Kitchen Scales: Reviews

With its removable stainless steel platform and large buttons, the OXO Good Grips is the best designed digital kitchen scale. Reviewers say it's accurate, with unique display that pulls away from the scale, so large… platters can't overshadow the readout. This food scale has an 11-pound capacity, tare function (which adjusts measurements to subtract the weight of the container) and a backlit display. Some owners wish this scale displayed weights in decimals rather than fractions (some professionals and enthusiasts prefer decimals).

It's neither as stylish nor as sturdy as the stainless steel OXO Good Grips kitchen scale, but the plastic Escali Primo food scale is just as accurate, reviews say. The Primo scale has an 11-pound capacity, an… auto-shutoff feature and a tare function. And it comes in a range of kicky colors, including aqua, pink and orange. Owners say that the Primo converts from grams to ounces quickly and stores easily in a cupboard. It displays weights in decimals (which can be a pain if you're used to fractions) and the display isn't backlit, so it can be harder to read.
