I may have missed this somewhere but does this scale do "tare"? (Zeroing out the bowl.)

Yes it does, bottom right button. As a matter of fact it will auto tare the weight to whatever is sitting on the scale when you turn it on. Excellent scale been using mine for about a year now with zero issues.

It appears that calibration is not required on all of the scales. However, even trying to calibrate the scale still didn't work for me. I did like the fact that it had a bowl on top and the proposed functionality but I wasn't able to get that far.

Thank you for asking, I did not notice that there are two different scales. So yes: it has 1 liquid level scale for brown rice and another one, on the opposite side of bowl, called 'other rice'.

The short answer is "yes." You simply put the measuring container (plate, cup, jar, whatever) on the scale and press the On/Off button. It immediately zeros the scale. You can then add the item to be weighed to the measuring container and the readout will display the weight of that item without having to subtract the weight of the container. Easy peasy! Apparently not everyone is aware of the tare function of this device -- hence some of the confusing answers.

I usually reset the scale for each food weighed. but no, once the item is removed, it quickly goes back to zero

Yes, just put it on the scale and hit the tare button and the scale will zero with the "weigh-boat" on it. Then you will know the exact weight of what you put in it. Very pleased with my scale!

You can not turn it of however, once you take item of scale hit the on/tare button. That will reset it to zero.

It's easy! You'll notice that below the "On/Off" there is "Tare." Turn scale ON. Put your bowl on scale. Touch TARE, and you'll see the scale does not go off, but just goes to zero. Now you can enter contents to bowl, and get weight of contents. It's a fabulous scale! LOVE it for getting postage 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.

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.

yes, you can "Tare" out consecutive weighes. Each time you tare, the scale will "Zero" out for you to see how heavy the newly added ingrediants are.

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.

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. 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.

On mine, I can put the weight on and then tap the on/off//tare function on the left. The scale beeps and resets to zero after a slight lag. During that lag, the scale looks like it isn't responding, then it resets.

This scale does 1 gram increments, and can be cleaned with water (but not immersed). You put a dish or bowl on it and the scale automatically zeros the tare weight. You then add the food to be weighed. No need to wash the scale - you wash the dish.

no, the top of the scale is flat. but the best way to weigh flour would be to put into a bowl and tare the bowl first. that means you can zero out the bowl's weight and then add the flour to the bowl and have the accurate measurement. the scale will tare any container for you nicely. this is a wonderfuls scale.
