Product Description

Amazon.com Review

To achieve gourmet results in the kitchen, a recipe often requires precise ingredient measurements down to the very last grain of salt. In such cases, at home or on the road, Polder’s pocketsize digital scale is the perfect tool.

The petite device features a removable tray that holds ingredients and doubles as a lid for compact storage or travel. The scale displays both metric and imperial systems, weighing articles up to 500 grams or 1 pound respectively, and monitors weights in 0.1-gram or .005-ounce increments. An add-and-weigh function allows chefs to combine different ingredients for one comprehensive weight--ideal for mixing spices such as cardamom and cumin to create garam masala for an Indian recipe. Powered by included, long-life lithium batteries, the scale automatically shuts off when idle for an extended time period. Polder offers a one-year warranty for defective parts or craftsmanship. The scale measures 4-1/2 by 3 by 1 inches, and weighs 1 pound when shipped. --Jessica Reuling

3.0 out of 5 stars Working well until first problem, September 5, 2005

This review is from: Polder Pocket Size Digital Scale (Kitchen)

This is quite honestly one of the best scales I've used, however be warned, that Polder is exceedingly difficult to reach, so if you have any difficulties at all with this scale that you cannot resolve on your own, Polder is not there to help you. They have a link to help/contact/faq on their website but it leads nowhere, in addition they do not have a valid email address. I now am stuck with the error message "out2" which I have no idea what means, and I have been trying to contact polder for days at [phone]. So all in all its a good, useful, accurate scale, until any problem arises.

Great compact size and very accurate reading. I use it for my bodybuilding diet, to measure with I eat and its easy to use and very accurate. Great buy

Update: April 2007

I've had this scale for over 1 year now and is still working great. No problems and never even replaced the batteries yet. I use this about 6 times a day measuring all my food. I highly recommend this scale.

UPDATE: September 2007

The scale broke. RIP

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Scale!, August 24, 2006

After reading over the reviews on this and a couple other scales, I settled on this one and I am very happy I did! It's pocket size has made eating out so much easier. And it's digital readout is absolutely wonderful. I fix many meals at a time and seperate into smaller 'serving size' packets. This scale has made measuring out 2 oz of protein so much easier. The reset key is great too. I can use either the top as a measuring tray or my own plates. What a wonderful kitchen gadget.
