Does the scale weigh negative too? For example: if I have a bowl with food in it, tare it, and then remove some of the food, does it give a negative?

Can't say for sure, but most likely, it will read the current weight, but not a negative weight. The company web sight has FAQ's and contact numbers. You should be able to ask them directly.

It will not count the bowl if you tare it after you set it on there so it will show 0.0 with the empty bowl on it then. Once you add something, it will go up and down as add or take away. It won't show below zero after that. It will go negative if you take the bowl off.

No..the scale is not a mathematical calculator..it will only show how much you put or take, but not the difference between amounts.

I just pulled out my scale to test this. I set an object on it, set the tare weight to zero, then removed the object. The scale reads negative the exact weight of the object. It also reads in pounds & ounces.

It seems to do so: i.e. it gives a weight preceded buy a negative sign. What this means, I don't really know. MOH

You press the button and it goes to zero. If you are using another container other than the bowl that comes with it, after setting the container on the scale you press the button to zero and then the only thing weighed is the contents.

The scale will return to zero after you remove the package. There is also a tare button that will calibrate the scale back to 0 when you press it.

The one I got didn't work. When I was chopping up veg's, and adding them bit by bit to the bowl sitting on the scale, it turned off in the middle of it, even though there was only a few seconds delay between adding things to the bowl. Then I tried pressing buttons and I wasn't able to get the weight back. It came back as 0. So I returned that scale and bought another of the same model, and it did the same thing.

the bowl is fully removable. you could use the scale without the bowl if you want to.

When the scale turns on it normally zeros the reading. If you want to use a basket for strawberries for instance, you set the basket on the scale and tap zero which tares out the weight of the basket.

No, it won't. As soon as you remove the weight, the numbers are gone. The scale is still "on", but without any number.

You can remove the bowl and still use the scale. Just take the bowl off and if the weight is not zero, push the tare button and it will change to zero. There is no sensor.

I often leave my scale powered on until it turns itself off, and the weight (even measuring in grams) remains zero. A couple of ideas: 1. does your unit turn itself off after a minute or so? If not, that's probably a sign it is bad and should be replaced (for free IMO), 2. have you reset the tare by pressing the power button (not enough to turn it off) and seen the weight continue to increase? Again, just my opinion, but it sounds like MIRA should replace your unit for free, though I'm unsure how long you've had it, so that will factor in. Good luck.

The lower section where the buttons are located has a solid clear cover, therefore no flour in the buttons. However, flour could get in the edge around the plastic - you would have to brush it out. I'm not sure why you wouldn't use a dish on the scale for something like that. You just put the bowl on, push the tare button to set the scale to zero and add what you are measuring to the bowl. This is a great scale. I've recommended it to others many times.

Put the box on the scale. Press tare. Remove box. Negative weight of box should be on the readout.

John,It does not come off to clean it, At least not that I know of. However, I have wax paper I put down on top of the scale before I put anything on it to weigh it. Makes cleaning up easier =)

Unfortunately not. The reading changes instantly. I had to buy a bowl with a bottom diameter about the size of the scale one.

Well put it on a sturdy flat surface. wobbly surfaces can cause subtle movement in the material being weighed, especially the surface plate. Once it is still it should settle to zero if it doesn't, then hit the tare action and that will re zero the scale. The directions should tell you on how to operate the tare function.

No, it doesn't have a tare button. You put the container that you're going to use on the scale and then zero it out, then add whatever you wish to weigh. That way, the weight of the container doesn't count. No need for a special button!

There is not a button for this function. If you place a bowl or item on the scale after its been turned on all you have to do is push the on button again and it will reset to 0 and not count the weight of bowl or item and then you can add food you to want to weigh.

Tare sets the scale to zero, no matter what is being weighed. For example, put a bowl on it, hit "Tare", now the scale reads zero. Now you could weigh something in that bowl and know exactly what it weighs.
