For use on-the-go, or as an ultra-accurate digital scale for cooking and baking: ideal for measuring items such as yeast measurements in bread recipes. I use this at home for measuring yeast for my bread recipes (yeast quantities are often so small in artisan breads that a gram here or there really does make a huge difference). Also handy if you just want something small to keep on your kitchen counter to help with portion control for dieting/nutrition. 250g total capacity (8oz), in 0.1g (0.005oz) increments. Compact -- fits in pocket or briefcase. Weighing tray inverts for use as a travel cover. 10-year guarantee. Batteries included.
