Prepare healthy meals with help from this EatSmart Precision Elite ES-ESKS-10 kitchen scale, which offers 4 weighing modes and includes a calorie factors book, so you can easily control portions and measure caloric intake.
I haven't had it long enough yet to see what might go wrong with it. Compared to an analog scale, it is very easy to use. It is large enough to accommodate most any size bowl or a reasonably large plate to weigh items, instead of having its own special bowl to weigh food items in. Still, it isn't so large that it takes up too much space or is very heavy. The ability to "zero" (tare) the scale to any plate with a push of a button is very easy. Sure, you have to eventually replace the 4 AAA batteries, but being battery-powered makes it very portable - I'm not limited to using it on this or that counter space in my kitchen, as I would with a plug-in one. The booklet that comes with the scale, giving calorie factors for many different foods is very helpful. My first impressions give it 5 stars, and I hope to not have any problems with it that would take any stars away.
