    My Kitchen Scale Just Got a Sidekick and My Baking is Grateful!

    My relationship with kitchen scales has been a journey. I started with a basic digital one, which was fine for measuring flour by the cup (converted to grams, because I was trying to be fancy). Then I got into baking, real baking, the kind that requires measuring yeast in amounts smaller than a sneeze.

    Very hardy

    I ordered this one because I thought I killed my last one while making sourdough bread. This scale is my husband's pride and joy and one of the only things in the kitchen that he claims as his for making pizza. Imagine my panic when the scale stopped working.

    Looks Good. Works Good. I Love It!

    This digital kitchen scale is stylish, light weight and seems to get all the measurements right! I'm happy with the battery life and ease of use. Cleaning is easy enough, since i'm not all that sure how much easier it could be.

    Barely decent until it stops working after a few cleaning sprays

    When I got this kitchen scale 3 years ago, it seem "decent" to weight food. The main platform seemed to have accuracy issues where the food fluctuated between 5-8 grams of a 500 grams item ( bowl + food).
