Many owners say the compact Escali Primo Digital Multifunctional Scale is the best value in digital food scales. Reviews call it accurate, easy to use and easy to store in a cupboard. It displays weights in decimals -- the measurement professionals prefer -- rather than fractions. If you're looking for the very best kitchen scale on the market, however, the Oxo Good Grips Food Scale With Pull-Out Display (*Est. $50) is reviewers' runaway favorite. Its unique readout can't be obscured by a large bowl or platter, and the backlit display is easy to read.
The best reviews of the Escali Primo can be found at Amazon.com, where it has been rated by more than 700 users. We read a lengthy evaluation at AssociatedContent.com, but the reviewer's credentials are unclear. This scale has not been included in professional reviews.
