OXO Good Grips 5 lb. Scale Giveaway Winner

I'm pleased to announce that Melanie B. from Janesville, WI is the winner of a new OXO Good Grips 5 lb. food scale with pull-out display! Congratulations! Melanie said that she would use it for recipe preparation as well as to help her and her family eat more reasonably sized portions. Well, now you can!

Here is what she won:
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.

Thanks so much to everyone who entered! You all gave me some great ideas on how to use my new scale. Here are some of my favorites:

• Gloria K. of Keystone Heights, FL said she'd use it to measure pasta, flour, and sugar.
• Reena K. of Washington, DC said she'd use it for Jim Lahey's bread recipes and others requiring more precision.
• Courtney M. of Mount Morris, NY said she uses a scale for most of her meals to ensure proper portion sizes so she can watch her calorie intake.
• My mother also entered and said, "I would absolutely love this scale and since I have a vegan in the family, it would come in handy perfecting the recipes I need to prepare for my vegan." Cute, Mom.

Thanks again to everyone who entered!
