Here’s your chance to win a digital kitchen scale
In many other countries ingredients used in cooking and baking are weighed because 50 grams of all-purpose flour is always 50 grams of flour.
However, depending on how you measure it in a measuring cup, what you think is 1/2 cup flour one is actually 1/2 cup minus a tablespoon on the day you’re in a hurry and 1/2 cup plus one tablespoon on the day you didn’t level off your measuring cup with a knife blade. These subtleties can adversely effect baking results.
You wouldn’t want to incorrectly measure the flour on a batch of cookies and mess those up. The horrors.
There’s also the issue of portion sizes and weighing food and many people find scales helpful for that.
Also included in this giveaway is a free email consultation with a nutritionist on the SlimKicker team.

I’ve actually been wanting a kitchen scale because it’s wayyyyy more accurate and I do a lot of cooking and baking
I’m a twitter follower!
I do not own a kitchen scale, but if I did, I would use it to bake with!
I’d definitely use the scale. I’m always looking for health accountability and this is the true tool!
I’ve followed you on Pinterest, and I’ve repinned so so so many recipes. Love all of your stuff!
I love their advice to move during tv commercials. Great idea!
I twittered your give away!
I follow slim kicker on twitter.
Ooh I would definitely use that when I’m cooking for the family! Yay accurate recipes!
I like you on FB!
I would love a scale to measure cheese! 30 grams is a serving, the equivalent of a few dice, but who has dice around? I find it to be the most annoying thing and I never know if I’m eating one serving or 3 servings.
I have a similar scale and LOVE it!! But…its getting old! I use it every time I bake!
And finally, I stumbled this and am following you on StumbleUpon
I have a kitchen scale and I use it for baking and measuring out servings of trail mix (if I don’t measure it, I’ll eat it all!!). I’m afraid it’s on its last leg though; I’d love a new one.
And following on Instagram!
