Review on Taylor Precision Products USB Rechargeable Digital Kitchen Food Scale, 11 lb Capacity, Dishwasher Safe Tray, Cord Included by Katherine Peterson

Perfect for around the house, this scale is very versatile. Because they have a slightly larger capacity than many kitchen scales, I've used them for shipping weights as well as for cooking. It's a lot easier to bake by weight, and it's also easier to control portions by weighing. I really don't think it matters if my calories are one way or the other, but if you're dieting, these little details will help you stay motivated. When it comes to baking, there's no doubt that you'll get the best results with an accurate scale. The scale is powered via a micro USB cable (plug included). I love this because I have multiple devices that can use this cable and I never need more than one at a time. No need for disposable batteries. But it's also not that portable. If you're weighing drugs in the trunk of a car, I don't think this scale is for you, but you should stop doing that, too, dude. The backlight is more practical than you think. My house has poor lighting under my kitchen cabinets, which gives me a space where nothing else will work, but readings from this well-lit scale are good. The numbers themselves are large, but the decimal point was difficult to see, as were the units. If you use the scale a few times, you'll know what unit you're using, and you'll also know where the decimal point should be (to make it easier to find). So I'd say the display isn't perfect, but it's good enough that at a glance it's easy to use once you get to grips with it. Since there is a good tray, I can zero the scale and move the tray on the chopping board. as easy to replace and gain. You also don't need to use a tray, making it fairly easy to weigh items that don't fit the scale perfectly. Build quality is on the basic side. I think it will last for years, but it's definitely meant to stay in place.
