kitchen scale
Countertop measuring device
A kitchen scale is a device for weighing food and ingredients, essential for recipes that measure by weight rather than volume.
Digital scales display precise readings; mechanical scales use a spring or balance.
The recipe calls for 200 grams of flour, so I'll need the kitchen scale.
