Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Polder Digital Add'N'Weigh 11-Pound Kitchen Scale, White
Customer Review: Essential for accurate measurements
Summary: 5 Stars
In the past, I used to eyeball some measurements. For baking, this would throw off proper rising or baking time. Now, I don't know how I got along without this handy scale. And since using this scale, I realized how much I had previously relied on guess work for measurements. No more....
First of all, it has a very small foot print, so I don't worry about it taking up valuable countertop space. It's small enough, that I set it on top of my espresso machine when it's not in use. But it's one of my kitchen tools that I use almost daily.
With the 'tare' feature (an absolute must for a kitchen scale), I can set a large bowl on top of the scale,zero out the bowl's weight then pour, slice, shred, chop directly into the bowl until I reach the desired weight for the ingredient. I have also found that if I empty the bowl and return it quickly to the scale, the weight of the bowl is 'remembered' so I don't have to tare the weight of the bowl back to zero. It's quite handy to have this feature when measuring large quanties. Note: when the scale turns off (after a period of inactivity... good battery saving feature)you will have to use the tare feature again when placing a container on the scale.
The display is easy to read and converts from ounces to grams. Given that it measures to the 1/8 of an ounce, I am confident in the accuracy of the measurements.
The finish of the scale also cleans up quickly. So whether I am weighing cheese, mushrooms, or heck... even tofu, I just wipe it clean.
Description of Polder Digital Add'N'Weigh 11-Pound Kitchen Scale, White
For the serious baker or confectioner, the most precise food measurements are always by weight, not volume. Polder?s exceptionally accurate kitchen scale measures weight in increments as small as 1/8 of an ounce or one gram, without regard to the coarseness of an ingredient or how tightly it has been packed. Because it?s digital, there?s no eyeballing or estimating necessary. This precision also comes in handy for dieters, serious cooks who wish to convert from European recipes, or anyone who wants to know exactly how much of a food they are eating or preparing. The scale?s sleek, simple design features an orb-like measuring platform seamlessly integrated with the display and controls. A button allows users to choose metric or imperial (pounds/ounces) measurements. The large platform holds mixing bowls or containers, while pushing the ?tare? option on the on/off control zeroes out their weight. The ?add?n?weigh? function lets users continue to add ingredients to a bowl while the scale measures the progressive changes in weight. Its 11-pound/5-kilogram capacity suits almost anything you could wish to weigh in a typical household kitchen. Batteries are not included. --Mary ParkScales
