Heston Blumenthal by Salter Dual Platform Kitchen Scale
1049HB, 10kg and 200g platforms
Editorial review Reviewed 24 October 2026 How we assess products
Heston Blumenthal by Salter 1049HB combines a 10kg platform reading in 1g steps with a 200g platform reading in 0.1g steps. It suits bread, pizza dough and baking that involves both heavy bowls and tiny additions. Each platform has its own tare control to reset its reading to zero after adding a container. This lets the main bowl stay in place while you weigh yeast, salt or spices on the small side. Clear labelling and prompt readings help, and three AAA batteries are supplied. The slim body stores more easily than a bowl-style scale, though the raised plates can catch debris or stick and need careful wiping. Keep the base dry and check the platform limit before weighing. OXO Good Grips is simpler for large-bowl everyday cooking; Beurer KS36 is a smaller secondary scale if you only need fine measurements.
