‘Weighing’ in on the Benefits of Using Electronic Kitchen Scales
There is one item that has proved its worth in my fight agaisnt the bulge ... that is an electronic kitchen scale. I never knew how important this gadget could be in your journey to health and successful weight loss.
Before I owned a kitchen food scale I would just wing it when it came to measuring ingredients ... if a recipe called for 2 pounds of potatoes I would eyeball it. If I had a recipe that said 9oz of chicken I would size up the chicken based on his compartive girth to the other chicken choice and the smaller piece won the day.
But now that I have discovered the wonder and magic of an electronic kitchen scale I am in love!
Let me explain why I am so excited
Have you ever tried to make a recipe only to end up with something that didn't taste nearly as great as the reviews or promises? I've learned that proper measurements is key to great tasting recipes.
I was one of those people that rolled my eyes when I saw details in a recipe that said 2 oz of this or 6 grams of that ... I never took those measurements seriously until now!
With a digital kitchen scale you simply put an empty bowl on the scale ... zero the scale ... then fill the bowl with the required ingredient until it reaches the correct weight! Presto instant accuracy! No more eyeballing, guessing or counting in your head.
