Why this gift works
The OXO Good Grips 11 lb Stainless Steel Food Scale weighs up to 11 pounds in 1-gram or 1/8-ounce steps, with zero (tare) and unit-conversion buttons. Its large backlit display pulls out from the base, so a wide mixing bowl or sheet pan does not hide the reading, then slides back in for storage. The stainless steel platform lifts off for cleaning, it runs on four AAA batteries (included), and it measures 11-1/4 by 8-1/2 by 2 inches.
Keen bakers work by weight because cups are inconsistent - a cup of flour changes with how it is scooped. A scale is the tool that makes recipes come out the same every time, and bread recipes written in grams need one. It suits anyone moving from cups to weights.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- A baker moving from cups to grams
- A bread baker working in baker's percentages
- Stocking a new kitchen
Think twice if
- They need to weigh tiny amounts precisely
- They already own a scale they like
The catch
It reads in 1-gram steps, so it is not precise enough for tiny amounts like a few grams of yeast or salt. It runs on AAA batteries, and it costs more than basic kitchen scales.
Skip if they already bake by weight with a scale they like, or only need a small scale for measuring tiny amounts.

What to look for in a kitchen scale for baking
- Capacity. 11 lb covers a big bowl of dough plus the bowl itself.
- Readability. A display that pulls out or sits clear of the platform stays visible under wide bowls.
- Units. Grams are the baker's unit; this reads in 1 g or 1/8 oz steps.
- Precision. For tiny amounts of yeast or salt, measuring spoons or a pocket scale that reads finer than 1 g work better.
