01The small print

Editorial Policy

This page sets out how the Escali catalog is written, so you can weigh it against anything else you read about kitchen scales and thermometers.

Where the figures come from

Capacities, resolutions, probe lengths, degree ranges and pack counts are read out of our product data, not typed from memory. A card that cannot show real figures does not go up.

What never gets printed

An accuracy figure we did not find in the product data. A safe cooking temperature we did not read in a federal document. A certificate nobody issued us. Where a claim needs an outside authority, that authority is named on our updates page with the date we read it.

Photographs

Every frame is looked at beside the piece it claims to show before it goes up, and a frame that argues with its caption does not run. Promotional banners with slogans printed into the pixels do not run either.

Customer words

The quotes on the front page are real reviews of these pieces, as their writers typed them. Star counts and dates stand as they were on the day we read them.

Corrections

A number that argues with the box, a photograph that shows the wrong colourway, a sentence that reads as a promise: gauge@myescali.org, with the page you found it on. We fix it and say what changed.
