Advice for Buying a Food Scale?

I also bought the glass topped scale from Walmart. Mine is a Better Homes & Garden brand (BHG) and comes with a small booklet that contains codes for many, many foods. Using these codes you can determine macro values of the foods listed. IOW, if you choose potato (baked) then place a baked potato on the scale and select the corresponding code for that particular food, you can see the calorie, carb, fiber, protein content by choosing the corresponding button on the scale. I really like it. Being able to Tare between adding additional foodstuffs to a bowl is very convenient also of course. I think this one was originally $35 but was on sale for $25 (if I remember right).

We bought one from Target, Its made by Taylor, its electronic (Only buy an electronic one, we bought a really cheap analog scale, it was way off and we didnt know it until we got this one) it has a tare feature, measures fluid ounces, actual weight ounces, pounds, milliliters, and grams. Its great and I think it was $29.00 , We love it soooo much.

Mine isnt the stainless steel of glass top one, Ours is the bamboo top and easy to clean, just wipe and done.

I have the exact same one. Love it. And it looks nice too.

my experience is that scales break, buy the cheapest one that does what you want
i chose scales with:
- tare function
- flat easy clean surface that i can put any container on
- choice of units 0.1g and oz

I bought this one and it works great. If the plate I put on the scale is too big so I can't see the screen I just put a bowl on the scale and the plate on top so it's high enough for me to see the screen clearly. No problem at all.
