I must admit I recently bought myself a little present recently for no particular reason. I had been coveting the idea of a digital scale for some time. My online foodie blogger circle is really global so measurements can vary from one continent to another. A lot more recipes I make have the ingredients listed in grams. My old fashion small needle scale with the basket that kept falling off on top just was not cutting it anymore. Let me mention here I really bought this scale in a store with my own money and I really am extremely satisfied with this purchase.
Also I needed a scale that could measure really minute weights, like 1 gram at a time, for molecular gastronomy. Digital was the only way to go. I shopped around for a while and settled on the yellow Escali Primo Digital Scale. And I just love it. This scale is very compact, on the lower end budget wise than most digital scales, and very easy to use.
But what I like best is that I can put a recipient on the scale, subtract its weight, and then add my ingredient to weight in the recipient. That is very practical if I need 2 grams of salt but I don’t want to put salt on a large flat surface which would be hard to pick up after wards. Also you can switch between metric and imperial (grams and ounces).
Another great use for it is weight packages for the Foodie Exchanges I do. I try to keep my boxes under 500 gr to keep the cost of shipping down. With this scale I get an exact reading of how much my box weights and I avoid nasty surprises at the postal counter.

Yeah it really shows I am in Canada when I say it measures as little as 1 gramm and as much as 11 pounds lol.
I bought a digital scale not too long ago and ever since, I’ve been using it a lot! It really makes your life easier. I love the scale you’re reviewing because it has 5 years warnety ( mine has 3 years) and it scales up to 11 pounds( mine scales up to 6 pounds).
Have a great week a head.
I think I’d like one of those scales pretty yellow scales too!
I was introduced to digital scales in my chemistry classes and oh, how that Tare button is the bestest feature ever 🙂 I really should get myself a digital scale for more accurate measuring. Hmm… look what you’ve done–plant the seed in my head 🙂 Enjoy making lots of yummy goodies with your scale!
I agree, it is a life changing experience lol
One of the best purchases I ever made. Life changing! No exaggeration! 😉
Digital scales are awesome! I have a starfrit one that I picked up at Thanksgiving after realising my smaller one just wasn’t cutting it any more. Had the same issue with the basket falling off. This one looks pretty cool and I love the fact that it can match your decor.
