I have a scale like that for big stuff and for smaller measurements I have a pocket drug scale that does decigrams.

Just get a jewelers scale for small stuff and a kitchen scale for bigger measurements.

I bought this one last Spring and I use it often. So fat I'm very pleased with it. It goes to 0.1g

Ever find yourself wondering, "Man, now I've got 4 kilos of stuff and I have to measure stuff in batches. This sucks?"

Or do you find a 3 kilo upper limit to be fine for everyday use?

Not the guy with the scale, but I don't think I've ever weighted a single item above 3kg in my home kitchen. Everthing that might be above 3kg is usually preweighted (turkey, roasts, other large joints, etc).

I never really need to weigh more than 1 kilo of stuff

Got one from my local thrift shop for $5

Does anyone else take a luggage scale to the grocery store so you know you're not being ripped off?

No. Luggage scales have horrible accuracy. You'd be lucky if they were +/- 20%.....whereas the scales in the produce department are certified accurate by a regulatory agency.

ah, the bad cook's crutch

Because great cooks need a handicap. The result doesn't matter, the sheer obtuseness needed does.

>>7485680
What kind of scale do you cook on so you'd need to weigh massive amounts like that? Things that require measuring rarely go above 500g.

>>7486546
Fair point. I think the closest I get is when baking bread, but not that close.

Guess I'm just paranoid.

>>7486546
You could easily go above a kilo if doing a large batch of bread or cake batter and were weighing everything in the one bowl, but 3kg is definitely more than enough for a domestic setting.

>>7485008
i have that exact one

>>7485680
if it's really that much of an issue then buy a second scale with a higher limit
I really doubt you're going to need more than 3 kilo (about 6.6 pounds)

I use my kitchen scales when I make homebrew and sometimes I put the entire pot of water on the scales so I can add stuff to it. It's not really necessary but it makes it easier when I'm using extracts and stuff that seems to stick to everything and I'd rather just add it straight to the pot.

why do you need accuracy within 0.1 g?

This is the one i use http://www.smartweighscales.com/product/digital-kitchen-scale-with-removable-bowl-2kg-by-0-1g/. Has 0.1 and comes with a handy bown that doubles as a protective lid for the scale. Plus the price is right. I ordered calibration weights and can verify fthe scale is very accurate, not just precise.
