Kitchen scale recommendations

[buffalobo]

As title says, looking for new kitchen scale. Prefer non electric. Accuracy and capacity(10lbs+) most important.

I know you said Non- Electric however I like a scale that you can zero. This way you're able to put a tray, wax or parchment paper on the scale to minimize cross contamination. Plus it's easier to handle meats, poultry etc from a tray than the scale.

I have an older sunbeam digital that's worked off the same 9v for the last 2 years.

Any idea on accuracy and durability of the Taylor? It would be just right for couple years til ready for commercial scale.

D) All the above.

Want my recipes to be accurate and at least fake it with portion control. Older I get the more doc and Mrs bo hassle me about weight.

I hear ya. Good luck.

I have one similar to that. Whole top surface is glass, easy to clean. Thin, easy to store. Battery lasts a long time.

If you have an eleven lb .25oz cut on there it will zero itself out. Spring for a heavier one and call it good.

If you decide to order this from BedBath..., they have free shipping on orders over $29.
I recommend these measuring spoons for $9.99 to get you over the order minimum.

They're fairly heavy duty, not some thin tin
Fit into most any spice container
Easy to level
Measurement markings are stamped in so they don't wash off like plastic ones do

I appreciate good tools, whether they're used in the garage or the kitchen.

She can have that one in kitchen(she has not had to meas that heavy anyway) and I will put heavier model in shop.
