Abstract: We generalise Milnor-Thurston's kneading theory to the setting of piecewise continuous and monotone interval maps with weights. We define a weighted kneading determinant calD(t) and establish combinatorially two kneading identities, one with the cutting invariant and one with the dynamical zeta function. For the pressure logho1 of the weighted system, playing the role of entropy, we prove that calD(t) is non-zero when |t|<1/ho1 and has a zero at 1/ho1. Furthermore, our map is semi-conjugate to an analytic family ht,0<t<1/ho1 of Cantor PL maps converging to an interval PL map h1/ho1 with equal pressure
