Unless you have a very expensive scale, bulky containers, large roasts, and the like can obscure the display on the digital scale, making it impossible to get a good read out. To the rescue! Your cake stand. Steady a light weight cake stand on the scare and ste the tare at zero. The cake stand, which is wide enough to accommodte large pans and big cuts of meats, elevates items so that the display is visible.

If you don’t use the elevating trick above, you can in some cases slide the entire scale into a large zipper-lock bag. The buttons will visible and usable thruough the clear bag.
