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 have used a food scale for over a year now to help with portion control. I have successfully lost and kept off 30 lbs! :) I was just thinking today that I need to buy a new one since mine has been so loved. I would love to win this one!
I think food scales are an absolute necessity! Especially since I’m GF and always weighing flours
I don’t own a food scale but I’d totally use it for portion control.

I’ve never had a kitchen scale but think it would come in handy, especially with all those delicious-sounding recipes I find that are all in grams and such!
