I would suspect teaching Willow (https://github.com/toverainc/willow#readme) to do that would be much more reasonable in a kitchen setup, for the exact reason guhidalg mentioned: who wants to use oil soaked hands to touch something in the kitchen?
Love this. I would buy this if it was IP-whatever waterproof rated so I can periodically wash off the oils and flours that _will_ get caked on this thing.
If this thing was paired with a mass scale at 1g accuracy with a dynamic range of like 0 to 5kg, I would pay like $50 for this.
