It is made of a very light profile, but the design is impressive, and it does look good on our kitchen top. It allows you weigh everything from a couple grams of herbs to a few pounds off a chunk of meat. A simple button on the front of the unit lets you select precise readings of ounces, milliliters and grams. Plus, the covered, easy-press buttons and sturdy one-piece plastic housing wipe suffices for easy and quick cleanup.
Using the Digital Food Scale
When using a container etc., to weigh another object, you want to know the exact weight of the object without the container’s added weight. The Ivation Digital Kitchen Food Scale has a great tare function to accomplish just that. Start by placing the empty container on the weighing surface.
The display will show you that empty weight. Press the power button, and the weight reading will go down to “0”, effectively adjusting the measuring guide. Proceed to place the object into the container or plate, and thus get an accurate net weight reading.
We like
- It’s big enough (8″x6″ – usable space for weighing is about 5″x5″) to accommodate the kind of containers and foods you’re likely to weigh for cooking, but small enough to store away easily.
- It is accurate-it is spot-on for all the weights that we have tried.
- The scale also displays weights in ounces, pounds, and milliliters.
- The scale does have a tare function which works very well.
- The scale is powered by two AAA batteries with an extra set which will last you for a long period.
- It takes very little space to store
- It is easy to clean and has a large display.
- The scale is ready to use as you pick it no calibration is needed.
- This scale is affordable to many.
We’d like it more if
- It came with an automatic turn off function and display memory to avoid running down the battery.
- The display memory is a feature on higher end scales that will freeze the display of the last weight until you clear it.

The Ivation Digital Kitchen Food Scale is a smart choice if all you need an easy and convenient way to weigh food and to determine portion sizes.
