What is a tare function?

Just looked it up-a way of measuring stuff. Meanwhile not necessary to weight luggage. Good product.

If you wanted to weigh a fish in a net you would first weigh the net, make that as your tare then weigh fish in net and you'd see the fish's weight.

It allows you to put a starting weight. For example, you can weight the suitcase empty, and set that as your tare. Then when you weigh it full the weight shown will be contents only.

I have the same problem, which is why I bought this. Yes, in my opinion, this is a very good product to help reduce tartar. Of course, you need to be careful using it, as the metal instruments are sharp. I use it about once a week, and it made my last visit to the dentist less tedious.

Sorry, don't know. Bought it erroneously hoping for another function. Immediately returned it.

Turn on the instrument, put the cylinder on the scale and press the zero button. Now, it reads the amount of weight lost as you put in the refrigerant. You do not enter any specific setting. If you wanted a tare weight, turn on the unit, zero it and then place the cylinder on the scale. You now have a tare weight. Not good for anything, but you have it.

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.

With nothing on the scale, it should read "0.00" or just "0" If it isn't then with nothing on the scale touch the button that says "Tare." That will set it to "0." If that doesn't work then you may have a troubled scale. If you do have a troubled scale, it is an exception and not the rule. these are very good scales. You can do this if you place an empty container on the scale. The scale will show you how much that empty container weighs. Touch the Tare button and it will go to all 0s. Then you can add whatever it is you wish to weigh. Now if you remove the product and the container the scale will now show a negative number. Just hit "Tare" and it will go to 0s again.

The main purpose of the rotating stand is to slice cake layers into thinner layers. You insert the knife and spin the stand slowly so you get an even slice.I'm not sure if it would leave marks if you slice a tart shell. If that's your main purpose, I'd get a regular cake stand.

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.

older versions also used to contain tar as well...that is the version I'm used to

What I do is sort of set the plate back a bit and then I can still see it - If you put the plate on first then turn it on you don't have to use the tare button - it just sets at zero to start!

Good question and according to the instructions it does do tare weight; it's displayed as a negative. Here's the info I have from the manual -- I. TARE WEIGHING (1.) Turn on the scale as described above. (2.) Place a container on the scale hook and wait for it to stabilize (HOLD will be displayed). 3. Tap the [] button. "0.00" or "0" will be displayed. (4.) You can now add items to the container or tray to obtain just the weight of the contents. (5.) When the container is removed, a negative number will be displayed. Press [] again to zero the scale. Note: The "[]" is the icon on the scale, which didn't copy here. But here's a link to the PDF: http://www.americanweigh.com/images/PDF/SR-Series_manual.pdf (search term "tare").

Tthere is a hard plastic piece that supports the back and bottom under the top (softer) layers. it is small enough, however, to keep the whole piece relatively compact when folded.

Yes, you can do this 2 different ways. One is to turn it on with the tare container already in place. It'll zero. There is also a tare button (on the right) for you to reset once the unit is on. Max load remains the same so use a light tare container for more measuring capacity.

Yes, If you place your container on the scale and tap the power button it will Tare to 0. That is also listed as a feature in the product description (#3)

Totally does have tare feature. I.E. can set a bowl on it and hit tare to reset to zero. Great product for the price.

Yes if you put something on it, hit the tare button, weigh something else, and then remove it all. Like if you put a plate on it, zeroed it out and then weighed some food. When you remove the food and plate, it would show a negative.

Because it's a conversion of what the WEIGHT of the flour should be. I bought a kitchen scale with a tare function and it is SO convenient. Put the bucket on the scale, tare it to zero and add the ingredients straight into the bucket, taring after each addition.
