Taylor TE10FT 11-Pound Digital Portion Control Scale - Accurate

In this review of the Taylor TE10FT 11-Pound Commercial Digital Portion Control Scale, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, compact scale for kitchens that need consistent portion control without fuss. The reviewer finds the scale best suited to restaurants, catering operations, and serious home cooks who need reliable accuracy for pricing and recipe consistency. Its 11 lb capacity and 0.1 oz (1 g) increments deliver the most important benefit - consistent portions that help control costs and reduce waste.

Key Features

• 11 lb capacity: Weighs up to 11 lb (5 kg) which covers most food portioning tasks in a small commercial kitchen.
• Fine increments: The 0.1 oz (1 g) resolution lets users portion small items precisely for consistent servings and recipe accuracy.
• Stainless steel platform: The removable 5.4 in square platform is easy to clean and the marine edge keeps ingredients contained during weighing.
• Tare and hold functions: Tare allows weighing in containers while the hold function freezes the displayed weight even after the item is removed.
• Dual power: Can run on the included AC adapter or on AAA batteries, offering flexibility for countertop or portable use.
• Recalibratable design: Recalibration keeps measurements dependable over time with routine maintenance.

Who It's For

The scale is aimed at small to medium commercial kitchens, bakery stations, and deli counters that need measured portioning to protect margins and ensure consistent servings. It also suits home cooks who want a durable, compact scale with commercial features for meal prep.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need very large capacity scales, highly ruggedized industrial equipment, or advanced connectivity features like Bluetooth or cloud logging, which this model does not provide.
