We use this kitchen scale in our workshops for soap and candle making and find them to be a great asset to our workshop gear. Easy to clean and use.
These length of this scale is 20 cm and the tempered glass plate is 15 cm x 15 cm which can hold large pots.
Our workshop scales certainly take a beating during class, and we be believe that these are well worth the price. It has and auto turnoff function to save on batteries, and the glass plate is easy to clean.
* Caution: These scales contain button cell batteries and can cause serious injury or death if swallowed. Dispose of safely and store batteries out of reach.

Hate to be a nuisance, bought couple of books you recommended, and palm oil was used a lot, I have never seen it around here,can you substitute another oil?
Gavin –
You can substitute Tallow or Lard in direct proportion for palm oil; using up to 25 to 35% in a recipe. Some may dislike the use of tallow or lard in soap, since they are animal byproducts. On one hand, it’s good stewardship to use something that would normally be thrown away. On the other hand, it’s not compatible with the beliefs of vegans and some religions. I will let you decide, or you can just use our vegetable oil based recipe.

It might have been Gavin, its ok, they work fine and am quite pleased with them, can you recommend any reading material on milk soaps, coconut milk or goats milk?
Gavin –
I can. The Soap Queen’s book is quite good and has some milk soap recipes in it. Soap Crafting

scales are great, and very accurate, except I spilt bit of oil on them and when I wiped it the writing came off the press buttons, but that’s ok I know which button is which, and also very reasonably priced.

Hi Christine, was it fragrance oil that you spilt on the scale? It is quite corrosive stuff in its raw form and likes to dissolve plastic.
