Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Boasting one of the most efficient designs, the user-friendly OXO Good Grips Food Scale makes a great gift for novices or seasoned chefs alike. Perfect for weighing all ingredients, the scale features an offset function, so containers won't count in weight totals. Weigh items directly on the platform, on a plate, or in a bowl, and pull the display away from the base to prevent shadowing from large plates and bowls. Accurately measure ingredients when cooking and baking and stick to a diet by weighing portions. An optional backlight makes the display easier to read and a weight indicator shows the capacity left on the scale before maximum capacity is reached. Press the zero button to offset the weight of a container or to set the weight back to zero so you can add additional ingredients. The display features large, easy-to-read numbers which measure in 1/8-ounce and 1-gram increments. The stainless-steel platform can be removed for cleaning but no parts are dishwasher safe. The scale has an 11-pound capacity and requires 4 AAA batteries for power. It doesn't take up much counter space, measuring 11-1/4 by 8-1/2 by 2 inches. A thin profile makes the scale easy to store when not in use.

Watch my 3½-minute video review of the OXO food scale--a product that almost looks like Steve Jobs designed it--and you'll be so sorry you ever trusted that reckless Betty Crocker.

This review is from: OXO Good Grips Stainless Food Scale with Pull-Out Display (Kitchen)

OXO's newest addition to the kitchen counter is this well-designed, practical food scale. The pull-out display makes sense if you have ever used a scale and cannot see the readout with a large container on top. As cool as the design is, the scale is extremely accurate, so much that we use it for a postage scale at home, and it weighs anything from an envelope of under one ounce, to a good sized package for the mail (up to 11 pounds). Weighing ingredients in food is the European way of measuring while cooking, and so much more accurate than volume measurements. Of course it is bi-lingual so you may measure ounces or grams, and it is perfect for converting European recipes

This review is from: OXO Good Grips Stainless Food Scale with Pull-Out Display (Kitchen)

I couldn't agree more with the other reviews thus far. This unit is sleek looking, and the pull out diplay is another ingenious OXO idea. The numbers are large and easy to read. It zeros for weighing multiple items with a simple button push, and the metal surface of the scale can be easily removed for clean up.

I've found this little machine to be quite intuitive, you can set it up with the included batteries and get right to work without so much as a glance at the instructions.
