Etekcity Food Kitchen Scale, Digital Grams and…
At $13.99 with no monthly fees or app requirement, the total cost of ownership is just the initial purchase and two AAA batteries.

What we looked at
- 01Capacity & Precision 11 lb / 5 kg capacity with 1 g increments
The 1 gram step is tight enough for baking (where precision matters) but the 11 lb ceiling keeps you honest—you can weigh anything from a pinch of salt to a Sunday roast. No false promises about accuracy you won't notice.
- 02Build & Upkeep 304 food-grade stainless steel surfaces
Stainless steel doesn't absorb odours or stains, and a quick wipe is all it needs. It's the material choice of actual kitchens, not a gimmick. The small footprint means it lives on your counter or hides in a cabinet without complaint.
- 03Interface 5 units (g, oz, lb:oz, fl'oz, mL), tare function, backlit LCD with large fonts
Tare resets the scale to zero so you can weigh ingredients right into a bowl. Five units cover baking, liquids, and international recipes. The backlit screen is large enough to read without leaning in—practical design, not overthought.
