| After 30 years, my wonderful small Cuisinart balance scale gave out and the Terrallion 5-pound scale (same age) got heat stroke so the top no longer fits.
And given my aging eyes, I think a digi scale with a big readout is a good idea for Mother's Day! So, those with digi scales, what's important? Which brands are great? TIA |

| I recently bought a Polder digital kitchen scale, very smart looking and it has a built in timer and a built in removeable meat/oven thermometer. Also can be set for grams or pounds/ounces |

| Jane, I think this one would look great in your kitchen... |

| Claire -- You are truly a mind reader! I had seen that very scale, and was considering it, but couldn't remember the brand name. Thank you so much. Just perfect. |
|
| I've seen that same Soehnle scale and it is indeed very nice. My Polder is somwhat similar with the glass top and curved base. I have a Soehnle digital bathroom scale for years now and it's very well made and bang on accurate with my doctors big balance scale. |
|
| I bought a new one recently. A Salter Electronic Aquatronic. Great if you like to bake. I had an older Salter that still works but this one had a few more options which I liked. You can weigh both liquids (fluid Oz) as well as dry, and it adjusts from Kilograms to ounces. Ann |

| Ann, I have that same Salter and it is perfect! I put mine into a ziplock bag, and I use it with the bag on it. Keeps it perfectly clean and I can put messy things on it. Works like a charm. |
|
| Ohh great idea Helene. I'll have to give that a try. Ann |

| I am pretty sure that Cook's Illustrated did a comparative evaluation sometime in the past couple of years of various kitchen scales. I'll look through my collection in the next few days, if I can, and try to find it. |
|
| Soehnle.. the Attache Digital Food Scale is one of my favorites, but they are all very high quality items. |
|
| I have a Salter model number 6055 that I love. What I like (besides the looks) is that it weighs in 1 gram increments and weighs up to 11 lbs. This makes it great for salt to bulk bread dough. |

| I forgot to add that my old eyes can read the digital display without my glasses. That's a biggie!! |

| I got my scale from a Laboratory supply catalogue. I work in the food manufacturing industry and these are the scales used in food labs. I am in Canada and ordered mine from Canada Wide Scientific. It has a tare button, so you could put your bowl on first, press tare to zero out the weight of the bowl and then measure the ingredients. It's a great no mess way to measure butter. |
