I bought a manual scale, because all the electric ones turn off automatically before i get a chance look how much it actually weighs and there is no easy way to subtract the weight of the plate. Also no super specific small batteries bs. Edit: it can do Tara but if it shuts itself off while i was measuring flour, now i have flour on a plate. How do i know how much the flour weighs minus the plate? That's my problem.
What electronic scale doesn't have a tare function?
You just need better digital scales. As much as I love analog stuff digital scales have just become so damn good analog can't compete for anything needing any kind of precision.
I own three gram scales for food prep...
All three have tare and use AAA batteries.
It sucks those aren't available with a tiny solar panel anymore
No I prefer my battery powered ones with the backlit screens. I agree the solar (light) cell ones are completely gone.
Your scale can't tare? For real? I've literally never seen a scale without it.
