Does anyone have a recommendation for a good scale? I want
a digital scale with a fairly small footprint that measures
partial ounces, can be zeroed during weighing, and can be
calibrated. Anything I should be requiring of my scale that
I haven't listed? I'll be using it mainly for baking.

thanks,

Not really, Susan, just a great scale. Soehnle Futura. Weighs up to 2 kg =

or the equivalent in ounces (switchable).

I have the EKS brand that's shown about halfway down the page. I love
it and have had it for at least 10 years. I think I bought it at
Wms-Sonoma -- it's been a long time, so I'm not sure. I'm very happy
with it. It measures in 1/4 oz or 5 gram increments and has a tare
feature. I don't know about the calibration requirement you have,
though.

I have the same scale and agree - it's great. I also think it was pronounced
best scale by Cooks Illustrated, for whatever that may be worth.

I bought one of these a few years ago, and I love it:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=2565675514

It is switchable between grams and 1/10 ounces, and goes up to
about 6 pounds.

Best regards,
Bob

Be sure to get one that can weigh in grams as well.

I have the same one and it works well. I believe I paid $35 for it, I see
now it's a bit less

I love my (husband's!) Salter Aquatronic: measures up to 5 kilos/11 lbs
in .5g/1/4 oz increments. Also measures fluid oz's and litres. I've
had it for nearly 3 years, use it constantly, and the two CR2032 (3V
Lithium watch) batteries have yet to run out! It's about 8.5" by 7",
and quite flat. Use your own bowl of any size on it.

Here's my recommendation (http://www.myweigh.com/onlinestores_usa.html). I
have the 3001 in blue. It weighs to 3Kg (6.6lbs) in grams or Kg/g or in oz
or Lbs/oz. It also has all of your other requirments met. It also comes in a
6Kg (13.2Lb) version. The blue 3Kg version is $37.90 and the 6Kg version is
$44.90 at Oldwillknot ( http://www.oldwillknott.com/myweigh.html ). If you
want it in white with little rubber lines, its a few dollars cheaper. But I
think those rubberized lines would just be food catchers.

I have used my Aquatronic for several years and have been very happy
with it as well. It tends to be less expensive than some of the others
mentioned in this group, because it is not as striking looking, but it
stores better and works just fine.

I use a Salter 4001. It has a thick safety glass surface, accurate to
1grams. It is very accurate, i tested it with various things in the
beginning.
I gave 3 away as presents during the last 3 years and everybody loves
it.

I have it too...it's fantastic. And I paid $99 for it from Amazon, so
this seems like a bargain at $59.99.

Next time you want to buy a specific product, Sam, do the froogle.

Although you will have to manipulate it a bit and kiss some frogs, it's=20
good at finding the best price, often.

I have the Salter 1004 Electronic Kitchen Scale. It's small, flat and
metal. It stands up on end inside my cabinet. I loved the Soehnle Futura
but I don't have room for it. This one is sooo perfect.

You can see it at:

?

The futura fits in the palm of my hand. It is not big at all.

I don't see where it would take up more room than the Salter.

Plus, it looks like a modern sculpture, more than a scale.

I don't mind having it sit on the counter all the time. Sleek.

It I need the room, I hang it on the potrack. :-)
