Does this scale have a tare feature so that it can be reset to zero as more weight is added?

Yes, it does. This function is called "Tare". To use it, you press the T button (the right button).The weighing platform size is 2 1/8" x 2 3/4". The clear cover can be used as a "bowl". It is about 2 1/8" x 4 1/2".Edit: Added scale measurements.

Yes it does. This little beauty does a fine job for what I use it for, I have no complaints at all.

Yes, It has a tare key. Works well on very small items. Will store weight of item in memory,and then you can add to that amount. But remember the total capacity of this scale is 650g / 22.92oz. So it is limited.

yes, there is a Tare feature. As I noted in my review, items weighed have to be small or in small containers or hey won't fit on the scale in a way that allows you to use the buttons and view the screen. I bought it to weigh food and it's not so useful for that unless your meal is TINY.

Right on both counts, Connie. This scale does have a TARE button as well as a measuring tape which is a pull-out.

The scale is automatically calibrated to zero when the scale is turned on as long as it is on a flat level surface with nothing on the scale. If you are weighing items over and over again and somehow with nothing on it, it does not show zero, then you can hit the "tare" button and it will re-zero itself out.

Though I have not tried that, I am going to guess no. I believe that the total capacity of this scale is 15 lbs, so when you place an object on the scale and then press the button for the tare feature, all the scale has done is reset the readout to zero...but it is still registering the weight of the container because it is still carrying the weight of the container. In other words, if you need a scale that will handle more than 15 lbs including the container, go ahead and buy one that will handle more weight.

It does not, the scale will give you the wrong weight, it has to be on hard floors. Awesome scale, always gives me the right weight.

yes. just depress the tare button. it will then read zero. when you remove the empty bowl it shall read a negative weight. replace the bowl to get back to zero and when you add the silver grains you shall read a net weight which is the weight of the silver alone. bear in mind that silver is very dense like lead and gold almost, so you do not want to go over the gross capacity of the scale which would be the negative tare value combined with the positive net value for a total of 100.00 g on this model. now another thing to consider is wind and building movement. on a 1/100th g scale just be still for 3 seconds. on a 1/10,1000th g scale you must have an wind proof enclosure. be sure to turn off the boom box before you weigh. this is the best, most accurate, rugged scale of it's type which i have ever owned. right now i'm using it to trade $1000 usc / quart printer ink every day. are you using troy ounces or aravopoulos ounces for your silver? fickle $150 jeweler's scales have built in calculators, carat converters, etc.

When the scale turns on it normally zeros the reading. If you want to use a basket for strawberries for instance, you set the basket on the scale and tap zero which tares out the weight of the basket.

Yes it does. I just put a can with a spoon in it on the scale, zeroed it out, and then removed the spoon. The scale showed the weight of the spoon in a negative number with a minus sign. What a great idea, I will surely use this technique!

Unfortunately - no. It is so accurate because it is so sensitive. You need to find a flat place to keep it permanently - although it can be reset whenever you move it. It seems like a drag, but the other wonderful aspects of this scale far outweigh this one inconvenience.

Yes, you can remove the bowl without losing your tare (zero) setting as long as you don't turn off the scale or let the auto-off timeout elapse.

Yes, there is a switch on the bottom to change between lbs and kgs.Fery nice scale,thanks.

Not had this happen. Did you place the bowl on the scale first, then tare to reach 0, then add food? My experience has been, once tared the bowl is out of the weighing process. You can add and subtract food and it doesn't register a negative number.

No it does not. As soon as you remove the box or whatever you're weighing the scale resets back to 0.

Well put it on a sturdy flat surface. wobbly surfaces can cause subtle movement in the material being weighed, especially the surface plate. Once it is still it should settle to zero if it doesn't, then hit the tare action and that will re zero the scale. The directions should tell you on how to operate the tare function.

Yes. You can zero out this scale after it contains material and then when you remove material the weight shows negative.

Not that I know of but I like the auto shutoff as I forget to turn it off. This does have a longer on time then my old scale did.

Yes, the top of the scale open up, which I think is another way to weight items. It does not display anything. Product is as described and brand new.
