For my birthday last year, my sister gave me a kitchen scale. I knew it would be useful for some of my bread and other recipes, but I did not know how useful it would be for other things.
I buy a lot of my food items in bulk, especially things like pasta. A lot of recipes call for 1 pound of pasta. Well, when you buy in bulk it is hard to tell what one pound of pasta is. One pound of macaroni noodles noodles is a different cup measurement than one pound of penne pasta, which is different from one pound of egg noodles.
This is where my kitchen scale comes in handy.
Now I can easily figure out what one pound of pasta is. So, thanks Flo I love my kitchen scale.
Here are some of the measurements that I figured out:

I love my kitchen scale, too! I didn’t realize how much I used it until the batteries died and it was M.I.A.! Thanks for showing some kitchen scale love!

I love my kitchen scale! I bought it because I was 30+ pounds overweight and was determined to lose weight by measuring everything I ate for a caloric counting. That lasted 3 days.
But I found out that it works great for repackaging foods for the freezer and for teaching my kids correct portions.

Great idea! I don’t have a nice kitchen scale. That might have to be on my Christmas list!!
