Product Description

Amazon.com Review

There’s something pleasantly uncomplicated about a mechanical scale, with no buttons to push or batteries to replace. This basic kitchen model comes with a detachable rectangular weighing container measuring 7 by 5 by 3 inches, generous enough to hold several cups of chopped vegetables or flour. To use, simply position the container on top of the scale and turn the knob on the back until the dial needle registers zero. Add and weigh food as needed. Resetting to zero after each ingredient is added enables an entire recipe to be combined in one bowl. If acidic or strongly colored foods such as oranges, curries, and tomatoes are to be weighed, it’s a good idea to line the container with plastic wrap first to prevent discoloration. The container is dishwasher-safe, but should not be used in a microwave. The 3-3/4-inch round dial shows both imperial and metric, in 1/2-ounce increments up to 2 pounds, and 10-gram increments up to 1 kilogram. For convenient storage, the scale fits neatly inside the container. Salter covers the scale with a 10-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

Easy to set up, easy to calibrate, easy to clean. The scale is plenty accurate. It's marked in 10g increments and my test with a 50g weight was spot on. We're completely satisfied with this purchase, and feel this product is a very good value.

This scale was exactly as advertised. Very easy to read, and the increments are clearly marked. Totally accurate for the job, short order cook in a snack/munchie operation. A snap to calibrate, and the large tub is excellent for holding the products.
