    I have the Salter kitchen scales, I think they were about $100, I love them, the convert from lbs/oz and kgs/gms plus fuid as well and the can be zeroed out so that you can put a normal plate on the scales and then add food, zero it again and then add more food
    Do you mean digital or analogue? I have a set of Salter ones too... love them... not digital (I'm too old fashioned for them)... piccy HERE. I've found them to be very accurate.

    I like those scales Bath! I have the Tupperware scales. They do the job, but I do have to be careful what surface I put them on, they don't seem to like my chopping board even though it is big and flat.

    Most people seem to have digital ones these days but i just don't trust them. Is that odd? I figure the more complicated (electronic) something is the more there is to go wrong... and what if society collapses and you lose a source of electricity? It's the same with ovens... I swoon over wood burning Agars... (does anyone know if there is a thread about them?).

    I have had the Salter Aquatronic for about 3 years and love them. Have had no probs at all with them. They were $150 and still are but are often 30-40% off in post-Xmas sales.

    My two cents worth - I got my digital scales from Big W for $15 and they work great! Imperial and metric, 1g increments and a tare function. Sweet!
