Digital kitchen scale

Prep made easy

Digital kitchen scale

A digital scale weighs ingredients in grams or ounces. Baking recipes that call for "1 cup flour" can vary by 40% by weight depending on how it is scooped - the scale fixes that. It also makes portioning meals fast.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need one if I have measuring cups?

For everyday cooking, no. For baking, coffee, or portioning meals to a target calorie count, a scale is dramatically easier.

What is "tare"?

It resets the display to zero once you put a bowl on the scale, so you weigh only what you add.
