Michael S Beaton: Loving this scale - the detachable reader is perfect for putting a Dinner Plate on, and measuring food as you're adding it to the plate. Saves me extra dishes.

HananR: Has a pull out display so can be used with large containers plus measures to .1 of a pound which is hard to find in other scales.
Small and quite light plus takes ordinary batteries which is convenient. Use it constantly.

Lisabe707: I tried other scales with larger platforms that still didn't allow me to read the weight with the large plastic containers I use for mixing and proofing dough. This one is good! You can pull out the digital readout panel beyond the tub so that you can read it. It's easy to zero it out when making adds. And, it is accurate when weighing small quantities or light ingredients such as dry yeast and salt. Recommended!

Jeffrey S: I like to bake using weight rather than scoopable measuring cups. My results are consistent EVERY time regardless of humidity and other factors that can affect so many baked goods.
For years, I used an old Weight Watchers scale, but when I saw this one reviewed, I decided to try it. It is very easy to use, can be switched between imperial and metric measurements. The on/off button also doubles as a "tare" button - it zeros out the weight of the container so you can only weigh the ingredients as you add them.
I also like the fact that you can pull out the display so that you can read it when weighing with oversized containers. Finally, it's small enough that I can tuck it behind anything on the countertop so it's out of the way and invisible.
I am a long-time fan of OXO products - they are well designed and easy to use and this one meets all expectations.

ChuckleHeadChuckleHead: I have long sought after the perfect kitchen scale, I think this scale is the one for me...

I have had many digital scales over the years. They all have a very irritating feature built in where they are always turning themselves off...I did not like that feature. Another annoyance was how difficult weighing in a large mixing bowl was, because I could not see the screen. Yet another detail overlooked by those old scales was how awkward moving the scale was. My last scale had " touch" buttons that would activate any time I touched the scale, and even sometimes when I didn't touch it, I found it on many times in the middle of the night.

This OXO scale does not suffer from those shortcomings...

First, this scale has buttons that depress and I can tell when I press a button. Second, I really love that this scale stays on longer than just a couple minutes. I cannot count the times I have been annoyed by other scales timing out quickly. Third, I can place my large OXO Good-Grip mixing bowl on this scale and without even pulling out the display I can easily see the readout. And, as a bonus, fourthly, OXO has designed a simple, yet effective tab on its front which...

Joe MooneyJoe Mooney: I have been searching for a long time to find a scale that does NOT have an irritating, short timeout. Finally, after 2 weeks with this OXO 5lb. Food scale I think I've found one.

Here's how it works. After 5 minutes of inactivity the illuminated display goes dim. But it still recalls the weight of whatever is on it for another 10 minutes. Tap the weighed item with your finger and the display lights up instantly with perfect memory of your weighed item, and the entire timeout sequence restarts anew.

If you leave it unused for more than 15 minutes the scales shuts down and the memory of the weighed item is lost - it will read Zero if you turn it on again. If you have good lighting, and good eyes, you can actually read the scale during the last 10 minutes of the timeout. It's very dim, but you can see the digits if you look closely.

There is a feature that keeps the scale on forever (or a bug depending on how you feel about this). If you zero out an item on the scale (say your steel mixing bowl) and remove it, the scale will naturally read a negative amount. What's interesting is that as long as it's reading a negative amount it never turns itself off (well, I...
