The OXO 22-lb food scale with its pull-out display is perfect for weighing all ingredients. Weigh items directly on the platform,on a plate or in a bowl, and pull the display away from the base to prevent shadowing from large plates and bowls. Accurately measure ingredients when cooking and baking, or stick to a diet by weighing portions. An optional back light makes the display easier to read and a weight indicator shows the capacity left on the Scale before maximum capacity is reached. Press the zero button to offset the weight of a container or to set the weight back to zero so you can add additional ingredients. The display features large, easy-to-read numbers which measure in 1/8-ounce (US) and 1-gram (metric) increments. The scale also measures volume in mL and cups for water-based ingredients, and features a conversion chart that slides out from the body to measure other popular ingredients like flour and oil. The stainless steel platform can be removed for cleaning. The Scale has a 22-pound capacity and four AAA batteries are included.
