Oxo Food Scale Giveaway

By

Ever found a tasty looking recipe, but the ingredients are all listed in ounces and grams?

Yes! This has happened to me before, and I was always disappointed because I had no way to measure the ingredients. With this 5-pound digital scale, though, I am now able to make those recipes! If only I can remember what the recipes were…

You can even use the scale to measure your packages to send in the mail. Or you can use the scale to measure the ingredients in a muffin and then send the muffins in the mail!

  3. I got a set of scales years ago and have converted all my American recipes. I find it so much easier than measuring cups. If you use the tare button you can measure as many ingredients as you want without emptying the bowl, just hit the tare button after each addition. Hope this helps anyone new to scales!

  6. I would use the scale to help me with portion control-and to see the difference in how I am eating to what is recommended!

  7. i would use it with the french cookbook my brother got me for high school graduation (almost 4 years ago!)and haven’t used yet because i don’t have a scale haha

  12. I could definitely use a scale for truffle making! You have to be so precise with all the measurements, but the end result is so worth it!

  13. I would love to win a scale. Lots of recipes have weight measurements and this scale would be so perfect.

  19. i would use it to measure brown rice flour for vegan cupcakes 🙂

  20. I would use this food scale to finally make the recipes i’ve pinned that are use weight measurements!

  21. I actually use my (dying) kitchen scale for everything — I use it to measure, rather than measuring cups for recipes. Sadly, it’s on its last legs and I need a new one!

  23. I would use the scale for recipe ingredients listed by weight (ounces or grams), but especially for making chia energy balls for before running…. it’s like getting to eat chocolate brownies for breakfast, but totally sugar free and all natural! Yum, yum, yum!

  24. I liked you on facebook! I would use the scale for everything but would love it for baking and making my homemade protein bars

  35. I would use it to measure ingredients while baking. I’ve noticed many baking recipes to have ingredients listed in grams.

  39. I’d use my scale to more adequately measure out portion sizes because I tend to have a heavy hand!! lol

  40. I’d use it to make some of the recipes our family members in Ireland passed along when we visited this summer!

  50. great giveaway! I would use it for everything. From baking to cooking. Love food scales

  56. I would use to make several recipes that call for dates as the sweetener and the amount is listed in grams!

  57. I would use the food scale to weigh out my salad veggies…I have always wondered how heavy my salad is, lol.

  65. I would use it to track my food! Sometimes servings are listed in ounces or grams, which are not always intuitively apparent. 🙂

  66. I have a gluten intolerance and I would use it to measure out flour correctly for baking!

  67. I would use it to help follow recipes as you suggest, but also I’d use it to get a better picture of how much I actually eat

  69. I’ve been wanting a scale for a while now! There are so many recipes that look awesome but I don’t know correct amounts to use.

  73. thanks for holding this awesome giveaway! i have had my eye on a kitchen scale for so long and for one reason only…baking! it is such a precise art and i think a kitchen scale would make my recipes come out that much better!

  84. I would use the scale for baking to measure dry ingredients in grams which ive heard is much more accurate than measuring in cups. I bake for my coffee shop every day 🙂

  85. I would love to use the scale to make all these delicious recipes all you bloggers post 🙂

  87. ALL of my baking! I’ve been in the market for a new food scale for a while now, as I bake exclusively gluten free. Baking GF can be so fussy that it’s best to measure your flours using a scale. This would be awesome!

  98. I would use this scale for baking, measuring and portion control. It would make converting and making recipes easier…no more guess work!!!

  99. YES. Whenever I stumble across a recipe with obscure measurements, I leave the website out of spite (though secretly, I am saddened that due to my pitiful conversion skills, I won’t be able to experiment with the recipe). I would use a food scale to measure out all of the twisted UK recipes I’ve found that sound so incredibly good…

  100. I would use it for baking! I’m usually incredibly imprecise and that might have something to do with why some of the recipes I try come out all botched up :p

  104. It would be so handy to have a scale on hand for weighing things when a recipe calls for a certain amount in weight. Sometimes I’ve resorted to looking at my grocery store receipt to see what the weight was at the store, so that I can make an educated guess. It would also be handy for pasta recipes. I usually don’t use an entire package for a recipe, and so I have to eyeball it on amounts.

  105. I would use a kitchen scale for EVERYTHING!!! I find it makes baking soooo much easier, as I can use many fewer utensils (not having to use any measuring cups, and can measure directly into the mixing bowl), and everything is super accurate. Weight measurements are also great for dieting, as you can teach yourself what a “serving” looks like 🙂

  107. Followed on pinterest & repinned! & Id make a small batch of something killer..super decadent since weight measures are so much easier to divide 🙂

  116. If I win this scale…..I would use it to reach my goal of 150 by 50….that is I hope to reach the weight of 150 lbs, by the time I reach 50…next January. My total weight loss will be 50 lbs.
    I liked you on facebook and I signed up w/my e-mail.

    • I see that it says 1:33 am on my time stamp… didn’t know if I can still make the contest…it’s 11:33 pm here in Idaho. 🙂

    • Dena,

      Good luck with you weight loss journey!!! And yes, you are still eligible for the giveaway (it doesn’t end until tonight-wednesday).

  117. I would definitely use it to weight meats and fish. The only thing I really “count” in my diet is grams of protein, and I have NO idea how many grams I am getting when I eat things like chicken breasts or steaks. That would be awesome to know!

  119. I’d use the food scale to assist me in my goals of healthier eating and modest weight loss.

  122. I’d definitely use it to measure out portions. I’m in the midst of a sugar-free lifestyle change and learning to control my portions is a huge part of that.

    Thanks for the chance!

      Good luck on your sugar-free journey! If you ever need any help, feel free to email me!

  134. I have an autoimmune digestive disease and portion is really important for my fragile frame. I would use the scale to make sure that each ingredient is portioned perfectly. This way, I will ensure a healthy body and mind for myself. I would also spread the knowledge to friends and family who are struggling to find the correct portion for food!
    Thank you
