Digital kitchen scales are a great way to accurately weigh out your ingredients. However, you may notice that your digital scale keeps changing weight when you are trying to measure out your ingredients.
One of the most common causes of scales fluctuating weight is low battery. When a scale’s battery begins to run low, it can begin to work inaccurately and fluctuate as it does not have enough power to work right.
When using your scale, be sure you only use it on a flat, even surface that is hard. If you try to use the scale on an even surface or a soft surface, such as a carpet, it will not work properly.
Over time, residue and grime can build up on your scale. This can happen from food and grease in your kitchen that comes in contact with your scale when baking.
Kitchen scales aren’t waterproof, so if water and moisture get in, it can cause damage. In some cases, the scale may not work at all, whereas other times it may just cause inaccuracies.
