Giveaway: Oxo Good Grips 5 lb. Food Scale

THIS GIVEAWAY IS OVER!

 

Hey foodies!  I have a fun giveaway for ya from OXO!

 

This OXO Good Grips 5 lb. Food Scale is so light and easy to store in the kitchen!

 

I love the pull-out display feature!  Now, whenever I put a large bowl on the scale, I’ll be able to read it better!

 

If you need to weigh something in a bowl, you just need to press the zero button to offset the weight of the container.

 

You can measure in US or Metric increments.  I have several baking recipes that are in Metric, so a food scale is a must in my kitchen.

 

Potatoes come in all sizes, so I need to weigh them for a few recipes that I have.

 

The scale runs on 2 AAA batteries (which are included) and the platform can be removed and washed by hand.

 

Scale Specifications

  • Dimensions: 7.9” x 5.65” x 1.1”
  • Weight: 16 oz.

 

I love this scale!  I’ve been using it to help me control my portion sizes.

It’s going to get a lot of use in my kitchen!

    I follow you on F B already & I liked O X O on FB too. I would use this scale to replace my old mini scale(non digital) only weights up to 1 lb. To continue to help me control our portion sizes & help us make larger batches of dishes so I can freeze them for future consumption.

    I would weigh the shortening for frosting instead of using a measuring cup. Not only more accurate but nothing to wash, just toss the wax paper.

    Lovely! Many of my recipes, especially in baking, require exact measurements. This would definitely be a great help to have around the kitchen. 🙂 I love that pull out feature.

    It would help me control portion sizes … I’d love to be able to measure meats because it seems we’re eating larger portions than is recommended.

    It would be a great help to me for weighing my baking ingredients as exact measurement is required on many of my recipes. I also love the pull-out display feature. What a nice scale! Great giveaway!

    This would really help me make better bread. I don’t have a scale so I have to measure everything. This would be more accurate.

    This scale would help with recipes that do not give the measurements in cups or ounces.

    Thanks!!

    This scale would help me with better measurements when I’m cooking and baking. I’ve always meant to pick up a scale but just have never gotten around to it. Right now, I just estimate with my eye and the weight it says on the ingredient’s package.

    I so need one of these! I have a scale that is not as accurate or easy to use as this one, and it doesn’t work with some types of food. I love to bake bread and use a scale every time I need to measure out water, so I could use this in my breadmaking efforts, plus I think it would be helpful for counting calories too. Thank you for the giveaway!

    We buy ground beef and other meats in bulk, and it would help us to package them up in consistent weights…

    This would be perfect for baking - both for ingredients and for weighing out dough so the finished stuff is the same size.

    I have a small scale but it would be so much handier to have a larger one especially when making jams.

    This is the year that i plan to eat better/healthier and lose some unwanted pounds. As I am getting ready to start a diet, the I would use the scale to help me with my diet. I would be weighing portion sizes of meats, and other things to help me stay on track with my diet.

    Well I would use it as you say you are for portion control but also I have recipes that are in weight measure and don’t have a scale that does that. My scale is so antiquated that it can measure for portion control but it is so old and it one that you adjust that it is not always that accurate. I have been looking to buy a new one but being unemployed for the past 8 mos. I have just never been able to find the extra funds for it.

    I have never used a kitchen scale before, but always wanted to. My wonderful mother-in-law (amazing cook and baker!) has always recommended one for my baking.

    This scale would help in my mission to lose a lot of extra weight. I have always had a hard time losing weight my entire life. Now I have a renewed confidence that I can do this and I NEED to do this for my kids, my family and most importantly my health. It really is a matter of life and death!! If I won this scale I would be able to lose the weight by portion control the correct way. Thank you for the chance to try and win!!

    This would be so helpful to me in several ways! We like to save money by buying large packages of meat, but, now that we no longer have teenage boys at home, I need to divide those into small packs (with teenage boys I thought those huge pack WERE the small size!) As we are *cough* getting older, I also need to measure some foods for casseroles and soups to make sure our servings are adequate.

    We buy meat in bulk and I guesstimate when breaking it down into smaller packaging for freezing. This would be sooo much easier. 🙂

    What a great scale! I would wear it out in my kitchen! I am a baker and an avid food weigher/logger/monitor…lol!
    Worked too hard to lose 30 pounds, so I track every B.L.T.! (Bite Lick Taste!)
    Would be a great addition and would have lots of kitchen gadgets to keep it company!

    I have read that weighing ingredients is much more accurate than measuring them, that’s why I would be interested in an OXO scale.

    I don’t have a kitchen scale, & so many bread recipes I have call for a certain “weight” of flour instead of “cups”. I have a table to convert, but it sys “approximate” cups 🙁 not an accurate exchange!
