Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Measure and add ingredients precisely with this handy kitchen scale. The scale's rotating dial weighs food in 1-ounce increments and eliminates guesswork in recipes that call for ingredients by weight. A storage case doubles as the measuring bowl, which fits snugly atop the scale. Spring-activated, the scale features both standard and metric measurements, so you can chop up a pound of leeks or dice 200 kilograms of scallions. Hand washing recommended. --Emily Bedard

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent scale, November 12, 2000

This scale is compact and efficient and will do a good job. The facts that it has both the standard and metric measuring systems and that it has an adjustable 0 (meaning no math) are great! However, because the scale is circular it is a little difficult to quickly read it. This is the only reason why I did not give this scale 5 stars. I also really like the removable bowl-- it makes measuring less messy. I would buy this scale again if I had the choice.

1.0 out of 5 stars STOP!! DON'T BUY!!, January 18, 2001

I was sincerely disappointed. This scale will give you different weights depending on I don't know what. Sort of magic but no good. Furthermore, it sometimes won't let you weigh more than 2 lbs. Go and figure why they sell this stuff...

1.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for, November 20, 2002

This scale is completely inaccurate. I compared it with an older spring-type scale, and it was always off by more than a few ounces. The dial with the weights on it spins way too easily, making it almost impossible to NOT move it after you set the thing to zero.
