Product Notes:
The Alta High Capacity Glass Digital Scale is a seamless blend of style and function, with user friendly touch sensitive technology that can also measure both liquids and solids, up to 22 pounds (10 kg) in weight. It even includes a timer function (to notify you when your baking is done, for example, and it can display the temperature in the room!
The Arti Digital Kitchen Scale with Large Display (Model 157) is another model capable of weighing either liquid or dry ingredients, this time up to 15 pounds (248 ounces) or 7 kilograms with an accuracy of 0.1 ounces or 1 gram. The Arti's list of features is long and loaded with value. It's large, crisp and clear display – which is 50% larger than is commonly found on a kitchen scale – sits right up front between the user friendly touch-sensitive controls. It also has a single, large (9 by 6.5 inch rectangle, with rounded edges), low profile, smooth glass surface, which is easy to wipe completely clean. It currently comes in a choice of three bold colours.
This type is also available in a larger model: the Arti XL (Model 22101B), which has an Extra Large Platform (7.5 x 9.5 inches: an inch wider and half an inch longer than the regular Arti) and a higher capacity (22 pounds or 10 kg, rather than 15 / 7). The readings stay displayed for 10 seconds: enough time for you to still see it after removing something so large it obscured the screen. And like the regular type, it operates on two standard lithium batteries, and has an auto shut off feature to preserve battery life if you don't reuse it for several minutes.
Mind you, for some users or applications, it may be preferable to have a raised platform with the display areas and control buttons beneath that on its front, if you are using it while seated, for example, or if you are continuing to add different ingredients to a large bowl which you don't want to have to keep putting on and off to see the readings. If you're planning to use it quite a lot, the intermediate capacity Alimento Digital Scale (Model 136DK) may be just what you're after: like many of these models, it has a limited Lifetime warranty from the manufacturer. It has a rugged stainless steel platform which can be removed for cleaning. This model operates on either a standard 9-volt battery (partly to operate the blue display backlight, which can be switched on or off) or an optional Escali AC adapter (sold separately).
The Avia Digital Scale with Removable Serving Tray (Model V115) can save you time and reduce the number of things that need washing, when measuring some things. If you primarily want a kitchen scale to measure the portions for your own or someone else's snacks, this designer scale is an ideal selection, since its frosted holding tray is also an attractive dishwasher-safe serving dish. This stylish compact scale has a user-friendly readout feature – which you can set to weigh either in grams, or in ounces (showing either fractions or decimals for the portions thereof). The Avia is available in several warm colours, as shown.
And if you're really counting your calories, why not get a little help with that, right as you're preparing your meal or when contemplating buying something like a pie? The Escali Cesto Nutritional Scale (Model 115N) is an innovative, portable, super-slim scale designed to provide weight and nutritional information on up to 999 pre-programmed common food products. Readings can be provided in either ounces, grams, fluid ounces, or milliliters. The readout will display seven different nutritional ratings: fat, carbohydrates, cholesterol, fiber, calories, sodium, and protein.
Of course, maybe it's the kitchen appliances that need a little slimming down, if your counter space is at a premium. To help with that, Escali offers the Tabla Ultra Thin Scale (Model T115S): a very compact full-featured scale. Like most of the others on offer here, this scale's digital readout can display in your choice of in pounds, ounces, fluid ounces or milliliters, but this model is ultra thin and easily storable. Instead of taking up valuable counter space when not in use, it can easily be stored upright on a shelf along with your cookbooks.
Features and Specifications:
Virtually all Escali digital scales have a Tare Feature. The way that works is, if you want to weigh something that needs to be in a dish or container to hold it (like a powder or a liquid), first you weigh that container while it's empty and press a button to have the unit save that weight, and then the scale can automatically subtract that from the filled container's weight, to show the weight of just the contents. Another useful feature many share is Hold Display: for oversized items which obscure the display while you're weighing, the results will stay on for five seconds after you remove them from the scale. Many also have an Automatic shut-off feature: the scale will automatically turn off when not used for five or ten minutes, to preserve battery life. They can all display the weight in either Ounces, Pounds + Ounces, or grams, and several can show how much liquid that represents, in either fluid ounces or milliliters, down to increments of either 0.1 oz or 1 gram.
