Shows measurements in 1/8-oz. and 1-gram increments up to 11 lb. or 5 kg. Tare feature enables weighing multiple ingredients in a single container. As you weigh your ingredients, an easy-to-read indicator bar lets you know how much capacity is left on the scale. Stainless-steel platform removes for easy cleaning. Thin profile for convenient storage. Uses four AAA batteries (included).

Love this scale!
May 6, 2013
This scale is perfect. I weigh many of my ingredients for baking. The scale allows you to zero the weight after you place your container on the scale. Your scale results are lit. If you are using a larger container, you have the capability to move the weight results panel forward for viewing. I am so happy with this scale. Another great Oxo product! Thanks for carrying, WS!

Couldn't be simpler
March 21, 2013
The metric and English measurement feature has opened up a whole new world of recipes (just made something quoted in grams and would never have been able to figure that out). I love being able to use any container at all, and the scale operates flawlessly and stores easily.
Pros: Easy to Use, Quality, Time-saver, Easy to Clean, Easy to Store, Size, Versatile, Design, Weight

JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR
February 21, 2013
When I got Thomas Keller's books, one of the things he stressed was weighing ingredients and I knew I couldn't do it with the scale I had at home. This scale has all the bells and whistles I needed and it was really inexpensive, too.
I'm really happy with this scale...if I could only cook like Keller I'd be in chef's heaven.

My second OXO food scale
January 31, 2013
I've had the smaller 5lb scale for about 3 years and am happy enough with it to buy this 11lb capacity scale. Everything is good about it except as a previous reviewer noted it does shut itself off after about 5 minutes even if your still measuring. I guess they did this as a battery saver feature but I would prefer if OXO let me monitor my own battery usage. This is what prevents me from giving it 5 stars but I like it well enough to buy a second model.
I do recommend it, just measure everything quickly or be aware that you need to shut it off if you get side tracked or have alot of stuff to measure.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Time-saver, Easy to Clean, Versatile

Superb value
March 28, 2012
Efficient, sleek, effective and - I think - accurate, this scale is a great value at the current price point. I've only used it for a few weeks and it has changed my kitchen habits for the better - especially because of the easy conversion button. Sleek, low profile design is a plus. Highly recommend.
Pros: Easy to Use, Accuracy, Quality, Design, Weight, converts weight simply

Scale Turns Off Mid-Job
March 18, 2012
Scale seems accurate - but did not come with very good instructions. It tends to turn off and I have to re-zero and re-weigh. This is especially a pain if you are doing a lot of chopping and weighing as you go. I would not recommend this scale.
Pros: Accuracy, Easy to Store
Cons: Difficult to Use, poor instructions

Accurate and Well-Designed
February 22, 2012
This is a fantastic scale. We have never had any issues with the recipes we use it with. The pull away display is a great feature. The stainless steel makes for a very easy clean up.
You may want to keep the box it comes in. It makes for a great storage compartment, as this scale must be stored in a certain manner.
I love this scale and would definitely recommend it.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Accuracy, Quality, Easy to Clean, Easy to Store, Size, Design

So easy, now I weigh all my food
February 16, 2012
I hated my old food scale therefore I often guessed at the weight and thus the calorie count. No wonder my diet wasn't going as well as I had hoped. Then I got my new OXO Food Scale. Wow, what a difference! It is easy to use. Easy to read. Easy to clean. I love it! I wish I had purchased the OXO Food Scale when I first committed to losing the weight I'd gain after I quit smoking. It is really making meal prep and proportion control easier.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Accuracy, Quality, Easy to Clean, Easy to Store, Size, Design

Easy to Use
January 24, 2012
This OXO product is sleek, easy to use and quite compact. Any flour easily brushes off, and the pull-out control is handy. I am very satisfied with it and use it for mostly baking, although it certainly has other uses.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Accuracy, Quality, Easy to Clean, Easy to Store, Size, Versatile, Design, Weight

Works alright but is NOT accurate.
December 4, 2011
I got this for baking as many recipes I use are in grams. Unfortunately, for small amounts (e.g. yeast, salt, etc.) This is totally inaccurate. It does not display a decimal point with grams and when I add what should be twice the weight of 3 grams, it only reads 4 grams. This can really ruin bread recipes if the salt ratio or yeast ratio is that far off. For the money, I would have wanted this to be accurate to one tenth of a gram, which as far as electronic balances are concerned really isn't a lot to ask.
Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Clean, Easy to Store
Cons: Inaccurate

Wrong scale
Anyone should know, if you're wanting to measure grams and fractions of grams, get a GRAM SCALE. One that's designed for grams only. It is obvious this scale was not intended to weight minute amounts. This is an unfair assessment.

Just so you know, a *decent* 5kg scale accurate to 0.1g costs about $250 - $300. For fine measurement, you can get a very accurate 1/10th gram scale for $30 - $50, but it will not weigh heavy items.

Great product!
November 1, 2011
I recently bought the OXO food scales and love it! It is easy to use and see. The pull-out display makes it easy to weigh even large items and having the illuminated display is very helpful. Great product! I liked the scale so much that I bought a second one for our summer home.
Pros: Easy to Use, Accuracy, Easy to Clean, Design

great scale, great price
October 26, 2011
I've been wanting a scale for a long time, primarily for baking. Though I haven't used this one much yet, so far I'm very impressed with the ease of use, compact size, and seeming accuracy. It's a great tool - I'm so glad I got a Williams-Sonoma gift card that made buying the scale possible for me.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Accuracy, Quality, Time-saver, Easy to Clean, Easy to Store, Size, Versatile, Design, Weight

America's Test Kitchen Got It Right
October 14, 2011
I was looking for a food scale as many recipes that I've tried recently recommend measuring weight. I remembered watching an America's Test Kitchen episode on food scales and the OXO Food Scale got their "seal of approval." That was good enough for me. I knew that I'd find it at Williams-Sonoma, and (borrowing from Emeril) BAM, they did! I love it!

Multi-Use in Baking, Cooking, Meal Preparation
May 17, 2011
Using the OXO food scale makes me very happy in the kitchen. From the simple to complex: from weighing 3 lbs. of potatoes, to 7 oz. of chocolate, to European/metric weight recipes, this scale is a great aid to produce delicious baked and cooked products. I love the reset feature that voids out "utility bowl weight." And the Increased weight allowance; 11+ lbs, is perfect (most other scales are lower). Not to mention, if one is dieting and weighing their meals, too. And baking is a science and I love help with the formulas!
Pros: Easy to Use, Accuracy, Easy to Store, Versatile, Design
