A reliable food scale?

[litloak]

I've come to the conclusion that my cheap little scale is way off. Can anyone suggest a decent food scale? Where to get one, what brand, etc? Don't need to spend and arm and a leg, just want one that's fairly close.

When I went to Weight Watchers many years ago, they sold a decent enough scale for under $10 at the time. It had a little screw adjustment in the back, and I would be able to make sure it was accurate by using something pre-packaged to verrify weight, like 1 oz. slices of cheese. I've seen similar scales sold in cooking stores in the mall and in Sears. I'm going to Bed Bath & Beyond later today and I'll see if they have some scales. You probably want something a little better than the Weight Watchers one.

I have a little out-dated postage scale...I just put my container on it, adjust the screw in the back, and I'm good to go! It isn't digital, which is what I'd prefer...but it works!

The best food scale I've found and have been thru 2 of them (I ruined one by getting it too wet) is found at WalMart. It's white, and digital, comes with a tray. It runs on a 9volt battery and measures in lbs, oz and grams. I love this scale bec. it's flat and portable, easy to use, easy to read and measures down to the gram.

I don't remember who makes it, but it's the only digital scale walmart carries and it's $30.
