Product Overview
Finding a scale that’s as good with a pinch of saffron as it is with a kilo of spuds can be a real faff. Meet the Taylor Pro FS591, a brilliant bit of kit designed to solve that very problem.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a busy cafe in the heart of Chester, was struggling with workflow during their morning bake-off. Their team was constantly switching between a bulky mechanical scale for flour and a fiddly small one for things like baking powder, which was slow and led to inconsistencies.
"The Taylor Pro scale has honestly tidied up our entire baking process. Having both scales in one unit on the bench saves so much time. Our scones and cakes have never been more consistent, and our customers have noticed the quality."
Robert Mills – Owner & Head Baker
By implementing the dual platform scale, The Copper Kettle reduced their ingredient weighing time by over 15% and eliminated costly baking errors.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always place the scale on a completely flat, stable, and vibration-free surface for accurate readings.
- Insert two fresh AAA batteries into the compartment on the underside.
- Press the 'On' button and allow the display to stabilise at zero before placing anything on it.
- Use the 'Tare' button to zero out the weight of your bowl or container before adding ingredients.
Keeping It Going
- Clean the stainless steel platform with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Never use abrasive scourers.
- Do not submerge the scale in water or place it in a dishwasher – it is wipe-clean only.
- Remove the batteries if you plan on storing the scale for an extended period to prevent leakage.
- Avoid dropping the unit or overloading the platforms beyond their stated capacity to protect the sensors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this scale weigh liquids like milk or water?
A: Yes, the large platform has a millilitre (ml) mode, which is perfect for weighing water-based liquids accurately.
Q: What does the 'Tare' function do?
A: The Tare function allows you to place a container on the scale and reset the display to zero. This means you can measure only the ingredients you add, ignoring the weight of the bowl.
Q: Can I use both weighing platforms at the exact same time?
A: Yes, a key feature of this model is its ability to weigh on both platforms simultaneously, with each measurement shown on the clear dual display.
Q: How do I switch between grams, ounces, and millilitres?
A: There is a 'Unit' button that allows you to cycle through the different measurement units easily for each platform.
Q: How accurate is the smaller, high-precision platform?
A: It is extremely accurate, measuring in tiny 0.01g increments, making it ideal for ingredients where ultimate precision is required.
Q: Is the stainless steel platform resistant to staining from spices like turmeric?
A: High-quality stainless steel offers excellent resistance to staining and odours. For best results, wipe it clean promptly after use.
Q: What happens if I put something too heavy on it?
A: The scale has a built-in overload indicator, which will appear on the display to prevent you from damaging the internal sensors.
Q: Is it easy to read the display?
A: Yes, it features a large, clear LCD screen with a dual display, so you can see both weights clearly from a typical working distance.
The Taylor Pro Promise: Precision That Pays Off
Choosing a Taylor Pro scale isn't just about buying a piece of equipment; it's an investment in the consistency and reputation of your business. For over 170 years, Taylor has been a byword for accuracy, and this restaurant digital weighing scale embodies that legacy. In a professional kitchen, 'close enough' isn't good enough. Inaccurate measurements lead to inconsistent results, wasted ingredients, and ultimately, unhappy customers. This scale is engineered to eliminate that risk. Its robust stainless steel construction is designed to withstand the daily rigours of a commercial environment, from accidental knocks to frequent cleaning, ensuring it remains a reliable part of your toolkit for years to come. This long-term durability means a lower total cost of ownership compared to cheaper, less reliable alternatives that need frequent replacement. With the Taylor Pro FS591, you're buying peace of mind, knowing every dish can be replicated perfectly, service after service.
Why the Dual Platform Makes a Real Difference
Ever tried to weigh 2 grams of yeast on a scale designed to hold 20 kilograms? It's like trying to parallel park a bus in a space meant for a motorbike – clumsy and wildly inaccurate. That's the problem this commercial dual platform kitchen scale solves. The 'dual platform' isn't just a fancy feature; it's about having the right tool for the job, built into one device.
Think of it like this: the large 5kg platform is your reliable workhorse, perfect for big bowls of dough or measuring stock. The smaller, highly-sensitive 500g platform is your precision instrument, designed for the delicate, high-impact ingredients like expensive spices, leavening agents, or molecular gastronomy powders where a fraction of a gram matters. By separating these tasks, you get uncompromising accuracy at both ends of the spectrum, ensuring your recipes are perfectly consistent every time.
