Every kitchen should have a kitchen scale. My personal scale is a Cuisinart Perfect Weight Digital Kitchen Scale, KML - 10. Originally, I purchased it to help me in my quest for weight loss. 30 grams per serving? 2 ounces per serving? I had no idea what they were. Now I find that I use it not only to track portions, I also find that recipes with weights - especially in grams - are easier to work with. If you have everyone in your home measure a cup of flour, you will get all different weights. Remember Home Ec? If your teachers were like mine, you were to pack the cup and level it off with a knife. Talk to a pastry chef today and they will tell you that you get too much flour that way.
So invest in a good scale, it will find it's way to everyday use.
