5.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Scale, January 6, 2009

By	EOS "La Cuisiniere" (Berkeley, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This little scale is extremely easy to use, easy to clean and easy for me to read without my glasses! I am a professional cook who tests a lot of recipes. Ingredient proportions by weight are the most accurate--especially in baking. The 11 pound capacity of this scale makes it perfect for weighing small batch commercial test batches of dough (5 to 10 pounds). I use it for portion control recipes and portioning out bulk items. I also use the metric measure to translate European recipes.

For the home cook:
The scale uses a small footprint on the counter, it is easy to clean, super easy to use and comes in a bunch of sexy colors. No kitchen should be without a scale and the Escali is the best non-commercial scale I've used.

A bit of advice, as with all scales--handle it gingerly, don't bang it around--don't DROP it. Try to store it where you will be using it. The less a scale gets moved around the longer it lasts. This applies to any scale--mechanical or digital. But digital scales (commercial ones too) tend to be especially delicate when it comes to banging them around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome little scale., March 2, 2009

By	S. Desharnais (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I agree with all of the other people who said that they wish that the display was either in a different place or on an angle. Other than that, it's great. I love the tare function, it's great because you can just keep putting individual foods on the plate and zeroing it out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Escali scale, May 29, 2009

By	P. Ramos - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent value for moderate accuracy & measuring. Has good features and options. My only negative is that the scale platform is "exposed". Care is needed to not "damage" & lose the accuracy in measuring.
