Want to start using a scale - Any recommendations?

Hi all --

Any food scale recommendations?

I'd like something that has a bowl and is not pricey (hoping for something under $20).

Thanks in advance!

Almost any cheap one will do. Make sure it has a tare function (most will). I use this one:

No bowl - I put my bowl (plate, whatever) on it & hit the tare button.....resets to zero so I'm just weighing food.

This one is great! It's not under 20 bucks though. The pull out display is wondeful. If you put a dinner plate or large bowl on the scale and it covers the display you just pull it out and get on with weighing. https://oxo.com/5lb-food-scale-w-pull-out-display#black

Bowl is not very useful. You should be able to put your plate, tare, add food, tare, add next food etc. Any digital scale can do so long as it has tare. Mine costs £10 and is great.

Mine is great (and on sale atm for $12):

Had it for a year now with no issues.

Find one that has a tare button and can measure in both grams and ounces.

Bowl is useless, it'll just be something else to wash. Better to place the plate or bowl you'll be using on the scale, then tare it to zero and weigh the food.
