Food scales?

[1love]

I know I saw a link somewhere on digital food scales but can't find it. For those who do use them, any recommendations? Or should I just pick one up from Target or something? Any help would be appreciated.

The ones you can get from target / walmart will work fine. I start out by using a scale then I see how much food I weighed out fits into a measuring cup. I prefer the using a measuring cup because its less hassle especially when preparing 6 + meals at a time.

Just me 0.02$

Thanks, I figured after awhile it would just become second nature and I wouldn't necessarily have to use it for everything. I just realized a lot of my meals are smaller than I thought and figured I would get myself back on track since diet is so important.

I got this one. I like it cause I can just put my plate on it, tare it, put the food right on the plate, and weigh it. Now I don't have to keep cleaning the scale.

I picked one up at bed,bath and beyond. They have quite a few different models ranging from cheap to up around $49

I use to use a cheap $5 non-digital one, but I recently picked up a $20 digital one at wal-mart. Only difference now is I can weight stuff to the gram.

Mine is just like Krom's but from Target 30 bucks it is a Taylor. It is so easy to use.

Yeah. Very easy, I cannot imagine anything easier to do. Incase some dont know what tare means, it is when you put on your plate/bowl and by hitting the button it zeros out so that the weight of the plate/bowl is not included anymore. Then whatever you put on the plate is weighed with a starting point of zero.

If you have a Ross in your town (yes I know the clothing store) they sometimes have some good stuff within their kitchen accessories. They had a really good food scale that I should of bought, digital, flat glass tray....similar to the above image, for 16 bucks. As a matter fact I am going to run down there now and see if it is still there.

Wow, that is cheap. I think I paid about $25 at Meijer grocery store.

I don't think it was the same model as the one in the picture but it looked similar. What attracted me was the large glass surface, I figured that would be much easier to lay food on then the bucket scale that I use now. I knew I should of bought the thing. You never know what they have at Ross and nothing is uniform. They sell whatever they get a hold of.

The scale I have is just plastic on the top too. Id rather have glass.

Thanks everyone. I ran to Target at lunch and found a decent one for $30. It has the glass top and the tare function. I do appreciate all the help. It's just I hate shopping and usually find myself buying everything online lately, so I thought I would get out in the real world and socialize.

[lang=lv]Meals machines are fantastic to have if you need to think about food for dishes or for nutritional factors, or if you own a store and need to think about foods to figure out their cost. There are many different types of food scale...thanks[/lang]
