    Excellent kitchen accessory

    This weigh scale is very easy to use and easy to store. I actually keep it in one of my kitchen drawers since it takes up so little room. The scale is accurate, and I like being able to zero out a bowl when I put it on top of the scale to hold whatever I am weighing. I use it to weigh out pasta for casseroles.

    Small, compact, readable display

    This is a nice, compact food scale that is easy to use and has a clear display. The pull out feature of the display lets you use with a larger bowl and still see the measure. Using gram weights also can eliminate the need for measuring cups and spoons for more accurate cooking and baking and less clean-up.
