The Ohaus FD Food Portioning Scale is gaining popularity as the benchmark scale for pastry and dessert instruction.
For weighing out dry ingredients, the FD's capacity range and precision have made it a popular piece of equipment in instructional kitchens.
The FD scale is specifically designed for use in food preparation where cleanliness is a must.
The Ohaus FD Food Portioning Scale is available in capacities and readabilities of 6 x 0.001lb (3 x 0.5g), 15 x 0.002lb (6 x 1g) and 30 x 0.005lb (15 x 2g).
All three models feature the same compact and durable design.
Within two seconds, the FD provides fast and accurate results that are quickly readable on the large, backlit LCD display.
For added quality, the FD's weighing mechanism meets the requirements of NTEP Class III per Handbook 44, allowing use in legal-for-trade weighing.
To meet stringent cleanliness requirements in food preparation, the FD features a stainless-steel top and bottom housing as well as a removable stainless-steel pan.
Listed/certified to 'NSF/ANSI 169 Special Purpose Food Equipment and Devices' (formerly NSF C-2), the FD is also USDA-AMS accepted to NSF/3-A 14159-1-2002 (Hygiene Requirements for the Design of Meat and Poultry Processing Equipment) and meets requirements for HACCP conformity.
Culinary institutions often require students to work in metric and imperial measurements.
The FD Food Scale allows students to select from several weighing units - including pounds, fractional ounces, decimal ounces, combined pounds and ounces, grams or kilograms - with the press of just one key.
This is especially helpful when switching from metric to imperial recipes and avoids the need for extra scales.
Also beneficial to culinary instructors, the FD can be configured quickly using the menu system to meet the instructor's classroom needs.
The FD can be set into the weighing units the instructor wants, and only those units, to prevent errors.
Designed for maximum portability, the FD includes an internal rechargeable battery that can run for more than 120 hours before requiring a recharge.
The FD can also be used throughout the week on a single overnight recharge.
