OXO Good Grips 5 lb Kitchen Scale, Black, with Pull-Out Display

The OXO Good Grips 5 lb (2.25 kg) Kitchen Scale with Pull-Out Display is a cordless food scale for portioning ingredients, with a removable platform and readings in 1/8-ounce (US) and 1-gram (metric) increments.

• 5 lb (2.25 kg) capacity — weigh portions and ingredients up to the scale’s maximum.
• Measures in 1/8-ounce (US) and 1-gram (metric) increments — choose the measurement detail suited to your recipe.
• Pull-out display — move the screen away from the base to reduce shadowing from plates, bowls, or large containers.
• Zero function — tare a container or reset the reading before adding another ingredient.
• Removable platform and slim profile — lift the platform off for hand washing and store the scale easily.
• Cord-free operation with four AAA batteries included — set up without a power cord.

When a recipe calls for measured portions or several ingredients added to one bowl, a food scale can make weighing straightforward. This black OXO scale is made for measuring meat, produce, spices, and other ingredients directly on its platform or in a plate or bowl. Its movable display and tare function support weighing when a container is part of the process.

What can I weigh with the OXO Good Grips Kitchen Scale?

You can weigh ingredients on the platform or place them on a plate or in a bowl. The scale is suited to portioning meat, produce, spices, and other ingredients, with capacity up to 5 lb (2.25 kg). Large digital numbers make the reading easy to see, and the display has an optional backlight.

• A capacity indicator shows how much weighing capacity remains before the maximum is reached.
• Use the scale for individual portions or ingredients measured as part of a recipe.

How does the pull-out display help when weighing in a bowl?

The display pulls away from the base so a large container is less likely to cast a shadow over the screen. This lets you position the readout for visibility while the bowl or plate stays on the weighing platform. Press Zero to remove the container’s weight from the reading, then add ingredients and reset the scale before adding more.

• The Zero button supports container taring and resetting between additions.
• The display can be positioned separately from the base during weighing.

How do I clean and store the scale?

The weighing platform lifts off the base and can be washed by hand. The scale’s thin profile is designed for simple storage, and its cordless setup keeps a power cord out of the way on the counter.

• Four AAA batteries are included.
• The scale measures in US and metric increments.

This scale suits home cooks who portion ingredients, measure recipe additions, or weigh food in a container. It is designed for loads up to 5 lb (2.25 kg), rather than weighing items beyond that capacity. For cooks who want a cordless scale with a movable readout and a removable hand-wash platform, the OXO Good Grips Kitchen Scale brings those features together in a slim design.
