Questions people ask

Are analog kitchen scales accurate enough for baking?
They work well for general cooking and most recipes. The dial markings are less fine than a digital readout, so very small amounts are harder to measure.
Do analog kitchen scales need batteries?
No, they use a spring, so they only need to be zeroed now and then with the adjustment knob.
