My kitchen scales started to go on me lately - I got them in the late 80's, so they didn't owe me anything! LOL They still work, but shut off annoyingly fast, about 10 sec. or so, instead of in 5 min., like they used to. So I started looking around, and found the perfect thing for me - Baker's Math Kitchen Scale, which makes it incredibly easy to work with those percentages found in many bread books. It also has a 17.6 lb/8kg capacity, which is far more than my old one. I have a smaller one in the cupboard I took out for higher amounts, like mixing sausage, so now I don't even need that one. I love this thing for the percentages - makes it so easy to multiply or divide a recipe when you have the percentages. Plus, it is a good, everyday scale, for the usual things.

Thanks for the review. It does look great and a good price. I have an old Salton 1400 Nutrition scale. which I love, but will make a note of this when that one dies.

Dave,
Are you still Happy with this scale? I tried to use my Polder Scale this weekend and it's DEAD. This model is still available from Amazon for the same price and Free shipping.

I'm still very pleased with the scale, Todd, and have had no problems with it at all. I haven't gotten around to converting too many recipes to percentages, but that is a great feature, especially when using certain bread books.

I ordered this scale. The really scary part is I haven't ordered from Amazon in probably 15 years yet when I went to place my order, they had my current Credit Card number.

Do you order from Zappos? They are now part of Amazon.

Looks like a nice scale, however, it seems a bit bulky for my needs. I store mine on its side on a shelf in the pantry; it's the slim style the seems to have been discontinued - it's several years old.
Mine has a removable platform so it can easily be cleaned I took a sandwich bag (not the Ziploc type but that could work as well) and slit the side of it and pulled it over the platform. Now I don't have to wash it after every use.

I have the Oxo Good Grips Kitchen Scale with Pull Out Display. While I love the scale, I can't find anything online about calibrating it. It does have two screws under the removable weighing plate.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
--Lisa
