Do you use a food scale?

Please recommend one, if you do!  I am looking to use it for measuring portions of food (WW points) and for measuring ingredients when baking.

Yes... the Oxo Good Grips scale is great.  Whichever scale you buy, try to get one with a pull-out display.  The last scale I had was sooooo annoying, because you couldn't see the weights if your bowl was too big, or if your bowl cast a shadow on the display.

This.exactly.

I had a Salter scale before that was ok,  When it died, I replaced it with the OXO because of the pull out display, and I am so glad that I did...I love it.

We use a Salter glass top digital food scale.  We've had it for abotu 5-6 years now and love it.

We have the Salter (I think we got it at Bed Bath and Beyond) and use it a lot.  We've never had a problem with it.

Yep, that's the same one we have and I love it for the same reason!

Ditto, including using a Salter first. I love my scale. It's so much faster to weigh ingredients rather than measure them by volume.
