Pine Brook, NJ (PRWEB) June 28, 2006 -- The Ohaus Scout Pro has gained a reputation among bakers and pastry chefs for its precision, durability, cleanliness, and flexibility in the kitchen. Standing out from other scales in its price range, it offers many features that make it adept for culinary use in leading culinary institutions.
The Scout Pro provides accurate precision and is available in 400g x 0.1g and 6000g by 1g – among other models. Additionally, the Scout Pro series displays weights in kg, lb, oz, and lb:oz with the ability to switch quickly between units. The Scout Pro can be set-up to display only the units that the user needs, locking out all other units.
The Ohaus Scout Pro is one of Ohaus’ most popular products due to its durability and is trusted in industrial, lab and educational environments. Designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily use, the Scout Pro has enhanced protection for the weighing mechanism and has been tested to withstand loads of over 250 lbs. without damage to the loadcell. The Scout Pro has also been designed to shed spills quickly, with a front function panel sealed against liquids.
In food preparation applications, cleanliness is always of utmost concern. The Scout Pro has a sealed front panel for quick wipe-downs, and the weighing pan and its supporting frame can be removed for thorough washing. The removable platform also allows the Scout Pro to meet cleaning requirements for systems like HACCP.
Easy-to-use and portable, the Scout Pro series can be set-up quickly by using the simple menu system. Customizable menus allow users to select functions such as weighing units, using only - for example - pounds and grams while locking all other functions out. As an added convenience, the configuration can also be protected by a lock on the bottom of the scale. The Scout Pro is a great asset to any baker not only because it is easy to utilize, but also because its compact design was crafted for maximum portability, requiring just 4 AA batteries. The Scout Pro also comes with an AC adapter pack.
The Scout Pro series makes conversion easy for bakers with a Percentage Weighing function that can be used for two common baking applications, Baker’s Percentages and Specific Gravity Determination. The Baker’s Percentage method provides a quick way to scale a recipe up or down according to the desired amount. With the Scout Pro, the user can enable the percent mode with the press of a key, weigh-out the flour and lock the flour weight into the scale’s memory. The user can then weigh all the other ingredients as percentages of the flour’s weight. No longer a grueling task, ingredients calculations are made simple with the Scout Pro.
In addition, the percentage function in the Scout Pro can be used to measure the Specific Gravity of a baking mix compared to a set measurement of water. After locking in the weight of a set volume of plain water, the user can then compare the weight of the same volume of baking mix to ensure that the correct specific gravity is reached. This allows the baker to ensure that the mix has the required density and aeration for the desired consistency of the finished product.
