For years, I’ve used electronic scales for baking and for weighing out the dog’s food. We have a lovely set of vintage scales that never get used because I only have Imperial weights to go with them. Most of the recipes I turn to use metric measures.
Our current electronic scales don’t suit our ‘country kitchen’ vibe, so they’re kept hidden out of the way. Our vintage scales sit on the counter-top… but never get used. The solution is to get myself some metric scale weights, and I’ve found three contenders.
Although they’re beautiful, the expensive set won’t suit the old fashioned looking scales; and at over £50, I’d want a 1kg weight for when I’m weighing out flour for bread. I really can’t decide between the other two – the hexagonal ones are suitably rustic and still have their original box. However, I love the design of the Robert Welch ones – they’re attractive and unusual. Which ones would you choose?
