What scale do you use for bike parts measurements? Are the Park Tool table top scale the "standard?"

I go down to our local truck stop / weigh station and ride onto the scales.

Subtracting my body weight, it says my bike is somewhere between -112 and + 440 kilograms. Winning!

Seriously, yeah, the Park Scale (hanging and table top) is great. I also have a quality food scale I use for small stuff until my wife yells at me.

I wonder whether the Park Tool scale is good for food measurements? Maybe I can get away with buying it for the kitchen and weight my bike parts in the middle of the night.

I just wanted to know and got myself a luggage scale at the hardware store. The slicer with the cheap scale weighs 7090g.
