Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Stainless Food Scale with Pull-Out Display
Customer Review: This Oxo scale takes home the prize!
Summary: 5 Stars
I own 3 other scales-2 of a similar style - battery powered with digital readout and one of the old fashion analog type scales of which I like the look but is not quite as accurate. The other two digital scales do not offer the advantage of being able to pull out the display when a bowl or other item covers the readout (which happens more often than you might think).
I paid more for my other scales and none are as easy to use nor as accurate as this one. In a nutshell, within the confusing world of scales (who would have thought?), save yourself the time and trouble and just start and end with this one. The display will also light when needed and is a nice blue color when on. I place a sheet of plastic wrap over the scale before weighing an item if i don't first place it in a bowl. That way, it's a quick and easy clean up!
Customer Review: Awesome scale
Summary: 5 Stars
Scale has worked great, it's accurate (tested it with nickels).
It's easy to clean since the plate comes off for washing, plate feels secure when it's on too so its not a flimsy attachment.
The pull out display is quite useful when using large bowls, or even if you're just at a bad angle. The gauge on the right that shows total weight is an awesome feature for if you like to just put ingredients and zero the scale to continue weighing things in the same bowl.
Sturdy build and small form factor allows me to take it to my culinary classes and use it as well (I made a wooden case for it though just to protect it on the drive to and from, even with the wood case it still fits easily in my culinary case with all my knives etc.)
Overall a good scale and I'm very happy with the purchase.
Customer Review: OXO Does It Again!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second digital food scale. I loved the first, a Salter 3007, but as another Amazon member warned me I would, I melted it on top of the toaster. It still worked fine, but after the battery need to be replaced, I decided to get a new scale.
Here's why I love the OXO Food Scale:
1. Easy to use. The buttons are simple; no instructions needed to figure stuff out; very intuitive design.
2. Very accurate.
3. Very precise. This things measures single grams. My previous scale measured grams in increments of 5.
4. Pull-Out Display. Very helpful when working with oversized items
5. Uses AAA batteries. No looking for strange batteries
I had to slow down on my baking when the other scale died. I am now back in full swing! Just in time for Thanksgiving!
Customer Review: Easy, Convenient and Dependable--Worth the Cost!
Summary: 5 Stars
I always knew about the importance of measuring food if you are trying to stay within a given calorie range, but I didn't realize how so important it would become for me. This has become one of my most important kitchen tools. How did I get along without it for all these years? It is so easy to use, and so lightweight and easy to store. I love the pullout display so I can read the numbers even when I have a large plate on the scale. Using this scale has given me great insights as to where I have been overeating some foods and undereating others. For anyone who is following a diet plan, this tool is a must if you are serious about keeping portions in control. My husband didn't even grumble about the cost (like I thought he might) when he saw how easy and efficient it was to use. I love it!Customer Review: love this scale

Oxo 1130800 Good Grips Food Scale with Pull-Out Displaylove this scale small and fits on counter top. the front where the on/off pulls out for using a large pot. it will automatically start at zero including your empty bowl. it is very precise. the thing that did bug me was - I was trying to get to a certain weight would slice more peaches and the scale would have turned off. the thing i really appreciated was the back light - it made it so easy to see the numbers, plus the numbers are a nice size. oh yes I bought this from Amazon and was impressed with the quick delivery. they had gotten very bad and i wasn't buying from them now i will.
