taring
Subtracting container weight
Taring is the act of zeroing out a scale to account for a container's weight, so only the contents are measured: After taring the bowl, she added flour until the scale read 200 grams.
The verb tare comes from the noun tare, meaning the weight of a container or vehicle without its contents.
