Food scale?

AlliBarlik

I am wanting to invest in a decent, not too expensive, food scale. I have a cheepo one, but would like digital.
Any thoughts on a good one? Checking Amazon but feel overwhelmed by choices. Sorry if this is already a thread. I looked but I can't seem to find it. I'd appreciate the link if someone has it.

I bought mine at Wal-Mart for between 20 and 30 dollars. I like it because it has multiple ways to weight. Grams, Ounces and two others. It has a way to accomodate "tear" (the weight of a container) and the glass plateform is easy to clean. They had cheaper ones but this had really good features and was worth a little extra. I would like it if the G and the OZ display were a little larger but I can see it if I squint.

Just bought one at Target $35.00. I love it. It has a metal removal dish easy to weigh food and clean.

The name of it is Taylor.

I used a cheap scale too before splurging on the Joseph Joseph shell digital. Here's a link that compares Joseph Joseph and others: http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304299304577347690270146270?mg=reno64-wsj&url=http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304299304577347690270146270.html

I got mine on Amazon for 10 0r 15 bucks. Something like that. It is digital, and it works very well. You just have to look around the site a little bit.

You are awesome! Thanks. It's my birthday, I'm gonna treat myself with one.

Costco had an excellent electronic one. Otherwise you can't go wrong with the Amazon reviews. The one feature I would make sure you have is the Zero/Tare function.

I just bought a Cuisinart. I like it well enough. I don't really have a 101 uses for it though.

Sounds like a great idea for a birthday gift for yourself. I would make sure it was digital. I have another one that is not and can be very misleading

I would also make sure that the button or switch to change from grams to ounces is on top and available while you are weighing. I had one but the switch was on the bottom and I always forgot to flip it when I needed to change to ounces/grams.

I went on Amazon and filtered by ones rated 4 stars and up, which cut the number of options from twenty-five thousand down to three thousand. Then I just scrolled through the top few pages looking for ones I liked the looks of.

I wound up with the Ozeri black glass one.

Walmart $18 work's great and I love it. You can switch between ounces and grams, has the Zero/Tare function, and it weighs up to 10 lbs of food.

I bought one from Bed, Bath and Beyond for about $15 with. discount coupon. Mine is a The Sharper Image scale with a removable stainless steel surface that sits over a glass platform. The stainless steel is washable and helps limit contamination of the scale measurement surface. It is digital, has both English and metric readouts, as well as tare functions.

I love it. There are some surprises in the rounding that some labels use to give you calories.

I got this one from Amazon a few weeks ago: http://www.amazon.com/Ozeri-Digital-Multifunction-Kitchen-Elegant/dp/B004164SRA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1393203405&sr=8-2&keywords=food+scale

It was out of stock when I ordered it, but I still had it in less than a week. So far I really like it. Weighing my food has helped me see that I was overestimating portions, which explains why I had stopped losing weight. I'm down two pounds since I started using it!

I got one at Aldi for $9.99 two weeks ago. It is like this: http://aldishopper.blogspot.com/2011/09/review-kitchen-living-digital-kitchen.html

Ounces, grams, solids, liquids, zero, tare, all the good stuff. Works great.

I bought mine at the grocery store for $15.
Near the cooking utensils and plastic wear etc.

It was there.. it was cheap. I got it. It does the job.
Lots of options but I mostly weigh in grams and kgs.

That's the one I have it works well. Had it two years and two batteries.

I've have this one for over a year with no complaints:

Random no-name brand but works fantastic and cheap!

Had this one for three years and I love it. Unless I'm mistaken, it actually weighs pounds and kilos, too. I know mine has four different weights.

That's mine, too! 10.00 and I use it to weigh my mail. Double win!:drinker:
