How Commercial Kitchen Scales & Funnels Work
Wondering what makes commercial scales and funnels tick? Professional kitchen scales use precision load cells that convert weight into electrical signals, displaying exact measurements on digital screens with various unit options (grams, ounces, pounds). Many feature a brilliant tare function that zeroes out container weight, ensuring you're only measuring ingredients. Meanwhile, commercial funnels use wide mouths and narrow spouts crafted from food-grade materials to transfer liquids or powders without spills—perfect for decanting oils, sauces, or dry ingredients between containers with minimal waste and maximum control.

For funnels, warm them slightly before transferring hot liquids to prevent thermal shock, and store them nested to save space. Pair with measuring cups for a complete portion control system that maintains recipe consistency.
