It\u2019s hard to<\/span> overstate the convenience of a solid kitchen scale. Digital scales open up a new world of possibilities when it comes to upping your cooking or baking game, allowing precision in measuring ingredients, consistency in recipes, and efficiency in the kitchen. As more and more recipes are converted to grams (my favorite measuring metric), there\u2019s no reason to put off investing in a digital scale, especially with how affordable they can be.<\/p>\n

Most come with AA or AAA batteries and are a breeze to use. Unlike a mechanical scale, a digital scale allows you to tare (we explain what this means further below) the weight to 0 when weighing an ingredient. You don’t need multiple spoons and measuring cups, so a scale cuts down on dishes. The biggest benefit is the ability to measure ingredients by weight instead of volume. This is particularly important with baking. Ask a group of bakers to scoop and level a cup of flour and the results will vary. Ask them to measure 120 grams of flour\u2014the equivalent of one cup\u2014and each will yield the same amount. A kitchen scale is useful for everyone, baker or not, and these are my favorites.<\/p>\n
