Which kitchen scale is best?

I have one of those. It works great. It, like almost all other five kg scales, has a resolution of one gram. that might or might not be a problemif you want to measure small amounts of things, but to measure typical stuff it's fine. If you need to measure less than a gram, or less than a few with great accuracy, you'll need a second scale. If you really want to spend more, look at the newish myweight kd8000, which has baker's percentages as a feature. (I have no experience with this particular scale, but I've used other myweigh scales, and they're all very good.)

Kitchen scales

Hi!

I've bought a couple of kitchen scales, all digital and all made by Salter. They work well. I think most of the brands of scales out today are good.

II just have two thoughts. First, I really like digital scales as opposed to analog. I just think digital scales are more accurate and easier to read.

My other thought is to consider the position of the readout relative to what you're weighing and how readable it is. Maybe an example will help explain what I'm trying to say. One of the scales I bought was completely flat (you can see it at this link at amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Salter-11-Pound-Stainless-Steel-Digital-Kitchen/dp/B0000YWUW2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1231688813&sr=1-1 ). The problem with that is that you can't see the readout if you had an even medium size plate on it because the readout is obscured by the plate. This issue can make it kinda hard to use! I've found scales with the readout position offset in some way, lower than the plane of the scale or off to the side, are easier to use.

Good luck!

I have an OXO scale that has a detachable faceplate you can pull away from the base making it easy to read when you're using a plate or larger bowl. It is also back lit which makes the reading very easy to see.

I've seen that kind of scale which my aunt uses in her business. And I see that it's great.

Really? We use OXO scale and yes it's nice and very modern.. You should try it Laser..

I have an Escali that I like very much. It goes to show that more expensive doesn't always mean better. In restaurants, we used a digital scale by Detecto. Very rugged and easy to use. If I wanted to spend $200-$300 on a 5kg scale, I'd definitely go with that!
