Ozeri Digital Kitchen Food Scale

While exercise is an important part of a person’s health journey, keeping track of your food intake is essential. A kitchen scale is the most accurate way to do this.

As you browse available kitchen scale models, look for one that has an LED digital display screen that is easy to read. You also want the unit to be able to convert measurements. The INEVIFIT Digital Kitchen Scale weighs items in grams, ounces, pounds and milliliters and uses a backlight to make the screen readable when the light in the room is dim.

Most of the time, you’re going to place food on your kitchen scale in a bowl or on a plate. The measurement that pops up will include the weight of that bowl or plate. Look for a scale, like the Ozeri Digital Kitchen Food Scale, which has a tare button that subtracts the weight of your container.

Kitchen scales can be left on a counter, however, individuals who live in a small space would appreciate alternative storage options. The Nicewell Digital Food Scale comes with an attached hook for hanging on a wall or inside a cabinet.

Check for any extra features that may make one kitchen scale stand out above another. You’ll find the Escali Kitchen Food Scale has sealed buttons for protection against accidental spills, as well as the option of purchasing a separate dishwasher-safe stainless steel platform cover. There are also models that are available in a wide range of colors, so you can select one that matches your existing kitchen decor.

• It’s often best to use a small bowl or plate when using a kitchen scale. That way, you don’t obstruct the view of the LCD digital display screen.
• Some models automatically shut off after about two minutes. Keep this in mind if you plan on measuring multiple items, as you may want to work quickly or simply turn the unit back on each time.
• Some kitchen scales are set to weigh in two-grams increments, which means accuracy will be an issue if you’re following a precise recipe.
• Should a spill occur, all you need to do is wipe the kitchen scale down with a damp cloth.
• Look at the length of the product’s warranty. You’ll find some units offer warranties that are good for as long as five years.
• The price for kitchen scales doesn’t vary too much. The INEVIFIT Digital Kitchen Scale, Nicewell Digital Food Scale and Escali Kitchen Food Scale all come in around the same price. The Ozeri Digital Kitchen Food Scale is slightly more affordable, as it doesn’t have any special features and doesn’t come with any product warranties like the other models.
