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 haven’t used a food scale before but I have been wanting to get one and try it out for a long time!
I would use a digital scale to weigh ingredients in grams for recipes that don’t also give the US equivalent.
I would love to win the scale to use with my baking, especially macaroons

if I had a food scale I would get baking, and use it for all those recipes I’ve bookmarked but couldn’t make because i didn’t have a proper food scale!
I would like to measure my portions. I think if I really knew what my portions were I would be in SHOCK!!
I use a food scale when I look forward to recipe tasting the same every time.
