"I have always had an inexpensive kitchen scale and used it occasionally. Recently, my German mother-in-law shared some treasured family recipes that contained ingredient measurements by weight rather than volume. Husband and I spent a long time converting the measurements before I realized that measuring by weight was much easier and more accurate. That's how I wound up with this scale and I don't know what I did without it! I use it nearly every day now.
It is super easy to use and the "zero" function is awesome for zeroing out the weight of whatever container you're using or before you add another ingredient to the container.
I highly recommend this first-class product!"
