Baking School Uses OHAUS EB Bench Scales to Build Formulas
There is one art form that nearly all individuals can appreciate – the art of baking. Delicious cookies, artesian breads and beautifully decorated cakes can be enjoyed by many; however the fine talent of creating such edible masterpieces is instilled in few.

Additionally, the baking industry relies on quality measuring instruments that enable professionals and beginners alike to follow recipes with confidence in their measurements.
A culinary school in Oregon that meets the needs of beginner students all the way through professional chefs is very impressed with the Ohaus EB counter top digital Continue reading
FLOOR SCALE PRICES
The price of mild steel used in the manufacture of Pennsylvania M6600 Floor Scales rose considerably in 2008. It is difficult in a world market where steel demand drives up the price of the Pennsylvania “Made in the USA” floor scales and meanwhile inferior “no name” products are dumped in the market, putting enormous price pressure on everyone as well. For example, the steel structural extrusion material that is used in the most popular 48″ x 48″ Pennsylvania floor scale designs has DOUBLED in cost since January 2008 — and they use 16′ of it in each and every 4×4 scale. A few comments about the Pennsylvania floor scale design and marketing philosophy:
- Pennsylvania will not cheapen the M6600 floor scale to match the competition. The floor scale Continue reading
Merry Christmas!
Since everyone is so afraid to say it this year, I figured I would title the entry Merry Christmas. Oh, I said it again. I hope I don’t offend anyone. Who am I kidding? I hope that I do offend some people. This idea that we can only say Happy Holidays is stupid. Plain and simple stupid. If you don’t celebrate Christmas, fine. Don’t. But it is time we as Christians (devout, twice a year church goers, and/or everyone in between) stand up and take back this holiday. I’m not saying this to be arrogant. If you choose not to Continue reading

You want some fries with that floor scale?
It has almost become comical when we stop and take a few moments to look around the internet at all the different floor scales that are available. Sometimes, it is even funnier when we notice all the floor scale “experts” positioned throughout the internet that are selling the floor scales. It’s really unbelievable. It’s as if floor scales are posted on websites like burgers are listed on restaurant menus. However, as some of you know, not every burger is the same. Same holds true for floor scales. Quality matters.
You see, we’ve been working on and selling floor scales going on thirty years. Many of our suppliers have been selling them for longer than that. That’s why we just shake our head when we continue to have folks Continue reading
Let’s not forget this…
Got an email this week and thought I’d pass this on:
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to The United States of America for an amount of up to and including their life.
That is Honor and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Let me guess your age, birth month, or your weight
Many people go and visit their State Fair this time of year. I’m no exception. What a fun way to spend a day. When you do go and visit, you probably will notice the many displays set up who will guess your weight, your birth month or your age. Seems like they are located on every corner. They guess wrong and you win a prize. What scale do they normally have beside them?
Usually, it is an old mechanical dial scale. These days, not too many of those old mechanical dial scales are available. However, we do have these portable digital platform scales which are similar.
