Good Grips 11-Pound Stainless Steel Kitchen Scale
A kitchen scale with a pull-out display so you can still read it when there's a big bowl on top.
$64.95
This is a digital scale that measures up to 11 pounds in ounces, pounds, grams, or kilograms. The pull-out display sits in front of the weighing platform, so you can see the readout even when a mixing bowl or plate is covering the scale.
It has a tare button — zero it out after each ingredient so you can add everything to one bowl without doing math. Measures in 0.1 oz or 1 g increments, which helps when a recipe calls for small amounts.
Runs on four AAA batteries. They're included, but you'll replace them eventually. Wipe it down with a damp cloth when you're done.
Why it works
- Pull-out display stays visible even with a large bowl on top.
- Tare button lets you add ingredients to one bowl without starting over.
- Measures in small increments — helpful for baking precision.
Who it's for
- Someone who bakes often and is tired of guessing measurements.
- A cook who wants to stop doing conversion math mid-recipe.
What to know
- Uses AAA batteries — not rechargeable.
- Wipe clean only. Don't submerge it.
