Useful for measuring fluid or dry ingredients, this anolog scale has a maximum capacity of 5 pounds or 2.2 kilograms of ingredients in precise 1-ounce or 25-gram increments. The scale comes with a large plastic mixing jug with high sides for stirring batters or ingredients, measuring in the same container, and pouring into a baking dish via the convenient spout. The interior sides of the calibrated jug are marked with measurements in cups, liters, pints, and fluid ounces so the jug can also be used as a measuring cup. The jug is microwave-safe for melting butter or warming milk and dishwasher-safe for easier cleaning. An add and weigh function lets cooks continue to add ingredients while the bowl is on a scale and the scale still produces accurate results. Cooks can even weigh ingredients individually without removing any items from the bowl by simply resetting the dial to zero and placing new ingredients in the bowl. For compact storage, the jug flips over and fits neatly over the scale. Salter guarantees this scale for 5 years from the date of purchase. --Cristina Vaamonde

This review is from: Salter 5-Pound Add and Weigh Kitchen Scale with Jug, White (Kitchen)

This is such a clever little thing, and you really can't beat it for the price. Salter makes quality products that they really stand by. It may not be as fancy as the stainless steel, glass-topped electronic models, but you'll never worry about your battery dying. When they say "they don't make 'em like they used to," this is the kind of thing they are talking about. Easy to use, set and fill. It is all plastic, very light, hard to damage, and versatile. The pour lip is also very helpful.

Cons: It weighs a max of about 5lbs and is not the most accurate scale to read (the red weight line is somewhat behind the number scale and, depending on which eye you're looking with, it can change an oz or two). It makes me a little nervous not to be fanatically precise about my measurements, but then, I honestly have never had a recipe go wrong with this little guy.

It's also not the most stylish piece of equipment, but when counter space is at a premium, its good to know that the scale fits inside and bowl for easy storage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very handy scales!, March 26, 2008

I love these scales! They're easy to use, and have the benefit of having both imperial and metric measurements. Also, the jug is microwave and dishwasher safe, virtually indestructible, and can be used for a multitude of other tasks, such as making porridge or sauces in the microwave, mixing ingredients, etc. I also use mine to collect juice from my juicer.

The scales also take up very little storage space as when not in use, the jug will sit upside down on the scales, to serve as a cover.

This handy scale takes the guesswork out of ingredient weights in the kitchen. I particularly like the movable measuring ring; it allows the setting of tare weight instantly and makes weighing the subsequent additions a snap.
