OXO Good Grips 5 lb. Food Scale Giveaway!

I'm super excited to be part of the OXO Blogger Outreach Program. As a part of this program, they have offered me the opportunity to give away one of their products. If there is any product I have ever wanted, that is, that I don't already have, it is a food scale. I often encounter recipes asking for 6 ounces of mushrooms or 6 ounces of pasta, etc. How is one to know if they have 6 or 8 ounces of anything?  Well, with this new OXO Good Grips 5 lb. food scale with pull-out display, I will never have to question it. And I get to give one away too!

Just tonight, I was making a recipe that called for 6 ounces of pasta. Most boxes of pasta are 8 ounces. With my new food scale, I was able to measure out 6 ounces and use the correct amount of pasta. They also say it can be helpful to those on diets for which you are required to measure out portions. The possibilities are endless.

About OXO
OXO began with a few simple questions - Why do ordinary kitchen tools hurt your hands? Why can't there be wonderfully comfortable tools that are easy to use?

After hundreds of models, dozens of design iterations, and extensive research, OXO was born. In 1990, the first group of 15 OXO Good Grips kitchen tools was introduced to the U.S. market. These ergonomically-designed, transgenerational tools set a new standard for the industry and raised the bar of consumer expectation for comfort and performance. Today, OXO offers over 850 products covering many areas of the home.


About the 5 lb. Food Scale
OXO’s user-friendly Food Scale with Pull-Out Display is perfect for weighing all ingredients. Weigh items directly on the platform, on a plate or in a bowl, and pull the display away from the base to prevent shadowing from large plates and bowls. Accurately measure ingredients when cooking and baking or stick to a diet by weighing portions. A weight indicator shows the capacity left on the Scale before maximum capacity is reached. Press the zero button to offset the weight of a container or to set the weight back to zero so you can add additional ingredients. The display features large, easy-to-read numbers which measure in 1/8-ounce (imperial) and 1-gram (metric) increments. The plastic platform can be removed for cleaning. The Scale has a 5-pound capacity and two AAA batteries are included.

Disclosure: In accordance with the OXO Blogger Outreach Program, I received these scales for free.
