Product Description
Designed for small, precise measurements, this digital scale is a go-to in any kitchen. Capable of measuring up to nearly 2 pounds and accurate to within a hundredth of an ounce, it’s great for weighing things like spices, coffee, tea, and small amounts of meat Read More
Kinda shocked this isn't in baking, considering you weigh stuff more often for baked goods then stuff on a stovetop, but hey I'm not MD and I don't choose how to logically sort items with any of the ever expanding number of categories that are criminally underutilized by the designers...
That being said; I've been using a cheapo Ozeri ZK14-R Pronto for the last year for most of my baking.
Pros:
Cheap
Weighs 11 pounds which is useful for delivering children, weighing human heads, delivering heads, and all forms of baked goods on the scale that I bake them. (No mixer so no double batches, I just do single batches back to back)
Cheap
Tiny so it stores easily
Easily Readable
Simple to use even when blearily making sourdough waffles before the siren call of a warm bed and a snoring girlfriend draw you back to the covers to sleep until you regret wasting the weekend
Did I mention it's cheap?
Cons:
It's really frickin' cheap.
Also it can only measure to 1 gram accuracy. I need better. For reasons. Like yeast. And also salt. Nobody wants salt measured with questionable 1 gram accuracy.
Anyone had any experience with other scales? Looking to pick up one that can do either .1 or .01 grams, if it can also do oz's that would be great but it isn't really needed at that scale (badumtish!) because the last time a cookbook author wrote "0.0035 oz of salt, any more and your recipe is doomed to be added to bathtubs to allow people to recreate the dead sea spa experience" he was taken behind the publishers printing press and summarily executed. Doesn't need to take heavy weight as the Ozeri laughs in some form of eastern european language at all attempts to break it with flimsy american flour, as such it merely needs to precisely measure seasonings with japanese precision to enable creation of high speed low drag tactical baked goods. Splashproof would be great, as I feel using a plastic bag to protect it from dribbles would mess with the accuracy to a pretty large extent when going for .01g.
Hi. This says “auto-off after 70 seconds” - does this mean 70 seconds of non-use or 70 seconds after you turn it on?
just i have a kitchen scale that turns itself off at the most inopportune times so i need something that stays on while im working with it
rad.phx The usual is after inactivity, I imagine your kitchen scale is the same... maybe its just a really short inactivity time on it? sometimes its confusing because it stays on at first for a while but the timer just hasnt started kicking in yet.
rad.phxI think the real question is what counts as activity, just pressing buttons or things being placed on and off the scale, and if its just buttons do you press them often enough?
