Ok. I am going to purchase a food scale, but there are so many kinds. I'd like to get an idea of which is the best, most accurate one to get. Also, when I'm weighing salad stuff, I'll need something big enough to weigh it in. Will the scale tare to adjust for the weight of a bowl?

Thanks

    I've seen some on Amazon, but I don't know which is best. Also, WW sells one for about $30. These are basic oz scales, right? I just need one that'll tare the container I set on it.

    I don't have a link but mine looks exactly like @CincyNeid's except the brand is Escali. I think it was $26.00 from Walmart.com and works great.

    My home scale is a StarFrit from Canadian Tire (hardware store) and my travel one is Taylor from Walmart. Both have a tare feature.

    I bought mine for $10 at my local grocery store 3 or so years ago, I haven't had problems with it. It weighs in grams and has a tare function,it also has ounces, but i never weigh in ounces.

    Mine is a cheap, digital food scale from Ebay. It gets the job done, and I've had it for almost a year now. No complaints. It was listed as the "CAMRY 5kg 11lbs Electronic Kitchen Food Scale Food Ultra Slim Stainless Steel". I payed $8.88 for it.

    No walmart in your area? You could pick one up today. And if you don't like it, easy returns.
    Targets, kmarts have them. I think I have even seen them at CVS and aldi. Harder to find a large store that does NOT sell them.

    Mine is the starfrit one (from CDN Tire) .... works great.... easy to put a bowl on it and set it to zero - and to change the measurements from gm to oz.... love it!
