Can this scale "zero out", to compensate for the container being used to hold the material being measured?

I think so. I usually put my item directly on the sale, or I would weigh my container and subtract. I have noticed a negative number so it may have the function you are looking for.

Yes, this is referred to as the "tare" function on a scale, and you'll notice in the picture for this scale one of the buttons has a "T" on it which stands for tare. Just set the container on there (the cover for this scale works well for small amounts of measuring) then hit the "T" button on the right and you'll see the measurement reset to zero. Once you do this you have zeroed the scale out and can measure whatever you want without having to subtract. No need to power it on with the container already on as the tare function makes this method obsolete.

Yes, this items clear plastic lid doubles as a shallow, wide tray. my lid weighed perfect. ??. 72 evertime. gave it to a friend who loves the return in profit this scales accuracy gives him!

Yes! Power the scale on with the container on top of the scale and it will be zeroed out

No it does not. When you remove the item you are weighing it goes back to zero.

No, it won't. As soon as you remove the weight, the numbers are gone. The scale is still "on", but without any number.

Pretty firmly. I would be careful to balance in the bin the quantity of materials you are weighing. The bin comes off the stand so you can level things out really well before putting on the scale stand.

absolutely you can place a larger box on it and hold the reading. i do it often. Actually, I really love this scale...it's accurate and easy to use.

It probably would but the readings wouldn't be accurate. For example 1/4-1/2 would probably = empty. Also, the added weight would probably damage the gauge. Another option is buying a standard personal weight scale and subtracting the tanks weight when empty. Hope this helps.

Tare is zeroing out the scale. You set the tare every time you turn it on. You would use the tare if you are using this as a kitchen scale. Place your measuring cup/bowl on the scale press tare and it will return to zero disregarding the weight of the container. Then when you add your ingredients when it reads 12oz for example you will have 12oz in the container.

Yes - very convenient. You put the empty container on the scale and just push a button to go to zero. Then add the food.

Yes. For example, I put the plate on the scale then zero it out. If I remove the plate, the scale displays a negative number. I then repeat the process with each item I add--zero the current reading then add the next item. I hope this helps.

I suppose it could be used that way. Don't know that it would hold zero. Just have to try it and see if it holds.

The scale does not do well with small changes in weight. If you were to trickle you would need to tap the scale to give it a couple of grains of change before it will register a new value. I am not sure if its a sensitivity issue or I was just impatient with waiting for the screen to update. If you trickle you would need to lift the measuring pan up and set it back down again after you toss a little powder.

Yes. If you push the on/off button while weighing, it will "hold" the reading. Hope that helps.

I don't think that's necessary. The scale allows you to set to "zero" so the weight of the bowl is negated. When I tested the scale for my review, I used prepackaged items in my kitchen and allowed for slight variance and I found the scale to be within reasonable tolerances. Unless you're using it for another purpose than portion control or measuring in the kitchen I think you'll be fine.

It appears to be accurate and to hold the zero. As with any scale, be gentle placing the loaded tray back on the scale.

Each time it's turned on, it starts at zero for whatever unit of measure you have chosen. I haven't found this to be a problem and really like the scale.

Not sure what you are describing. To weigh something with a container.. I put the empty container on the scale TAP once on the left side "button" and it zeros out. Then add the ingredient amount needed to the container by weight. If you need to add a second ingredient by weight tap once again.. it will zero out.

Yes, you can place a container on the scale and then hit the "T" symbol and it will zero the scale so that all you're weighing are the contents that you add to the bowl.
