Sometimes it really pays to visit other people's blogs. This was the case a few days ago when I commented on a post made by Julia at Dozen Flours. It was the last day of her giveaway, but I wanted to comment anyway on her Upside Down Sweet Cherry Cake, because I am insanely attracted to cherry desserts. She was also giving away the cookbook that contains the recipe, Rustic Fruit Desserts, and kitchen scales from EatSmart Products. So I commented and promptly forgot about it. The next day she notified me that I had won the kitchen scales!
Later I was contacted by EatSmart's Vice President, William Geronimo, who congratulated me and asked me which color I wanted! So not only did I win, but I also got to choose the color--and naturally I chose red to go with my other kitchen appliances.
I bookmarked EatSmart's website, which features high quality digital kitchen and bathroom scales and a digital food and nutrient calculator with a database of the nutrional values of over 1000 foods! EatSmart is very high on customer service, and that always gets my attention.
In my business it is important to bake products that are consistent in size and weight. To accomplish this I weigh cupcakes and muffins prior to baking them. I had been weighing my jumbo muffins on our postal scale, and this involved lugging it out of the drawer, plugging it in, and having it take up space on my counter.
My new red kitchen scales arrived yesterday by priority mail, and batteries were included! YAY! I used them right away, since I was baking muffins. It was so convenient and so precise that adding or subtracting a blueberry made a difference! The scales were easy to clean of the dabs of batter I dropped, and even though I forgot to turn them off, the scales went off after 3 minutes.
These scales are the perfect size to leave on my countertop, are easy to use, featuring measurement modes of grams, kilograms, ounces, and pounds, and will weigh up to 11 pounds. And besides all that, they are pretty!
Thank you Julia and EatSmart!

This is absolutely perfect! I am starting to become interested in baking with metric weights and need to have a scale that is easy for me to use and to understand. I cannot believe that you are serendipitously posting exactly what I need. Awesome!!! I'm going to their website and check this out.
Katy, thanks for visiting. The cost of the scales is very affordable too.
Linda, I went and ordered their white one. Can't wait to have it. I have a couple of recipes lined up to try this out with, grins!!++
Too cool, Katy!!
I meant to mention to you that I just bought a digi-kitchen scale! It's a Terraillon 5lb one and looks something like yours, but it's brushed stainless. Congrats on winning one!
Sophie, thanks--I love the red!
LadyJP, GET OUT! What a coincidence!
Congrats Linda! How cool for you! :-) And how cool you got to choose Red. ;-)
HoneyB--I think it's pretty cool too ;)
Congrats on your win! I love my kitchen scale, also.
Comes in so handy for so many things.
I cannot believe I ever got along without one. I've had it for about 3 years and it's great for weighing flour, cheese, meat (to divide up large batches) and to divide cake batter evenly between two pans. Once the baby arrives, I plan to use it more for portion control and calorie counting.
