Spotted by us: a genius TikTok kitchen scale hack you need to try. Because TikTok isn't just for dances and makeup trends – you can also pick up some game-changing life hacks when scrolling through your For You page. Case in point is the latest trick I picked up, which shows the best way to measure out cooking ingredients with digital scales. I always thought I knew how to measure out my baking ingredients, but oh, how wrong I was.
Prior to this kitchen scales TikTok hack, I've always placed a bowl on my digital scales, and set it to zero before filling it with the desired quantity of flour, butter, or anything else. Then I'd add this to my mixing bowl and chuck the measuring bowl in the sink to be washed later. It turns out this creates unnecessary washing up, and I've been wasting my time for years when there's one simple way to cut out the middle man.
