Any working kitchen scale is better than no kitchen scale. This will always be true. However, if you’re disenchanted with the small weighing platform of the Escali, or you’re annoyed because your cheap off-brand scale ERRs-out when you put five pounds of cookie dough in it, my friend in food, it’s time to treat yourself to a better scale. Get the OXO Good Grips 11-pound capacity scale while it’s on sale. From a professional recipe developing standpoint: I use it every single day, and it holds up.

I was using a small, round platform scale for years. It was about $20 and honestly, it was fine for a while. Then I started scaling-up recipes, I started recipe developing, and I needed to put bigger bowls on the wee scale. That’s when I started noticing that the readings would shift and be inaccurate if the ingredients in the bowl weren’t centered—and it was worse if the bowl or pan was overhanging the platform and display. (And then I couldn’t read the display.)

I replaced it with the OXO Good Grips 11-pound scale and it was like a weight off my shoulders (that I could now accurately measure). This kitchen scale has a large, square weighing platform that doesn’t get thrown off by large bowls, the display is backlit for overhanging bowls, and it actually pulls out away from the scale if you’re weighing a particularly large container. Even with the wide platform, the scale is rather slim, so I can store it easily in my silverware drawer without any issues. 

The best part is that this scale is 23% off right now, making it $43.06, which is a great price considering all of the perks, especially when you consider that those dinky round scales have increased in price over the years. It’s hard to find a reliable one for less than $30, so invest in one that’ll keep up with your cooking for years to come.
