Counterline Retro Dial Kitchen Scales, Large and Small

Weighing is how we get sausage and burger blends right every time. The large scale reads to 11 pounds in clear markings, enough for a whole pork butt or five pounds of ground chuck, while the small scale handles salt and spices for a cure.

Both have enameled steel bodies in cream with bright red needles and a zero-adjust knob. No batteries means they work in a hot garage by the smoker. Lift off the stainless bowls to wash them, and wipe the bodies with a damp cloth.
