Ozeri Kitchen Scale Review

I recently got a chance to review an awesome scale from Ozeri.  It's a kitchen scale so I can measure out my flours for gluten free baking instead of guessing doing the cup measurements.  This thing is so nice!  It's lightweight and small but works wonders for me.



I never realized before I got this kitchen scale how off my flour measurements were.  When you measure by cup it's not as accurate and you have troubles with the flours being too heavy so it doesn't raise and being too dry because you had too much flour.

With this kitchen scale I have been able to measure accurately and had much better results due to it!  I made my son's birthday cake using this scale and it rose like a gluten filled cake!  It was wonderful! 



Oh and I forgot to mention it has a built in kitchen timer and alarm on this thing!  How wonderful!  I normally use the timer on my oven for everything, but this is so nice for when I have two things in the oven that both need to be in for different amounts of time!

Make sure to check over here for a giveaway for four Ozeri products!  A kitchen scale, a bathroom scale, a wok, and a fan!  I would love to try the other three, but for now you'll just have to enter to win and then let me know if you do win how wonderful they are!

    It is good to know that weighing your measurements provide a better accuracy than by simply measuring them by cup(s); and having an alarm/timer on this scale is an added bonus which is very useful - especially for those of us that get preoccupied and forget that you are cooking.

    I never realized that there would be a difference when measuring by the cup and by weight. Interesting. I love that it has a timer!
    Thanks for sharing

    I've never used a kitchen scale. I don't cook often either so that could be the problem!

    I'd never really thought about measuring flour by weight vs by cup, but considering I live in a very humid area, I could see where it would make a difference. Thanks for the information!

    I never thought of a kitchen scale for flour measurements. For portion control yes. I love that idea as for flour though. I know that 1 cup unsifted flour is entirely different than 1 cup sifted flour. My mother NEVER sifted her flour and almost everything was dry. A scale would totally work better for these measurements
