Weighing up the Smart Scales

 

 Tablets have long been considered a useful chef's companion for downloading recipes but now they are being pushed further, into the realm of food preparation.

The idea is to help consumers to be more informed about what they are putting on their plate.
 Technology correspondent Richard Taylor weighs up the pros and cons of having the app as a kitchen companion.
