com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US. It also shuts off after two minutes, which could set you back if you’re measuring several ingredients. In 2018 we tested an older (and now discontinued) version of the OXO 11 Pound Stainless Steel Food Scale with Pull Out Display, and it just wasn’t very accurate. Also, since this scale doesn’t have an elevated weigh platform, we had difficulty reading the screen when using an oversized bowl to measure ingredients.

METTLER TOLEDO has established a global presence and reputation through the development of precision weighing and analytical instruments over the last 100 years. It’s pretty cheap and accurate, but it’s got a fairly short auto-off duration of just over two minutes—about 13 seconds shorter than our top pick. We’ve tested many scales since 2013, and in that time we’ve settled on a list of essential features to look for, extras that are nice to have, and qualities to avoid. We found it to be accurate to the gram, with near-instantaneous readings and a long delay before auto-shutoff. In this article, we’ll talk about the different types of gram scales you can use to ensure you get the right measurements every time.We tested the OXO Precision Coffee Scale With Timer for our guide to the best gear for making pour-over coffee and found that it had trouble settling on a weight. It also measures Troy ounces (ozt) and pennyweights (dwt), though you won’t find a use for those in the kitchen. Anyone who wants more consistent results from their baking, cooking, or coffee brewing should consider getting a scale. That extra precision comes at a cost to size and capacity, however, and most people don’t need it, since measuring spoons are accurate enough for baking.

Some of the scales' auto shutoff would kick in, annoyingly, after just one minute, while our top pick lasted the longest, at six minutes. Escali Alimento Ultra Accurate Scale: This was the most expensive scale we tested and not as accurate as some of the other, more affordable options. Our state-of-the-art facilities manufacture your gram weighing scales using only the highest quality materials. The LB-3000 proved similarly accurate in our whole-gram tests, with a few exceptions: It underweighed the 100 gram and kilogram weights by 0. We recommend the My Weigh KD8000 for people who make a lot of bread or want to prepare large batches of food at once.In our experience, the tare button on the Ozeri Touch Professional Digital Kitchen Scale suffered from a delayed response, which our testers found annoying. Our favorite kitchen scale, from OXO, has a unit conversion button that allows you to easily switch between grams, kilograms, ounces, and pounds. What’s more, the newer scale now remembers which unit you’ve been using, so you don’t need to reset it after each power-up.

The weigh platform is conveniently elevated, so you can still read the digital screen when using large bowls. However, they generally offer less precision than other types of scales and may require frequent calibration. We also wanted to test whether that fine-tuned accuracy degraded when the scale was loaded with heavier stuff—for example, if you were whipping up a batch of Kenji's pizza dough and wanted to weigh sugar into the bowl you'd already scaled the flour into.We did notice a slight delay when measuring items as small as 1 or 2 grams, which wasn’t the case with our top pick. To test this, we set a 750-gram calibration weight on each scale, then added the lighter calibration weights on top of that. Although most kitchen scales aren't designed to weigh minuscule quantities of ingredients, such as a teaspoon of salt or baking powder ( Stella has written about this in-depth), we decided to run a test to see if any of the scales could handle it, the assumption being that if a scale could accurately weigh a small amount, it would likely be more adept at measuring a pound of sugar.
