[Sca-cooks] What Scales do you recommend?

[Johnna Holloway]

I have to laugh. I have a very expensive digital scale
that I acquired one March just in time to weigh Pinewood Derby cars!
Works in the kitchen too of course but it was purchased to weigh cars.
It came from Edmund Scientific, I think.

And it would be great if there were settings to allow either pounds and ounces or metric measurements?
