A little over a year ago, our sister site the Kitchn extolled the virtues of the kitchen scale. I had, like the author of this post thought that kitchen scales were something for calorie counters and that I was quite alright baking using my measuring cups. After reading this post and taking a few pastry classes at culinary school, I began to feel the need for a little digital kitchen scale of my own.
Due to space constraints in my tiny apartment, I decided to consider only digital scales. Digital kitchen scales are also light, accurate, and give you a reading quickly and their small footprint makes them perfect for a small apartment kitchen. In compiling this list we considered aesthetics along with reviews since this was going to be an item that was going to be stored in plain site when not in use. Here is our roundup of the ten digital kitchen scales, just in time for your Thanksgiving baking needs.
What do you think? Have you had any experiences with any of these scales? Have we left out your favorite digital kitchen scale?

In my opinion the scale is so important these days it will help to know the taken calories per day,it is a must in all houses.

I also love using the digital kitchen scale to weigh packaging before I mail using the USPS print postage from home option.

I use the Escali, and my mom uses the stainless steel Salter. Both are fabulous little scales, and I especially love the price on my Escali!
