The OXO Good Grips 5-Pound Food Scale with Pull-Out Display is great for weighing meat, produce, herbs, spices and more. The easy-read digital display features large numbers and measures in 1-gram increments. An optional backlight illuminates the display in low-light situations, and a convenient weight indicator shows what remains of the Scales 5-lb capacity. The digital display easily pulls away from the base to prevent shadowing from large plates or bowls. Press the Zero button to offset the weight of a container or to reset the weight to zero before adding additional ingredients. The platform removes for quick hand washing and the Scales thin profile ensures easy setup, cleanup and storage. Four AAA batteries included.
