If you like to cook, you have probably run across more than one recipe, or likely more than 100, that call for so many ounces of this or so many grams of that to be added to the dish. When you run across these requirements, if you’re like me, you probably end up guessing how much to add. Is a pinch the same as a gram? How many ounces to the handful? I finally got tired of guessing and solved the problem.

I bought a new kitchen scale. The model I bought can be switched between grams, ounces, pounds, or even kilograms for those Europeans recipes. It also can zero out the weight of a container with the tare function so that I can weigh liquids or powders accurately, too. With the new kitchen scale my recipes turn out the same every time, not too spicy one day and not spicy enough the next like they used to. I use it all the time now.

In addition to figuring out how much of various items belong in each recipe when I’m cooking, I use the digital kitchen scale to figure out whether I’m really sticking to my diet. My diet calls for specific portion sizes in order to keep my daily calories within a certain limit. If you are guessing at what constitutes 3 ounces of red meat or one ounce of cheese, then you are guessing at calories. If you can’t accurately measure portion sizes then the only way you can find out if you’re staying within your limits are by using the bathroom scale to see if you lost weight at the end of the week. I prefer to be a little more proactive and not risk wasting a week of dieting time.

Sure there are the rules of thumb for portion sizes, like three ounces of red meat is about the size of a deck of playing cards, but I find that the hungrier I am, the bigger a deck of playing cards can be. While with a digital kitchen scale, I get a serving size of exactly three ounces every time. Not only do my recipes taste better, but I am losing weight regularly too. Now that’s a purchase I don’t regret.

Kitchen scales don’t need to cost a lot. A good fully featured scale can be purchased for less than forty or fifty dollars. In fact, for that price you can even get talking kitchen scales that read the weight aloud for those with poor eyesight. I recommend that you order your kitchen scale today, and until it arrives you can use the excuse of misjudged portion sizes for not losing weight, but after it shows up in the mail, no more excuses.
