KitchenAid Digital Kitchen Scale, Black, 11 lb Capacity with Glass Surface and Tare

KitchenAid KQ908 is a digital kitchen scale for weighing dry and liquid ingredients, with a tempered-glass surface and an 11 lb dry-ingredient capacity.

• Dry capacity: 11 lb (5,000 g), with 0.1 oz (1 g) increments — measure ingredients in either unit system.
• Liquid capacity: 5,000 mL × 1 mL or 176 fl oz × 0.1 fl oz — weigh liquid ingredients using volume units.
• Rotating, push-to-use knob — turn to choose units and press to tare or power the scale on or off.
• 1.0-inch (2.54 cm) backlit readout — view measurements on the display.
• Three AAA batteries included — power the scale without buying batteries separately.

Whether you are portioning ingredients for a recipe or measuring several additions into one container, this scale brings weight and liquid-volume measurements together in a single countertop tool. Its controls are designed for direct use: rotate the knob to select a unit, then press it to access the scale’s tare or power functions.

How does the tare function help when measuring ingredients?

The tare function resets the displayed weight to zero, so you can weigh ingredients in a container or add multiple ingredients one at a time without removing them from the scale. Press the knob to tare between additions, keeping the ingredients together in one container as you continue measuring.

• Use tare to zero the weight of a container before adding food.
• Reset between additions when combining ingredients in the same container.

What materials and controls does the KitchenAid KQ908 have?

The scale has a tempered-glass weighing surface and stainless steel accent trim. Glass provides a naturally stain- and odor-free surface, while the oversized rotating knob makes unit selection and the tare and power functions accessible from one control.

• The knob design takes inspiration from KitchenAid countertop electric ovens.
• Its backlit readout is designed for easy reading.

How do you clean and power the scale?

Use a damp cloth to wipe the scale, then dry it thoroughly. It is hand-wash only: do not immerse it in water or put it in a dishwasher. The scale runs on three included AAA batteries and turns itself off after three minutes with no change in weight on the platform.

• Keep cleaning to a damp-cloth wipe; dry the surface after cleaning.
• Automatic shut-off follows three minutes without a weight change.

The KitchenAid KQ908 suits home cooks who want to weigh both dry and liquid ingredients, switch measurement units with a knob, and combine ingredients using tare. Its glass surface, backlit display, and stated hand-wash care make it a straightforward fit for countertop food measuring.
