Metric Weight Set Kitchen Balance Scale Measuring

For years, I've had a set of balance scales with imperial weights and have had to calculate when using meteric recipes. Now that chore (and the nagging worry that I've mucked up the maths) has gone! They're a generous set of weights, i.e., two or more of some denominations, and they arrived on time in good condition. Job done.

Bought these weights because more and more recipes are in metric and my old scales have imperial weights. They arrived well packed within a couple of days from order. The fact that there are 2 x 200g and 2 x 20g weights allow you to get any combination of weight. Much prefer balance scales to the digital, now I have the best of both worlds, can use any recipe. Sent a catalogue with the order and they have a good selection of other items which I am looking to purchase.

These are really good value for money. Most others I looked at I thought were overpriced but these were very reasonable. They are good quality, the only downside is that they don't stack particularly well, however I think this is a minor issue. I'd recommend these to anyone needing a set of metric weights, perhaps to supplement a set of imperial ones as I did.

Delivery excellent. Product as described and reasonable quality. My only criticism, ( having bought these to replace an old imperial set) would be that they dont stack INTO each other like my old ones. They do sit on top of each other, but can easily slide off. Otherwise great.

My box it arrived in was destroyed but as metal the item could still be used luckily.

I want to use this product with recipes which have ingredients weighed in grams not ounces and pounds. You sent the wrong weights but they are too heavy for me to cheaply send back.

I usually use my "imperial" weights - but needed metric as so many recipes now only do metric. I like the shape of these - easy to distinguish from my round imperial weights. However, contrary to the impression given by the picture (and unlike my imperial weights) the larger weights do not "nest" inside each other - which means that I have to keep them in the box to minimise risk of knocking them off the shelf. Also, it would have been better to have a 300g and a 200g rather than 2 x 200g weights. Lastly, the heaviest weight is only 500g (in contrast to metric weight where there is a 2lb weight) - which means that large quantities/recipes require two lots of weighing - which is a pain.

Thank goodness my wife won't be pumping me for weight conversions anymore whilst putting together some complicated recipe. She already got a set of weights in pounds and ounces but less and less recipes are produced with these measures and more and more in metric. She's thrilled with this present (her words, not mine) - no more complicated maths whilst cooking - ever again!
