Abstract

An inter-active electronic scale (A) comprises a weighing means (11), a software-controlled micro-processor (50), a memory (8), means (4) for communicating information to a user, and command means (2), the weighing means (11), the memory means (8), the communication means (4) and the command means (2) being operably connected to the micro-processor (50). The memory includes sets of instructions and/or product information, and operation of the software causes recipe and/or product information to be communicated from the memory to the user. Upon placing an amount of a product onto the weighing means (11) the scale (A) calculates whether the amount of product matches the amount required by the instructions, and if it does the scale indicates to the user that the amount is the required amount and moves on to the next step in the recipe.
