#The Best Food Scales of 2015

An accurate, reliable food scale for your kitchen is one of the most important tools for foodies, dieters and home cooks. Eyeballing measurements or employing the dip and sweep method with measuring cups can lead to imprecise amounts of ingredients going into your meals. This may not be a problem if you re not concerned with portion size, calorie count and other nutritional content. However, for those who take cooking or dieting seriously, a food scale is an absolute must.

Kitchen scales, while simple in purpose, actually come in a number of different forms with measuring components that are either mechanical or digital. Mechanical scales rely on an intricate set of internal springs and gears that indicate weight through a needle over a display reading. Digital scales offer precise readings and are often viewed as more accurate and long lasting than mechanical scales, which makes their presence more widespread among modern kitchens.
