Escali Primo digital kitchen scale
"The two-button kitchen scale bakers keep for years: 11 lb capacity, 1 g readings and a sealed panel that wipes clean."
Why we picked it
We chose it for bread and cookie bakers who measure by weight: simple, accurate to the gram and easy to clean.
- Two buttons: tare and unit (g, oz, lb:oz)
- Sealed control panel guards against spills
- Auto-off after 4 minutes idle; lifetime warranty, per Escali
- Capacity
- 11 lb (5,000 g) in 1 g steps
- Size
- 8.5 x 6 x 1.5 in
- Weight
- about 15 oz
- Colors
- several
Skip it if you weigh in tenths of a gram (coffee dosing, small-batch candy): choose a 0.1 g scale.
Before you buy
- Precision: 1 g steps up to 11 lb (5,000 g), which is right for bread and cookies; coffee dosing and candy need a 0.1 g scale.
- Buttons: tare and unit (g, oz, lb:oz), with a sealed panel that wipes clean.
- Auto-off after 4 minutes idle; keep that in mind for slow recipes.
Fits: Bakers who follow recipes by weight and want one scale that lasts years.
Not for: Anyone who needs tenths of a gram.
Goes with
- TempPro TP19H instant-read thermometer: weigh, then check the temperature
- KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer, 5 qt: the mixer the recipe goes into
