Hello everyone!
I am telling you what I promised - about my new scales Oursson KS5006PD / OR.
I took them away on Monday, but then one thing or the other, and I had to photograph under a lamp on a computer. table, because if you wait for daylight hours, then only in summer in white nights, perhaps.
The box was so small, well, in comparison with the expected one, that at the pickup point I wanted to ask - where
money scales, Zin?
I didn't have anything from Oursson before, but I met the name in the multicooker topics and also saw the fermenter and yogurt maker. If they design everything like that, then this brand definitely has a mimic effect. Everything is so neat, colorful, shiny, smelling good of "new technology", not some kind of plastic.
The photo is dark, mimimi is not so bright, but there really is
Scales - under the bowl-lid, that's how I got it and photographed it.
It is packed well, there is still a box inside for safety during transportation, it did not get into the frame, like the batteries that came in the kit, because they are inside the scales, everything else in the photo is an instruction, a guarantee, a sticker with a QR code for a recipe book for a tablet / smartphone. Ran through quickly, normal recipes. If anyone needs a book, you can here
🔗 At the same time, I just walked around the site and saw that they had dry starter cultures (yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.). I have been using good food for many years, first going through everything sold in stores, I like good food most of all. It will be necessary to try these, too, I have not seen such before. I went through the search here, the girls are praising. Like this - I bought a scale, and I learned about another product, and I'm a fermented milk maniac, how passed me by Okay, this is offtopic

The first step was to check the accuracy.
Weighed the micro-scale and zeroed it, then put the apple down. Exactly!
By the way, it's cool when the dial is backlit. Neither Maxwell's deceased nor Orson does not shine.
Then she began to deal with the scales.
The buttons are touch-sensitive. I am more accustomed to the physical, so at first I pressed, and it was enough to touch, as in any technique with touch buttons.
You can choose grams, milliliters (so I understand that only water, the scales are not clairvoyant, and there are no buttons for choosing milk or other liquid, it means only water), fluid ounces, ounces and pounds.
Standard tare function for scales. Either without turning on the scales, put it on, and then turn it on immediately (this is possible, the instructions allowed), or turn it on, touch the on / off button, everything is reset and you can weigh it sequentially, resetting each previous ingredient. Standard, nothing new.
Auto power off 61 sec. showed a stopwatch, that is, the claimed 1 min.
To turn it off yourself, you need to touch on / off and hold your finger for 2-3 seconds.

Folding bowl, can be a lid.
I'm so used to Maxwell having a bowl = a lid that I watched the scales with the same option.I think it is convenient, protects against splashes, you can temporarily put something on the lid without damaging the scales, etc.
When folded, the height of the bowl is 5cm, when unfolded it is 10.5cm (measure inside). The instructions say that 1.25 liters, measured with water - 1.35 liters. Unfolds and folds easily. When folded, the rubber becomes a rim around the bottom, and the bowl does not slip on the scales, it stands firmly. When unfolded, it slides like the rest of my bowls.
The plastic is good, thick and sturdy. The middle is either silicone or some kind of rubber. Also thick, pleasant to the touch.
The only thing is that when folded there is like an island and a moat around, I would not weigh the loose when folded.

Moving on to
aquatic weighing procedures.
The first reaction is ah, they are so small, as I will weigh what I bought, oh. And then she went and compared with Maxwell.
Maxwell had a platform diameter of 11.2 cm.
Orson has 12.2cm on the short side, 12.9cm on the long side to the dial. Unexpectedly, but more.
But Maxwell has a beveled dial, but will Orson's readings be visible? I picked up different bowls that I usually use and began to try them on.
Photos of testing different bowls will be removed under the spoiler, because I, as always, swung the text and the photo. Without a spoiler, I will only show all the bowls participating in testing at once
Well, I did not photograph my own bowl, it is sharpened under these scales, at least along, at least across it.
The small bowl and measuring bowl from the blender, of course, stood well, nothing was covered.
Then came the middle tapering bowl, I like to weigh different things in it, and then knead, but it has a small bottom, it was lucky.
I took another bowl, I have several of them, I put the finished products in them, I like to weigh. Here, together with the cottage cheese, she weighed it. She, too, has a bottom much narrower than the top.
Let's check on a large bowl in which I make all sorts of pancakes and stuff. Large, liters for 3 or even 4. And also orange, beloved
But it also has a bottom that is narrower than the top diameters. Didn't notice before. Either this is a conspiracy, or Teperver bowls are made for these scales
Let's take the largest one for kneading the dough, it has a big bottom.
But, it is flat, so move it a little to the side and ok, the weight does not change, I looked in.
Yeah, I have new bowls from Globe and not taper ones. I'm not used to using them yet, but let's check.
I wrote about new bowls in kitchen details, they are for 2l., 2.75l., 3.75l. https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...429.0
And they have a completely different type of bottom.
This is a medium bowl. The youngest and the oldest are busy with various unfinished culinary masterpieces, which I am embarrassed to show at this stage, but I measured their bottom. The youngest has 8cm - it will get up. The middle and the oldest have the same - 12cm. So she got up too.
I tried on brand new bowls and Maxwell, remembering that there is 11 cm. The bowl with this bottom (I don't know how to describe it) just sat down on Maxwell's round platform, just as the native bowl sits down.
Total.
All my bowls, in which I like to weigh in this way or by adding ingredients sequentially, have risen normally, the view is not obstructed.
But if a flat dish when (although I don't remember when I weighed it), then Maxwell won exactly because the dial is on a beveled stand, and Orson lost because it was flat. A flat dish will overlap.
It will also not be very convenient to use the bowl from the combine (I do not have Kenwood yet, but I imagined, although it seems to be getting to the bottom too).
I think if you choose any flat scale, you need to think about it. Unless they are initially large, like the scales of the same Kenwood for kitchens. cars.

Conclusions.
I liked the scales. They are cute.
But I think that they may not be suitable for haute cuisine because of their size.
They are the simplest, precise, with all the necessary functions, for the house and for a mistress like me. I didn't even know that auto-shutdown is better for a longer time. I need to weigh flour or meat, vegetables or fruits, check the weight of what was bought on the market, weigh the finished product. And something like dumplings dough according to a popular recipe here in a combine in 30 seconds.I generally measure with glasses - 3 glasses of flour for 1 glass of liquid (egg + oil + water + salt), that is, without scales.
Here are spices and additives, accuracy is important to me. And for this I have a micro scale. Although, these are also accurate, but from 1gr.
Would I have bought them if I had been given them to hold them in my hands like this, or would I have bought Maxwell again? I do not know. Probably. I liked them in the picture, I wanted it and that's it. Sometimes you want to change something, and it would be better for a bright one. And again - they are cute, orange, took up little space and fit perfectly.
Do I regret buying? No Well dear ones, they don’t lie, and all my bowls came up. I even have an oblong dish if I suddenly need to weigh it flat.
Here is such a long review of simple scales for a thousand rubles
