What food scales do you all recommend? Bonus points if it is on Amazon and less than $20!

The one that weighs in grams, big enough to put a plate on it, an has a tare feature. If you want, I could browse Amazon for you?1

This is the one I have. Works pretty well, though sometimes it gets a little wonky between grams and ounces (the setting for one or the other is on the bottom of the scale, so I’m guessing it gets bumped from time to time.)

Out of curiosity, what is the “tare” feature???0 -
The tare feature resets the scale back to zero so you can weigh something, tare it, and weigh something else instead of having to keep adding the grams/ounces together.2

You can put a container on the scale, like a bowl, and hit the tare button to remove the weight of the bowl and weigh the actual ingredients without having to do any subtracting.
