This product is a great tool in the kitchen. It will recalculate ingredients in a recipe to double the recipe or to reduce the recipe (make 1/2 the amount). Oxo Good Grips Food Scale with Pull-Out DisplayCustomer Review: died within a month of purchase
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this scale for my kitchen at home and an Escali primo for weighing portions at work. The Escali is still going strong, but the OXO died after less than a month. Replacing the batteries did not help. I am very disappointed, since the OXO cost quite a bit more than the Escali and I'd come to rely on OXO as having high quality products.
One thing I did not like about the OXO before it died was that it would time out faster than I could add things to a casserole dish before baking. So I'd have to turn it back on and re-tare as I added things. Not a huge deal, but less convenient than using the Escali.
The OXO decided to break just before I needed it to weigh my portions at a BBQ. Fortunately I had a Polder spring-loaded scale I could use as a backup. Less accurate, but at least I had some kind of estimate to track.
I ordered an Escali to replace the OXO.
Customer Review: Terrific Kitchen Food Scale
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd been toying with the idea of getting a digital scale for a long time. Some time ago, America's Test Kitchen (PBS) did a product comparison of lots of kitchen digital scales on their show. This is the model they recommended, but I was still reluctant to fork over the $$$.
More and more, however, ATK has been showcasing recipes in which they weighed ingredients, rather than measured them. It pushed me over the edge-- I bought this scale.
I can't say enough about how glad I am that I spent the money. There's nothing like working with the right tools, and that's true for everything in life, not just cooking! The scale has come in handy for a multitude of uses. It has met and exceeded my expectations, which were high to begin with.
It's especially fun to weigh our portions (even on the yummy Baked Ruffles to go alongside a lunchtime sandwich!) and see how much we are eating!
I can also recycle our old postal scale, since this thing is dynamite! (and easier to use!)
Customer Review: Awesome Scale
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great scale that is easy to use, has a pull out display. That means that any size bowl can fit on this and you can read the display. There is also a nice blue back lit display that makes it easy to read.
Highly recommend this product. Was Cook's Illustrated recommended scale and I can see why.
