Diet Utility Scale for your basic weighing needs features a large bowl with pour spout as well as a calibrating wheel.
For health-conscious cooks concerned about accurate portion control, Polder's little scale is just the ticket. Small enough to tuck in a drawer, its plain design and light color blend in on the countertop as well. The bowl is detachable and dishwasher-safe--just wipe down the scale as necessary--and the red dial is easy to read, measuring in both ounces and grams. Not just for dieters, it also works well as a first kitchen scale for bakers who want to see if weighing ingredients makes a noticeable difference over standard measuring cups. --Jill Lightner

Not a bad little cheap-o item:
I won't lie - the low price point was what sold me on this scale. I wasn't sure how much I'd use one in the kitchen, so I didn't want a large investment. This little guy does his job. The tray holds the measured food well, whether it be solid or liquid. There's better scales out there, but if you're just looking for something inexpensive to get the basic job done, this will do it.
The ultimate $6 scale:
I wasn't expecting much but this little scale has performed perfectly in helping us weigh and measure everything on our diet. The unit is very small and seems to be very accurate. It can only weigh up to 1 pound, but for quick and small measurements there's really nothing better. The measurement bucket detaches and washes easily.
Cool but one problem:
A very nice and useful and cost-effective scale. The only thing I don't like is that the numbers part is curved, so looking at it from different directions changes where the thing is pointing.
It's small, but it works:
This little guy is exactly what I wanted. Right after the 5 second assembly I measured out some almonds and veggies. There is a small dial to recalibrate which worked as intended. The measurements go up to 500g or slightly over 1 lb. The little white measuring bowl has a convenient spout on the corner. My wife accidentally washed the bowl in the dishwasher behind my back and she used the steam heat to dry. I didn't read any directions because this thing is truly self-explanatory, but don't expose it to... more info
