Commercial Quality Kitchen Scale

[Wingman505]

My wife and I really want to find a high end scale for the kitchen.  We search and are disappointed by what we find.  I know you all love quality kitchen implements... Can you give us any suggestions?  Do any of you have a high end scale?

Are you looking for a scale for large quantities or small amounts? How accurate do you want? 

Modernist Cuisine has nice accurate scales for smaller quantities. 

Check Webstaurant.com for commercial sizes.

Many years ago I bought a Salter Brecknell scale. It is accurate and has severed me well. If I recall correctly it is accurate to 2 decimal places and will weigh I believe up to 5 pounds.

@Wingman505, as Tony's questions imply, it depends on what you need.  I also think that "high end" and "commercial" may be mutually exclusive.  We had a fancy pants scale for many years that irritated me by conking out periodically and not measuring above 5kg.  This year The Husband bought us a new, very simple and cheap scale from a commercial supplier in the UK.  It's advantages are that it measures more accurately, can switch between units easily and gets up to much higher weights.  I use that alongside my "drug dealer" scales which measure small weights very accurately and help with things like yeast and salt for bread making etc.

I thought the purple crack you guys were using was just a nickname for a rub.😀

It actually is the nickname that I gave to the Tazmanian mountain pepper berries.
