Me too. Unfortunately I managed to kill my MyWeigh somehow, maybe they
were overloaded while in the cupboard. The scales I have now aren't so
good at small amounts. They are accurate to 1 g but only if you put it
on all at once, you can get about 5 grams of error at least if you ad
things slowly. I've seen quite a few different scales like this,
including the Alessi ones which are really not cheap at all. I get
round this error by adding the salt pot lid to the scale, zero it,
take it off, add the salt and return the lid to the scale then repeat
for adjustment, It's not great but works well.

I rarely bake the same amount of bread each recipe so I never get used
to guess the exact amount. I guess the amount of starter, I can work
around that.

I recently bought my Mother in law some Salter scales that didn't do
this and they were only £20 as apposed to the £35 I paid for both the
Hanson book scale and the MyWeigh.

When adding small amounts and the read-out doesn't change, I touch the
platform briefly.
The weight then shows correctly.
