    Escali scales are great. I've been using them in my business for a dozen years. You can often find good deals on Ebay but I usually buy scales from Old Will Knott. (Sorry that I can't link the site.)

    If you cook and want to be able to weigh whole pots and dishes, I'd go with one that will weigh up to 11 lbs.

    I also like having the ability to plug them in.

    I got a cheap digital one from Tesco.

    Things you might want to look for:

    1) Ability to put plates/bowls on it.
    2) Zero/Tare function/button and able to display negative numbers (e.g. handy when I stick my pack of raisins on the scale, hit tare, pour some into my hand, stick the bag back on the scale and, unless I want exactly 30 grams, remove the negative symbol and log it).
    3) Accuracy - mine is accurate to 2 grams or 0.1 ounces, which is sufficient for me.
    4) Maximum weight (including any plate/bowl) - mine is OK for 5 kg or 11 pounds.

    Good points! The zero/tare feature is huge. I use it all the time.

    ditto here...mine came with a bowl, has the zero out button, negative numbers is accuarte to withiin 2 g, can switch from grams to oz, kg-lbs up to 11lbs

    Paid 19$ on sale down from 59$.
