Baked goods require very precise measurements. A fraction of a wrong measurement can lead to less-than-desirable baking results. Weight watchers and health-conscious people also want very precise measurements in their food to keep track of calories and other nutrients. One way you can ensure precision ingredient measurements is by using the GreaterGoods Digital Food Kitchen Scale.
Product Overview
The GreaterGoods Digital Food Kitchen Scale can measure any food item that can weigh up to 11 pounds. It displays the weight information in its high-contrast LCD screen. Unfortunately, the LCD only comes in a greyscale version. It does not have the blue backlit design of other kitchen weighing scales. Regardless, the large digital readout makes it super easy to see the weight of the food being measured.
Underneath the slim and minimalist design of the GreaterGoods are four advanced weight sensors. They allow for the more accurate measurement of any item that you place on the platform. It can present weight information in grams, ounces, milliliters, fluid ounces, and pounds. It is important to understand that this food scale can only display weight increments of at least 0.1 ounces or a gram. If the food item being weighed is less than these measurements, there is a possibility that the scale will not return an accurate measurement.
Powering the GreaterGoods kitchen scale is a pair of CR2032 batteries. There are some customer complaints about the battery life being too short. The auto shutoff feature of the weighing scale should help address this issue. The scale also comes with an automatic weight calibration feature. There is no need for constant calibration of the device prior to each use.
The GreaterGoods kitchen scale has a modern, slim, and minimalist design. It allows for easy storage. Unfortunately, the materials used are not that high-quality. The 6-inch weighing surface is made of plastic. It does look quite elegant in its silver color, though. The plastic surface is also easy to clean.
The two buttons are touch-sensitive. This makes it easy to operate the device. Underneath the scale are scratch-resistant feet.
