New Year?s Giveaway! EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale


By Brown Eyed Baker (Visit website)




Maybe your New Year’s resolution is to eat better/smarter/healthier. Or maybe your New Year’s resolution is to bake by weighing ingredients instead of using measuring cups *ahem*. I would certainly encourage you to adopt the former, if you haven’t already! As I have gone on and on about before, I am a HUGE proponent of using a scale to weigh ingredients instead of scooping them into measuring cups, which can account for some drastic differences in quantities. No matter your New Year’s resolution, this scale is sure to be a great asset in your kitchen.


The folks at EatSmart were kind enough to send me a Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale to try out before offering one to all of you, and I made sure to give it a work out. You can weigh ingredients in grams, kilograms, ounces or pounds which is great since most recipes that originate pretty much anywhere but the U.S. list ingredients using metric measurements. As an added bonus for those of you that are watching what you eat, the scale comes with a book of conversions for hundreds of common foods. Once you weigh the food, you multiply its weight by the accompanying number in the book, and that will tell you how many calories are in whatever you just weighed.


As I have mentioned before, I have been using the Escali Pana Volume Measuring Scale for over a year now, and since I have heavily promoted it in the past I felt compelled to do a comparison between the two. The biggest difference is that the Escali scale has over 500 ingredients preprogrammed with accompanying codes so if, for instance, you need 2 cups of all-purpose flour but don’t want to look up how many ounces or grams is in a cup, you set the scale to “volume” and input the code for “all-purpose flour” and add flour until the display reads 2 cups. You could then toggle to ounces or grams to see how much is there for future reference.


Aside from that, there are minimal differences and while I do love the Escali scale, I am more than happy to recommend the EatSmart scale to anyone who needs to weigh kitchen ingredients.


Since I always beg you to weigh your ingredients, I am now giving you a tool to make it happen! See the details below on how to enter to win an EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale. I will choose one lucky winner at random, so be sure to get your entries in! Good luck!
