Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Deceivingly airy in appearance, the Soehnle digital food scale combines durable construction with easy operation and incredibly accurate measurements. Designed with a stable three-leg base and an unbreakable glass platform, the scale delivers readings in a mere 2-1/2 seconds. Functions are controlled with a soft-touch button panel, and readings appear—in 2-gram or .1-ounce increments—on a LCD monitor. The tare function is straightforward, and the scale's technology allows for add-and-weigh use. A simple dial on one of the legs switches the scale from gram to pound/ounce readings. Hard-wearing without clunkiness, the scale measures 9 by 9 by 3-1/2 inches. It includes a shut-off function that activates after two minutes of idleness and has an 11-pound (5000-gram) capacity. Soehnle backs it up with a 5-year warranty; batteries are included. --Emily Bedard

This review is from: Soehnle Triple Digital Food Scale (Kitchen)

I almost bought the Soehnle Futura (11lb max) scale, but the price and the reviews about the difficutly of switching from Metric to Imperial turned me off towards it. How lucky I was to find this scale. It is nearly $40 USD less than the Soehnle Futura (11lb max) and has a dial on top of the leg to switch from Metric to Imperial, making it very easy to switch back and forth. The scale is extremely accurate and easy to use and also can weigh up to 11 pounds. The glass top twists off, making clean-up very quick. The scale itself is very lightwieght. I have now been weighing out flour, sugar, ect., for recipes and the results are fantastic. Every cook needs this scale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice scale, July 24, 2004

This review is from: Soehnle Triple Digital Food Scale (Kitchen)

The 3 things I like best about this scale are:

1. The 11 lbs. capacity.
2. The simple add-and-weigh feature.
3. It's attractive.

There are other things to like. The scale is very accurate. It's very easy to switch between grams and ounces, although I only use grams. It seems to be very fast - after I reset to zero, using the add-and-weight feature, before I can grab my next ingredient the scale is ready to go.

I've started weighing all my food due to better accuracy. You can measure a cup of cereal and get an estimate, but I've found it to be a very poor estimate. I now weigh all my dry food because it is so easy and much more accurate. The add-and-weigh feature makes it quick to weigh multiple ingredients all in the same bowl. You turn on the scale, set your bowl on the scale, press the on/off switch, then the scale resets to 0 so that the weight of your bowl is not measured. Add your first ingredient and you know the exact weight of that ingredient. Press on/off again and the scale is reset to zero. Add your second ingredient and now you know it's exact weight. I know this is detailed for those who've used scales before, but I highly recommend this feature for those who are just starting to get accurate measurements of what they eat. I find this feature indispensable.

Whatever scale you choose, weigh your food! Take a moment to set up a simple spreadsheet and you can exactly track things such as calories, calories from fat, saturated fat, fiber, protein, sugar, sodium, cholesterol, etc. With this scale and a spreadsheet, it just takes a few seconds and you can see the true breakdown of what you are eating.

Considered the Futura but this scale has a smaller footprint and is easy to switch between grams and ounces/pounds with the button right on top. Glass on top screws off for cleaning. I like it and have had no problems in the 5 months owned it.
