Salter Digital Kitchen Scale

May find it useful

People who deliberately want to measure recipe ingredients or portions for a limited practical purpose and are comfortable with food weighing.

May not need it

People who already estimate portions adequately, do not need gram-level logging, or find weighing food increases anxiety, restriction or body-image concerns.

Advantages

• The manufacturer specifies a 5 kg / 11 lb maximum capacity and 1 g display increments with metric and imperial units.
• The current listing confirms tare/Add & Weigh, liquid measurement, an LED display and a slim 16 × 2 × 23 cm format.

Limitations

• NST has not independently calibrated the scale or tested repeatability, minimum reliable load, liquid conversion, durability, display readability or battery life.
• A 1 g display increment is not the same as independently verified accuracy to 1 g.
• Weighing a portion does not correct an inaccurate food-database entry or establish an individual energy requirement.
• Food weighing is unnecessary for many people and can be distressing or counterproductive where tracking worsens anxiety, restriction or body-image concerns.
• The platform is not dishwasher safe, and current instructions and guarantee-registration terms must be checked before publication.
• No price, star rating, review count or product image is recorded.
