Most of them are really not all that big!<BR/><BR/>s'kat - I couldn't live without my scale now - which can be bad!<BR/><BR/>Jamie - I have written down most everything I use on a normal basis (flour/sugar or whatever) when I make the recipe and note the weight. For example, most recipes I use 125 grams for 1 cup all-purpose flour. Unless a recipe specfically calls for the "dip and sweep" method which weighs more. Did that make sense?<BR/><BR/>J Bo - It has a VERY attractive price when you look at the other scales on the market that don't have near the features that this one does!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1144102126254042682006-04-03T18:08:00.000-04:002006-04-03T18:08:00.000-04:00I just ordered this very scale (per the wise couns...I just ordered this very scale (per the wise counsel of the sainted Rose Levy Beranbaum on her baking blog) and CAN'T WAIT for it to arrive. My last scale was crummy and expensive-- not a good combination, to my mind. The LED display lost several of its bars after a month of light use (it's hard to interpret results that read "L7P"). NOW, to have a highly accurate scale with excellent features for under $65 including shipping... well, such happiness.<BR/><BR/>And, Jamie, there is no accurate conversion possible from cups to weight; a scale is useful when a recipe lists ingredient amounts in cups OR weight; it also makes using a European recipe possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1144081821319119532006-04-03T12:30:00.000-04:002006-04-03T12:30:00.000-04:00I don't understand how you can convert from standa...I don't understand how you can convert from standard cups to weight?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14888644789252495889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1144079621263538792006-04-03T11:53:00.000-04:002006-04-03T11:53:00.000-04:00My old scale recently gave up the ghost, too.

I tried to guesstimate the measurements, but the unfortunate dough came out like a brick.s'kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608290084940445730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1144030738436413122006-04-02T22:18:00.000-04:002006-04-02T22:18:00.000-04:00I'm definitely in the market for a scale - we use ...I'm definitely in the market for a scale - we use them at school and I'm already convinced that it's worth the money.
