Product Description
The Brecknell 405-LCD is a general-purpose electronic bench scale built for everyday use in commercial food preparation environments. It operates on a straightforward principle: place the vessel or container on the stainless steel platter, tare it off, and weigh each ingredient in turn. The 6kg capacity with 1g resolution makes it well suited to portion control work where accuracy matters but you are not dealing with large bulk quantities.
In a working kitchen, the practical value of a reliable bench scale often comes down to speed and ease of use during service prep. The backlit LCD display reads clearly in typical kitchen lighting conditions, and the 100% subtractive tare means operators can build up a recipe in a single bowl without resetting between ingredients. The removable stainless steel platter keeps cleaning straightforward and holds up well to repeated washing.
Key practical features include:
- Full tare function allowing sequential ingredient additions without bowl removal
- Removable stainless steel platter for quick, hygienic cleaning
- Selectable units covering kg, g, lb, oz, and lb/oz to suit different recipe formats
- Backlit display for clear reading in varying kitchen light conditions
- ABS plastic base construction offering moisture resistance for food prep areas
There are no particular installation requirements — the unit is free-standing and portable, which suits prep areas where the scale may need to move between stations. It is worth noting that at 6kg capacity, this model is best suited to portioning individual ingredients or smaller batch work rather than weighing heavier bulk stock. For operations needing to weigh larger quantities routinely, a higher-capacity model would be worth considering.
This scale is a practical fit for smaller kitchens, catering prep areas, bakeries, and any environment where consistent portioning is a daily requirement rather than an occasional task.
If you are unsure whether the 6kg range covers your typical workload, or have questions about suitability for a specific prep environment, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For portioning individual ingredients, herbs, spices, sauces, and smaller batch components, 6kg is typically adequate. Where you need to weigh larger quantities of bulk ingredients routinely — such as whole portions of meat or significant volumes of dry goods — a higher-capacity scale would be a more practical choice.
- The 100% subtractive tare means you can place a bowl on the platter, zero the display, add your first ingredient, tare again, and continue adding subsequent ingredients in sequence — all without emptying or removing the bowl. This is particularly useful during high-volume prep sessions where speed and accuracy both matter.
- The ABS plastic base offers a degree of moisture resistance that makes it reasonably well suited to damp prep environments, and the removable stainless steel platter can be rinsed separately. That said, it is not rated as waterproof, so direct immersion or exposure to heavy water spray should be avoided to protect the internal components.
