Ozeri Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale with Oversized Weighing Platform, Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just to give you guys a little background, I bake my own bread and to do so, I need to weigh the incredients rather than using a volumetric measurement such as Cups or liters. I've been baking for a few years now and as a result, I've gone through quite a number of kitchen scales. But every scale that I've owned in the past had a flaw or a 'foible' so to speak: weight limit being way too low, hard to read display, flimsy weighing platform, inconsistency... the list goes on. Of course, some cost way more than others, but for the price I paid for this scale, it was perfect.
Weight capacity - It can weigh things up to 11 lbs, which is important for me. In case you're wondering why, having a high limit allows you to weigh incredients in bowls, which can be heavy at times.
Simplicity - One thing I've noticed, is that if a scale is more complicated, its just more things that can break. This scale is simple yet it has all the necessary functions such as Tare, and Unit change.
Cleaning - The stainless weighing platform makes cleaning an easy task. Things just wipe right off.
Durability - The materials and construction seem very sturdy and well built. It doesnt seem as fragile as some of my past scales, and a definate plus is the sturdy weighing platform.
consistency - A scale is meant to weigh things, and if a scale can't to do that right, then we're in trouble. But have no worries, this scale is on the dot every time. ( use a nickel, which weighs 5.0 grams exactly )
Overall, its a great deal and its been flawless so far. Oh, and yes I could recommend it to others!

Featuring high-precision accuracy and a wider, 6-inch round measuring platform, the Ozeri Precision Digital Scale is a great tool in any kitchen and to take on the go. It weighs less than 1 pound and is less than an inch thick for ultra easy portability and space efficiency.

The digital scale has a large, bright, easy-to-read LCD screen with an improved viewing angle so it can be seen from most anywhere in the kitchen.

So it's easy to measure sugars, flours, or any grains on a small plate or in a small bowl from which they can easily be removed. The scale's weighing platform is finished in smooth elegant steel, and has a capacity range from a mere 0.1 ounce to 11 pounds and 0.4 ounces (1 gram to 50 grams). The scale also displays results in both the US and international metric systems (grams, ounces, pounds, and kilograms).

KINTREX AAA Battery Powered SCL0640 Digital Tempered Glass Kitchen Scale, Ultra Thin Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've just purchased the KINTREX SLC0640 Digital Kitchen Scale. Several things I'm impressed with thus far [keep in mind, this is my first digital kitchen/food scale as I have been using the cheapy $5 spring type one found in many stores, so maybe I'm impressed easily].
(1) AAA batteries [First ones are included (nice), AAA's found anywhere as the small disc-like ones, maybe not as easy --- this was my deciding factor for purchase].
(2) The black glass is simple & smooth for easy cleaning and appears to be scratch resistant [I compare it to the iPhone glass screen], I haven't had it long enough to determine otherwise.
(3) Manual "off" button [saves battery life, I read that some of the others may not have this feature].
(4) Clear, bright LCD light up numbers. Measurements choices lb & oz, fluid oz, and metric.
(5) Tare function for measuring a dish to zero so you can have an accurate measurement of your food item or whatever you're measuring.
(6) Thinly flat for easy storage, I prop mine vertically in the cabinet.
ALSO NOTE: The directions say to "press" the buttons but actually pressing is not necessary. Touching is a better description [again, much like the iPhone screen]. It seems I'm satisfied with my purchase, at least for the whole 2 days I've had it. Hope this review was helpful. :o)

Zojirushi BB-HAC10 Home Bakery 1-Pound-Loaf Programmable Mini Breadmaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Zojirushi BB-HAC10 breadmaker is terrific for couples, singles, or apartment dwellers wanting a small loaf of bread (1 LB). While at first, its price may be offsetting, it is a fantastic device and made of high quality materials. Most breadmakers are too large and end up being stored in the closet, but this machine is small, sleek, and bakes perfect loaves of bread. It is the same width as my toaster and is small enough to keep out on an apartment kitchen counter. The loaves on regular cycles take between 3:40-3:00 to bake, but it has a timer and a "keep warm" feature. It is quiet and an 8-year old could easily operate its simple push button controls.
It has an even-heating element, and a good quality, heavy, non-stick baking pan, which is a snap to clean up. It has a pasta/cookie dough feature and a jam (!) feature. The tiny paddle is actually surprisingly efficient at making dough for cookies and such.
One caveat: It bakes a small, vertical loaf of bread and a 1 LB loaf is smaller than you think it is. So the "rounded" part on top takes up about 1/4 of the entire loaf. Also, your bottom slice will have a gaping hole where the paddle bakes into it. While this is not much of a problem for a large 2 LB loaf, for this small loaf, it is a bit of a waste.
We have had a Zojirushi since the early 90's and although we found it consistently made excellent bread, it wasn't getting used very often because it was large and the 2LB loaves simply weren't getting eaten. After downsizing, we found that this breadmaker is fabulous because it makes small enough loaves that you can experiment with tons of different recipes and throw away a botched recipe without feeling bad about waste.
