App-Connected Kitchen Scales

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Drop Scale' is an App-Connected Aid that Provides Recipes

— October 28, 2015 — Lifestyle
The 'Drop Scale' is a kitchen aid that uses an app-connected recipe guide to help consumers find and execute delicious homemade meals. The app is an interactive recipe book that can be accessed in any home using the compatible Drop Scale.

The scale can be used on its own as an average kitchen aid, but paired with the app, boasts smart-connected features that bring the user's kitchen to life. The dual cooking aid combination is a great way for new cooks to get familiar with their kitchen. However, it can also be used by avid chefs who want to try a new recipe without scouring the Internet.

The smart scale has the ability to alter a dish using its re-sizing function, which will instantly adjust any recipe. The simple device can be used in four easy steps. First, the user must find a desirable recipe, then ensure all the ingredient are available. The next step is prepping the dish while the last involves instantly sharing a photo of the finished products on users' social media platforms.
