Place your scale on a clean and level surface, like a countertop.

If portioning directly onto the weighing platform (for rolls, cookie dough, meatballs, etc), cover the platform with plastic wrap to keep it clean. Otherwise, place your bowl onto the weighing platform.

Press the ON/TARE button on your scale and wait for it to read "0."

Press the measurement selection button so your scale will measure in the increments needed: pounds and ounces, ounces, or grams.

Using a scoop, spoon, or cup (depending on what you're weighing), add the ingredient to the bowl until you reach the desired weight.

To Weigh Multiple Ingredients Into the Same Bowl

Follow Steps 1-5, above.

Press the TARE button to return the display to zero.

Repeat Step 5 for each subsequent ingredient, pressing the TARE button after each measurement before going on to measure the next ingredient.

To Scale Out Individual Portions

Follow steps 1-4.

Using a bench knife or similar, cut off a piece of what you're scaling out (bread dough, cookie dough, meatball mix, etc) and place it on the plastic wrap-covered weighing platform.

Read the measurement in the display, and add a bit more or remove a little until you get the measurement you need.
