How did I go all these years without a digital kitchen scale? I had a manual…highly inaccurate scale I used for years. Somehow I tried to convince myself that it was somewhat accurate. I usually had to tap the side for the needle to move to a more convincing looking weight. Not surprisingly the individual packages seemed to vary greatly. I buy 5lbs of hamburger and divide them into 4 ~1 lb freezer bags that I flatten so they will thaw fairly quickly. The final portion I split into small hamburger sized bags. I bought this for < $10 and it must weigh 6 oz…very light.
It has a cool feature that if you place a object on it, for example a bowl, before turning it on it will adjust for that object and still start at zero. So you can fill the bowl with something and it will give you only the weight of the contents.
One feature very important to me is for tech, if possible, is to use regular batteries. This uses AAA batteries, many use odd harder to find batteries. I hate to have to look for these tiny round specialty batteries with hard to remember numbers.
