What digital food scale do you use?
 

We bought a cheap $5 plastic food scale at Walmart, so we at least can tell what stuff weighs for now, but I would like to buy a digital scale around $20. I briefly looked online yesterday and saw one for $50. What does everyone else do? Do you weigh your meat, etc...? What scale do you use, and do you like it, if not, why?

I got a digital scale from Target, i think it was $30. I love it, I weigh everything. I will never got back to non digital, I hated that thing so i rarely used it. I was so excited when it broke and hubby bought me the new one...lol

I didn't buy my digital food scale, it was a Christmas gift, so I don't know how much it cost. It is VERY accurate though and I love it. It is a Salter brand. I had a cheap-o wal-mart scale for a long time, and it helped me lose over 100 pounds, so it worked! I just had to constantly set it to -0- and weight things a couple of times to get an accurate reading. The weight fluctuated depending on how lightly I placed it on the scale...:)

I always weigh my meat, cheese, and potatoes, (sweet and white). Oh and nuts and peanut butter. Sometimes fruit, if its something I don't eat often...just to get a sence of what a serving actually is.

I use one from Wal-mart. I think it was around $20. I just got it a few weeks ago but so far I love it.

Mine was I think $25 at Target too. They had 3 ranging in various sizes. I also have one that was $15 that I only use for craft projects. I think the features are most important though. I got one with a nice wide base so it can hold a lot without things hanging off the edge and falling off (think spaghetti), the plate raised up fairly high so I can see the display if I've got a plate on it, a tare button (every digital scale should have this) and that can weigh oz and in grams to a 1 gram .1 oz accuracy. They also vary in how heavy they can weigh but as I'm cooking for one I got one that tops out at 3 lbs I think. I know they had one that could measure up to 15 but I didn't see the point.

I still have a non-digital one, unfortunately.
