I killed my scale
Yesterday I was weighing the ingredients for Sylvia's buns and I was using a medium size stainless bowl. I had just washed and dried the inside but had neglected to dry the bottom well. After finishing weighing all of the ingredients, I picked the bowl off the scale which has a glass plate as the surface to set the bowl. Well, the water had formed a seal on the shiny flat surface that acted like a vacuumed glue for just a second or two while I moved the bowl (with the scale attached below) When the scale released from the bowl, it fell on the floor and bounced once. Unfortunately, it is now dead.
So, I'm out looking for another scale that is designed for the occasional moron who would use a wet bowl in the bakery.
