Digital Food Scale

Priority one..... get yourself a reliable food scale. Get two, heck–get three! I have scales everywhere - three in kitchen, one in my purse, and one at his school. You're probably asking yourself why does she have three scales in her kitchen? Check out this post about My Mini Prep Station to find out. In the meantime, I recommend this small but mighty food scale.

Pros:
-Perfect size for day-to-day food prep
-Backlight LCD display
-Pocket-sized, great for on-the-go
-11lb capacity
-2 trays for weighing food included

Cons:
-Liquids can easily leak into the LCD screen
-Not always reliable for high precision measurements (for example, may have difficulty registering .9 g of protein powder)
