Customer Review: The Perfect Kitchen Scale
Summary: 5 Stars
In my opinion, this is the perfect kitchen scale. You get the sense that an actual cook was involved in its design.
First off, and I guess most important, it's dead on accurate and can weigh items up to 11 pounds, in 1/8-ounce and 1-gram increments. Instead of displaying weight in decimal notation, which can be confusing to the average cook, it reads out in fractions. For example, instead of displaying 4.375 ounces, it displays 4-3/8 ounces. Like I said, it seems like an actual cook was involved in the design, rather than a room full of engineers (nothing against engineers, that's how I make a living)! If you prefer kilograms instead of pounds and ounces, it has a button that allows you to switch back and forth.
With large numbers and a bright blue backlight, it's easy to read in all conditions. To make it even easier to read when weighing items that extend over the base, you can detach the display and move it up to 4 inches from the scale. This means you can weigh items up to 16 inches in diameter and still clearly see the display.
It also has a tare weight function, which allows you to place an empty container on the scale and hit the tare button to reset the display to zero. This is very handy when adding ingredients to a bowl. For example, suppose you're making a recipe that calls for a cup of flour and cup of milk. You put your mixing bowl on the scale, press the tare weight button, which resets the display to zero and then add 5 ounces of flour. Press the tare weight button again and add 8 ounces of milk. No measuring cups to clean and no worrying about how tightly you packed the flour in the cup. Once you get used to measuring ingredients by weight, instead of volume, you'll never go back. It's accurate, fast and easy.
After several months of frequent almost daily use, the Oxo scale has performed flawlessly. If something were to happen to it, I'd immediately order a new one.
Description of OXO Good Grips Stainless Food Scale with Pull-Out Display
The user-friendly OXO Good Grips Food Scale with Pull-Out Display is perfect for weighing all ingredients. Weigh items directly on the platform, on a plate or in a bowl, and pull the display away from the base to prevent shadowing from large plates and bowls. Accurately measure ingredients when cooking and baking and stick to a diet by weighing portions. An optional backlight makes the display easier to read and a weight indicator shows the capacity left on the scale before maximum capacity is reached. Press the zero button to offset the weight of a container or to set the weight back to zero so you can add additional ingredients. The display features large, easy-to-read numbers which measure in 1/8-ounce and 1-gram increments. The stainless steel platform can be removed for cleaning but no parts are dishwasher safe. The Scale has an 11-pound capacity and 4AAA batteries are included.Scales
