Rounded and smooth to the touch, the Soehnle Vera digital scale brings a youthful look to kitchen food preparation. Despite a lightweight, plastic body that makes it ideal for storage, the scale weighs items up to a hefty 11 pounds (5 kg) in 0.05-ounce (1 g) increments, either directly on the platform or with the use of any bowl or plate. Easy one-button operation turns the scale on and off and resets the readout to zero after a bowl or any ingredient is added. With this convenient add-and-weigh feature, only one bowl is needed for measuring a host of different ingredients. A switch on the back sets the mode to either metric or imperial. Made in Switzerland, the scale measures 8-1/2 by 5-3/4 by 1-3/4 inches. Soehnle includes the four AA batteries required for operation, and covers the scale with a 5-year warranty. --Ann Bieri
