The CASO Kitchen Duo combines two distinct weighing modes in a single unit. The standard mode handles everyday cooking quantities up to 15kg in 1g increments, covering everything from a bag of flour to a whole chicken. Switch to precision mode and the maximum drops to 1kg with 0.1g resolution, which is the accuracy needed for spices, yeast, setting agents, or any ingredient where a small variance makes a meaningful difference to the result. The stainless steel anti-fingerprint surface keeps the platform looking presentable in a working kitchen, sensor touch operation keeps the controls clean and easy to use, and the HOLD function keeps the last reading on the LED display if you need to move the scales before noting the weight. A tare function, automatic switch-off, and a carrying handle for easy repositioning round out a well-specified set of features for a scales at this price point. Runs on 3 AAA batteries.
- Dual weighing modes in one unit: Standard mode weighs up to 15kg in 1g increments for everyday cooking quantities; switch to precision mode for measurements up to 1kg in 0.1g increments for spices, setting agents, and precise baking ingredients.
- HOLD function: The HOLD function keeps the last weight reading visible on the LED display after the item is removed, useful when you need to move the scales before noting the measurement.
- Stainless steel anti-fingerprint surface: The weighing platform is finished in high-quality stainless steel with an anti-fingerprint treatment that keeps the surface looking clean in a busy kitchen.
- Large LED display with sensor touch controls: The large LED display is easy to read in kitchen lighting, and the sensor touch controls avoid the mechanical wear of physical buttons.
- Tare function and automatic switch-off: The tare function zeros the display with a container in place for accurate ingredient weighing, and automatic switch-off preserves battery life between uses.
What Customers Ask About This Product
How do I switch between standard and precision mode?
The source data does not detail the exact switching mechanism, but the two modes are controlled via the sensor touch interface. The instruction manual will confirm the precise steps for switching between 15kg/1g standard mode and 1kg/0.1g precision mode.
What is the 0.1g precision mode most useful for?
The 0.1g resolution is most relevant for baking ingredients where small quantities have a significant effect: yeast, baking powder, setting agents such as agar, spices, salt in bread recipes, and small quantities of citric acid or other additives. Standard 1g resolution is usually sufficient for larger quantities of flour, sugar, butter, and similar ingredients.
What batteries does it use and are they included?
The scales require 3 AAA batteries. The source data does not confirm whether batteries are included in the box. Worth checking when the product arrives before assuming they are supplied.
Can it weigh in units other than grams?
Yes. The Kitchen Duo measures in grams, ounces, and millilitres, covering the units used in most UK and US recipes as well as volume measurements for liquids.
In our experience...
0.1g precision changes what you can bake accurately at home. Most kitchen scales resolve to 1g, which is sufficient for most baking but introduces meaningful error when weighing small quantities. 1g in a 3g yeast measurement is a 33% variance. At 0.1g resolution, that same measurement is accurate to within a few percent. For bread baking and any recipe that calls for less than 5g of an ingredient, the precision mode makes a practical difference.
Two scales in one unit has a real storage advantage. A household that needs both a general kitchen scale and a precision scale for spices or supplements would typically need two separate devices. The Kitchen Duo consolidates that into one unit with one footprint, one set of batteries, and one place to store it.
The HOLD function solves a specific but recurring problem. Many digital scales switch off or clear the display quickly after the load is removed. If the scales are positioned where you cannot read them easily whilst also recording the weight, the HOLD function means the reading stays visible until you are ready to note it. A small feature that saves frustration in a busy kitchen.
Anti-fingerprint stainless steel is a more practical surface than it sounds. A standard stainless steel platform shows every fingerprint and water mark in kitchen light. An anti-fingerprint treatment diffuses surface oils so marks are less visible between cleans. On a surface touched constantly during cooking, that makes a noticeable difference to how the scales look on the worktop.
Sensor touch controls are more hygienic than mechanical buttons in a kitchen. Mechanical buttons accumulate grease, flour, and food residue in the gaps around them and are difficult to clean properly. A flat sensor touch surface wipes clean with a damp cloth in the same pass you would use to wipe the weighing platform itself.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Weighing platform: Wipe the stainless steel platform with a damp cloth after use. The anti-fingerprint surface resists marks but benefits from a regular wipe to remove flour, oil, and food residue. Do not use abrasive scourers.
Display and controls: Wipe the sensor touch controls and LED display panel with a damp cloth. Do not allow liquid to enter the unit around the display or control area.
Batteries: Replace the AAA batteries when the display dims or the scales give inconsistent readings. Remove batteries if the scales will not be used for an extended period.
What to avoid: Do not immerse the scales in water. Do not place the scales near a heat source. Do not exceed the maximum capacity of either mode.
