Lightweight and multi-functional, the Primo Digital Scale is the best we've used at such a compact size. Many small kitchen scales are cheaply made, so their weight sensors are unreliable and give different readings depending on how your food is positioned. Escali's product gives consistent, accurate readings, with a two-button operation and straightforward tare function to subtract the weight of your container by resetting the scale to zero. It can handle up to 11 pounds and detect even the slightest weight change, down to a single gram. The buttons have a protective shield against splatter and are easy to clean; plus, the scale automatically shuts off after 4 minutes to conserve battery life.

When is a cup of flour not actually a cup of flour?

When you’re using a measuring cup. That’s because when you use cups and spoons to measure by volume, what you think is a precise amount often turns out to be anything but. A slew of factors—whether it’s the uneven clumping of sugar, the not-quite-level scoop of cornmeal or the erratically packed tangle of fresh herbs—can throw off a measurement, by some estimates as much as 50 percent. In baking, that discrepancy can mean the difference between a perfectly risen loaf of bread and a dense mess. That’s why at Milk Street we’re fans of digital kitchen scales; weighing ingredients is the best way to guarantee consistency.
