Yes, mine works this way too. It's a very simple scale to use -- one switch and one button to take the tare of whatever container you're using. The switch is 3 position, with one giving English and the other metric weights. I haven't gotten the name, model number, and serial off it yet or I'd have sent it along already.

I didn't do that when weighing the peanut butter though. I just spread plastic wrap out on the surface and piled the peanut butter on top of that. Then I piled it into my bowl from the plastic wrap. I don't have to be that exacting with a recipe. Ceramic glazes, though, are not so forgiving. But I would have a dedicated scale for that if I were still making ceramics.

I should think that would be the way to do it.
