Do you like your food scale?

yes...bought a new one. Amazon Escali Primo. Escali Primo P115C Precision Kitchen Food Scale for Baking and Cooking, Lightweight and Durable Design, LCD Digital Display, Lifetime ltd. Warranty, Chrome

Easy to use and seems to be working fine. Weighs in grams, ounces and lbs and ounces. Tares obviously. One craisin would register for sure dang it No cheating with craisins or other delicious treats!

I have to look for the link it I just got this really nice on on amazon for like $15, and its pink, it also comes in blue and orange!

I have two of OXO Good Grips 11 Pound Stainless Steel Food Scale with Pull-Out Display, one for my house and I left the older one at Mom's. The older one could measure the first two grams, but the new one has problems with anything under 3 g, and when adding foods a gram at a time. On the plus side, it remembers if I used g or oz last, and will boot up with that. Another negative for the new one is that it is now much harder to turn off, as that button has another use. And it goes through batteries in 5-6 weeks. So I can't really recommend it anymore, especially for the price.

Both weigh up to 11 pounds, which will weigh container plus contents of everything I make but gumbo in the dutch oven.

I have Ozeri too. Does everything you need and not expensive

EatSmart Precision Elite Digital Kitchen Scale - 15 lb. Capacity

I have had it for years, love it. Can handle up to 15lbs (so I can weigh a soup pot or crock pot after making a huge batch and get my total amount for the whole recipe, removing the weight of the pot itself, which I get before cooking), tares, weighs in grams/kilograms and ounces/pounds and ounces. Seems to handle the small amounts (1,2,3 grams...) without difficulty. Replaced the batteries (4 AAA) three times in 5 years.

I paid 10$ less than it's currently selling for on Amazon but its been worth the 35$ I spent.

Time for me to get a new food scale. I have had mine for over a decade and the readouts are getting questionable. Do you have one that you love that you would recommend? If so, why do you love it? I want to make sure it can do all the basics - weigh in both ounces and grams, that it is sensitive and accurate to small differences (like weighing a small amount of craisins or small things in grams). and that you can do the thing where you put a plate or cup on it, and can zero it out so it only weighs what you put on the plate.

I'd love to hear your recs!

I've had this EatSmart ESKS-10 since 2015.

• Never had a bit of trouble.
• Batteries last a long time.
• Big stainless steel platform.
• 13-pound capacity so I can weigh my heavy dutch oven filled with stew to get the weight of the food after cooking.
• Even with a big pot on the scale, I can still easily read the large display.
• If I had to replace it I would probably buy the same one again.

In another hobby, I need accuracy to 0.01 grams. It is never required for my cooking or nutrition management but when I want that level of precision I've been using this little Salter scale since May 2018.

The Escali Primo Digital Kitchen Scale. It's a fantastic scale. We've used it multiple times every day for five years and it's a workhorse. It easily switches from grams to oz while weighing and it can hold a pretty heavy dish while taring. Highly recommend! You can get them a BBB or online.

Not when I put peanut butter on it

I have a cheapy from Amazon. It's fine, if a bit small.

Not sure what brand I have. I have been weighing food for many years and eventually after a few years it broke and I got another one.

Both just cheapies from supermarket

One thing I don't like about my current one is the read out bit ( don't know if this has a proper term) is too shallow. So it is hard to read when a full size dinner plate is on it.

I would look for a wider base next time.
