Tare Measurement

The Oxo Good Grips has the Tare function or the zero function, which makes scaling and weighing ingredients easily and more accurately. More importantly, the zeroing scale of Oxo disregards the weight of unnecessary objects like cups, bowls, and bottles. With this function, it is now possible to measure liquids and grains accurately, with the capacity of subtracting the weight of its containers.

Imperial and Metric Measurements

Another great thing that a lot of users will enjoy when using Oxo Good Grips Food Scale is its ability to provide both imperial and metric measurements. If you want to use the old English measuring system, you may switch the option to imperial measurement. If you prefer the generic or new system of measurement, you may very well switch to metric.

Having both the imperial and metric system of measurement in Oxo Scale has some benefits as well. Users do not ever have to use a conversion table to know the equivalent of each measurement. With automatic switch from metric to imperial or vice versa, the Oxo Good Grips provides easier and hassle-free measurement of ingredients and food proportions in various measurement system.

Sturdiness

The Oxo Good Grips Food Scale can accommodate up to 11 pounds of weight in its scale. That is as heavy as a 14-inch laptop. Thus, with Oxo Good Grips, you are able to measure almost anything in your kitchen.

Additionally, its platform (which is the measuring scale) is made of stainless steel. The stainless steel platform also has a carved round rim that serves as grip to the standard size bowl, making liquid and grainy ingredients a lot easier to measure without having to worry about possible accidental slips or spills, which often happen when preparing ingredients in a hurry. 

Just like its model name suggests, the Oxo “Good Grips” Food Scale is quite sturdy and really has a good grip with bowls placed on its stainless steel platform. This feature is quite unique as there are rare food scale models that have the same carved rims to place bowls steadily.

Pull-Out Display

If you think the carved round rim on its stainless steel weighing platform is a brilliant idea, the Oxo Good Grips pull-out display will make you a lot more excited.

The Oxo Good Grip Food Scale is designed strategically to solve the common problems that most cooks and bakers encounter when it comes to measuring ingredients in the kitchen. One common problem worth mentioning is the challenge of looking at the electronic digits displayed in the weighting scale screen because the container is too big that it covers the screen.

However, with Oxo pull-out display, users will no longer have problems looking at the digits displayed in the screen as they can comfortably look at the scale’s screen by pulling out the display screen when needed.

The Value of Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is found to be one of the most beneficial metals existed. Because of the good qualities of stainless steel, this metal has been used in so many applications especially in the kitchen.

The Oxo Good Grip’s platform is made of stainless steel, which can easily be detached and is very washable. Aside from maintaining a shiny, silver color over time, this stainless steel platform is also:

• Resistant to corrosion that makes it look new and unused even after several years.
• Resistant to fire and heat that makes it a sturdy and popular metal often used in kitchen and kitchen appliances
• Very hygienic and it does not cater to any micro organisms like bacteria
• Environmentally-friendly because it is 100% recyclable

Backlight and Weight Indicator

The Oxo Good Grips Food Scale also features optional backlight to make reading easier. This feature is beneficial to individuals with poor eyesight. Additionally, it also features weight indicator that provides users information on the remaining weight left on the scale. This will avoid putting too much weight on the scale that may cause some damages on the weighing scale.

Amazon Feedback

The Oxo Good Grips Food Scale has left quite an impression to most of Amazon buyers who purchased the product. Out of 200 plus reviews on Amazon, the Oxo Good Grips received a large percentage of 5-star reviews from users. About 98% agreed that the product deserves a 5-star rating. Some of the users who are just regular cooks and bakers at home found that the Oxo Good Grips Food Scale has improved their cooking and baking. The food scale really helped them figure out the right measurement that makes their recipes perfect.

Some drawbacks that came from users who rated the product 4,3,2, and 1 star include the inconsistency of the product at giving the right measurement. Some are irritated at the auto-off backlight feature of Oxo Good Grips, where users feel very too soon when they use it.

Price

The Oxo Good Grips Food Scale is priced between $48-$50. This value is affordable enough as compared to its counterparts like Ozeri and EatSMart Kitchen Scales. If you are looking for easy-to-use and sturdy weighing scale, then Oxo Good Grips is quite a catch.   Test a digital scale as soon as you take it out of the box. Unfortunately, with a cheap price tag come some risks. Take a few cans of vegetables and check the weight of each one on the scale to assure it reads the same as what is on the label. Use large and small cans. If the scale if off, exchange it for another one.
