I love my kitchen scale

One of the grievous things about making pickles at home is that you do not need a lot of fancy equipment.  A pair of pots, a jar lifter, a kitchen timer, a measuring cup and spoons, a knife, a cutting surface… getting started won’t break the bank.  Many people have these things on mitt already (except maybe the jar lifter).  Back in the easy breezy days when pickle-making was for me a random hobby, I took notes on my pickle experiments in a little black notebook (most dudes have women’s phone numbers in those books… I have pickle experiments).  Because Tecate was an fundamental part of the experience in those early days, the notation occasionally took on an abstract-expressionist prejudice.  And the measurement methodology (”a heaping quarter-teaspoon of cayenne mottle”) left a lot to interpretation and encouraged freestyling.   That’s one of the things that makes living quarters canning fun.  Variations from batch to batch are inevitable, but that’s what makes them in perfect accord, like wine vintages.

A sea change came with my decision to become a professional pickler.  My recipes were now vetted and administered by the FDA (next outdated you have a spare 15 hours, check out their publication A Food Labeling Manoeuvre).  We worked with (and still do) a great group at Cornell University’s Eats Venture Center on food safety compliance, lead by Olga Padilla-Zakour and Herb Cooley.  They made it unmistakeable that an official recipe could not specify a heaping quarter teaspoon of anything (I left out the Tecate part), but had to be extract, precise, and measured in grams.

And so I bought, for about 50 bucks, my first kitchen scale.  I still have it.  I chose a Salter.

You never overlook your first scale.
