I LOVE my digital scale!!! I use it every SINGLE day.
It weighs in both grams and oz. EVERY product on the market has serving sizes listed on the package in grams.
I weight EVERYTHING on it. Put my bowl on it, add 40 g. cereal, zero it; add 8 oz milk, zero it; add 150 g. frozen fruit.
Measure ice cream with it... 106 g. for 1/2 cup… or 141 g. for 2/3 cup, if we are splitting a pint 3 ways.
Weigh out 2 oz of pasta...
¼ oz of cheese…
I have a Salter basic model, sort of like the Salter 6055
I used a cheap-o $10 scale for 3 months and it worked fine... but I LOVE!!!! the digital scale.
Some scales will do negative numbers for you. You can put a jar of peanut butter on it and take out X number of grams... mine ain't that fancy.
KD has a good scale review…
