*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Not excatly a recommendation more of a thank you for the heads up, i popped over to York today and got the last one. (I checked it wasnt a store near you first ) They look fantastic, and from just playing with them for the last few minutes i would recommend them if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Ah, thanks for that! Although after I saw those, OH reminded me we needed a new house phone so had to buy that instead. Although when I think about it, these should be just as high a priority, don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Of course these are an absolute priority - perfect for weighing feed when worming Plus ... You can always make a call on your mobile - you cant weigh things on a phone can you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Oops, I had to spend a bit more to get free delivery - so some discounted 'Henrietta' goodies also fell into my basket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 You got one then? and of course, one always needs extra Henrietta essentials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Yep - I told OH that you said it was even more essential than new phones. There was a lot of going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I still love my old fashioned Salter Imperial scales, DD's and OH's (because they hate imperial pah, Europeans!) have a digital Salter one - which is not allowed in my kitchen unless it's being used and kept in the study when it isn't. My grandmother didn't have scales at all - she just used a tablespoon and counted out the required amount. Awesome cook she was and proves my point that you don't need to measure to the last molecule to make good food (for DD's benefit as she's looking over my shoulder).

Snowy Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 I like it Valk! Sadly I can't cook by intuition - I rely very heavily on recipes (although I am good at adapting them or substituting ingredients), but I'd be lost without my scales. They arrived a couple of days ago and are fabulous! The buttons on my salter digital scales have become so sticky that they don't press properly. The buttons on these have no gaps around them for stuff to get into, they are completely smooth so it can all be wiped off! I also ordered the henrietta batter jug and lasagne dish - they are fabulous and much bigger than I realised (which is a good thing, I was worried they would be too small to be of any practical use for a family of 5) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
