Hi Eleanor

You place your container on the scale and listen for it to announce the
weight.  Then you press the on/off button quickly, which gives you the tear
weight that takes the scale back to zero.  Then you add your contents to the
container.  You just do this for each container you wish to weigh.

Yes they are expensive, but they are good scales.  My chef, Martin, uses
Vivienne often and says it is very accurate.


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

Ninety-five pounds plus 9
95 postage is very expensive. How do the scales know the weight of the
container I use for measuring the food and if I then change to a different
container?

Hi Eleanor

No they are not large, just a flat scale with buttons on the front that you
can feel.  You can purchase them from Steve Nutt, or from S and S.

Where would I get it from Jackie and is it a large item?

Hi Eleanor

We use the Vivienne kitchen scales from Caretec.  They are definitely more
expensive, but very accurate.  The voice is pleasant, there is no bowl, so
you have more options in using your own weighing container.  It determines
whether you are weighing oil, milk or water, and has a timer plus time and
date facility.  Very nice scales, like most of the Caretec products. 


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

I am aware that RNIB sell two types.  Has anyone any experience of using
talking kitchen scales and which one do people on list prefer?
