Can I tare out this scale if I have a bowl of silver grains?

yes. just depress the tare button. it will then read zero. when you remove the empty bowl it shall read a negative weight. replace the bowl to get back to zero and when you add the silver grains you shall read a net weight which is the weight of the silver alone. bear in mind that silver is very dense like lead and gold almost, so you do not want to go over the gross capacity of the scale which would be the negative tare value combined with the positive net value for a total of 100.00 g on this model. now another thing to consider is wind and building movement. on a 1/100th g scale just be still for 3 seconds. on a 1/10,1000th g scale you must have an wind proof enclosure. be sure to turn off the boom box before you weigh. this is the best, most accurate, rugged scale of it's type which i have ever owned. right now i'm using it to trade $1000 usc / quart printer ink every day. are you using troy ounces or aravopoulos ounces for your silver? fickle $150 jeweler's scales have built in calculators, carat converters, etc.

Yes, you can place a container on the scale and then hit the "T" symbol and it will zero the scale so that all you're weighing are the contents that you add to the bowl.

Yes, and you will continue to see this. It's the minerals from your water. You have to clean and descale it regularly, using either vinegar or citric acid. A tablespoon or two of vinegar in your water when it begins to get flaky or when the sides of the unit begin to look frosted. Run the unit through a cycle, drain it, then run at least two more loads of just water through it. Should remove all the scale. I usually do this about once every two months. Also the little filter on the floor of the inside of the unit, the steel mesh one, comes off and should be scrubbed with a toothbrush or something similar to unclog it.

I have only just bought my scales Esther so cannot help but I suggest you write to the company you bought it from for their advice! That is what I would do:)

The top tray does not come off the scale. There is a function to place a plate/bowl on the scale and accurately measure your foods so foods would never have to come in contact with the scale.

No. The scale reads + or - .1 or .2 grains, so what you will see is 14.1 to 14.3. I would be very surprised if it came out to be exactly 14.3.

I use a piece of plastic on the scale and then put the food on the plastic. I never place food directly on the scale. There is a tare weight that you use when you turn it on with the plastic in place. You still get an accurate reading. I just use a damp cloth to wipe it off. I never put food directly on it.

No you cannot. A couple of the pans have warped so now they do not set level and they spin when stirring my food.

The tare feature works either automatically by placing the 'tray' to tare out on the scale first and then powering on the scale or by re-calibrating by hitting the tare button with the scale powered on. You can over weigh by using too heavy a tare item so be careful.

You can not turn it of however, once you take item of scale hit the on/tare button. That will reset it to zero.

Hello Rebecca,Your answer is no, unfortunately. It's only in pounds. You need to convert the fraction of the pound to ounces if you need it. But it is a quality scale, otherwise.Phil.

There is a knob/switch under the scale (in the middle). Pressing that will change from oz to gram

Yes. You can zero out this scale after it contains material and then when you remove material the weight shows negative.

Yes you can. The plastic cover simply protects the scale from dust. Verify the dimensions of the scale b4 you purchase to be sure you can get all your weighables on the scale itself.

You can remove the bowl and still use the scale. Just take the bowl off and if the weight is not zero, push the tare button and it will change to zero. There is no sensor.

Never though of it but I suppose you could. I usually just reset the scale to zero when I put the plate on it and then the food, and if I'm measuring more than one thing I'll reset a second time for the next item on the plate.

no you can not. the measurement line is inside the bowl. despite this, i like them

Yes, you should be able to. I would just be careful because the front of the scale is actually glass.
