  How do you transfer the food from the cutting board to the measuring cup?

    You put it in the cup. Which also measures it. You don’t have to press any buttons or tare anything. You just keep adding broccoli until cup is full.

  Put empty cutting board on scales. Press tare. Put broccoli on cutting board. You have measurement of just broccoli without taking them off cutting board.

    You don’t NEED to do all that with a cup. You know how you measure a cup of brocoli? You put it in the damn cup. You don’t need to move the broccoli off the cutting board or tare your cutting board before cutting or even press any buttons. Take broccoli, add to cup. Stop when cup is full.
