Product Description
OXO's user-friendly food scale with pull-out display is perfect for weighing all ingredients. Weigh items directly on the platform, on a plate or in a bowl, and pull the display away from the base to prevent shadowing from large plates and bowls. Accurately measure ingredients when cooking and baking and stick to a diet by weighing portions. An optional backlight makes the display easier to read and a weight indicator shows the capacity left on the Scale before maximum capacity is reached. Press the zero button to offset the weight of a container or to set the weight back to zero so you can add additional ingredients. The display features large, easy-to-read numbers which measure in 1/8-oz (imperial) and 1-g (metric) increments. The stainless steel platform can be removed for cleaning but no parts are dishwasher safe. The scale has an 11-lb capacity and 4 AAA batteries are included. Measures in 1/8-oz (imperial) and 1-g (metric) increments for greater accuracy Easy-to-read, large display numbers Stainless steel platform can be removed for cleaning Thin profile allows for easy storage

5 out of 5 stars great kitchen scale   December 2, 2008
walkerweir (Central Pennsylvania)
Great scale. Easy to store, clean, use. Has lbs. and grams with a tare system. Has a "pull out" display if weighing a larger item. Can weigh up to 11 pounds. I'm very please with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone needing a simple to use, straight forward, no nonsense, small scale.


4 out of 5 stars Expensive, but worth it   November 24, 2008

An accurate, compact set of scales that's easy to use, and functions well. Missing 1 star purely due to the price.


5 out of 5 stars OXO Does It Again!   November 7, 2008

This is my second digital food scale. I loved the first, a Salter 3007, but as another Amazon member warned me I would, I melted it on top of the toaster. It still worked fine, but after the battery need to be replaced, I decided to get a new scale.

Here's why I love the OXO Food Scale:

1. Easy to use. The buttons are simple; no instructions needed to figure stuff out; very intuitive design.
2. Very accurate.
3. Very precise. This things measures single grams. My previous scale measured grams in increments of 5.
4. Pull-Out Display. Very helpful when working with oversized items
5. Uses AAA batteries. No looking for strange batteries

I had to slow down on my baking when the other scale died. I am now back in full swing! Just in time for Thanksgiving!

I was a bit apprehensive to spend this much on a scale, but I have since used the two main features multiple times and so I think it has paid for itself. The pull out display is very useful and the zero function is fantastic. If there is a downside, it would be that the display updates with a very slight lag so as I pour more of an ingredient into a bowl, the measurement isn't instant. So just add more of your ingredient gradually and you'll be fine.

I bought this scale because Cook's Illustrated recommended it. As usual, Cook's was right; it is really a great gadget.
