Does this scale have zero-out, or tare ability?

The answer is YES. This scale comes with the Tare function. Please read the user manual.

Yes it does. And what's nice is that you can remove the container after hitting the tare button, and the scale remembers the value (it will then show a negative value when the container is removed). So it allows you to remove the container and fill it at a more convenient location and then place the filled container back on the scale to weigh the contents' weight.

yes. just depress the tare button. it will then read zero. when you remove the empty bowl it shall read a negative weight. replace the bowl to get back to zero and when you add the silver grains you shall read a net weight which is the weight of the silver alone. bear in mind that silver is very dense like lead and gold almost, so you do not want to go over the gross capacity of the scale which would be the negative tare value combined with the positive net value for a total of 100.00 g on this model. now another thing to consider is wind and building movement. on a 1/100th g scale just be still for 3 seconds. on a 1/10,1000th g scale you must have an wind proof enclosure. be sure to turn off the boom box before you weigh. this is the best, most accurate, rugged scale of it's type which i have ever owned. right now i'm using it to trade $1000 usc / quart printer ink every day. are you using troy ounces or aravopoulos ounces for your silver? fickle $150 jeweler's scales have built in calculators, carat converters, etc.

Yes, you can place a container on the scale and then hit the "T" symbol and it will zero the scale so that all you're weighing are the contents that you add to the bowl.

It appears to be accurate and to hold the zero. As with any scale, be gentle placing the loaded tray back on the scale.

Mine is always 4 pounds off and I don't know how to fix it. It zeros itself each time I use it , but then is 4 pounds off one way or the other. I think it is just a bad scale. I am going to get a different scale from a different company. Sorry I couldn't help.

Sylvia, I see you received some yes and some no answers. The scale that I received automatically turns off 60 seconds after the last operation. The scale works great.Jim W

I have one. it's nice. I use it for measuring glazes. I've never been able to zero it out, so I have to subtract the weight of the container for each measure. it's not the perfect scale for what I do, but I've adjusted

To be honest with you I don't recall.. I can't imagine that it does not, but I was not satisfied w/the results in pounds (when compared to other scales I had) so I returned it for lack of accuracy.The lack of accuracy would have reflected both in pounds and kilograms so the issue was moot to me.I highly recommend that you read all reviews before deciding to buy this product!

It is simple, just put whatever you want to tare out on the scale and press the Z/T - On/Off button. The scale then shows 0.00 on the display, pronto!

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.

I don't recall. I just wipe with Clorox wipes I don't place food directly on scale. It has a tare feature to weigh the container first then the food.

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

Not had this happen. Did you place the bowl on the scale first, then tare to reach 0, then add food? My experience has been, once tared the bowl is out of the weighing process. You can add and subtract food and it doesn't register a negative number.

No it doesn't, but it has a tare weight feature where you can place an empty container on the scale and it resets to 0.0. Then as you add ingredients to the container, the scale only reads the weight of the ingredients.

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.

Good question and according to the instructions it does do tare weight; it's displayed as a negative. Here's the info I have from the manual -- I. TARE WEIGHING (1.) Turn on the scale as described above. (2.) Place a container on the scale hook and wait for it to stabilize (HOLD will be displayed). 3. Tap the [] button. "0.00" or "0" will be displayed. (4.) You can now add items to the container or tray to obtain just the weight of the contents. (5.) When the container is removed, a negative number will be displayed. Press [] again to zero the scale. Note: The "[]" is the icon on the scale, which didn't copy here. But here's a link to the PDF: http://www.americanweigh.com/images/PDF/SR-Series_manual.pdf (search term "tare").

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!
