I actually have an antique, but working, egg grading scale.

If you do any amount of cooking I find that a kitchen scale is worth far more than the little space it takes up.

A digital scale is game changing for baking and (to a lesser extent) cooking. I dragged my heels for years on the purchase and I absolutely regret not having bought one years ago.

Just think about how annoying measuring a cup of peanut butter is, scraping it out of the measuring cup, washing the cup.. vs just adding spoonfuls of peanut butter to a mixing bowl.

You can still bake just fine with measuring spoons and cups but you’ll be more consistent and better with the scale.

They are required for experiments. I like to add a small amount of baking soda into my banana bread for a nicer crust but if you add too much, think 0.X grams too much, then the banana bread could begin to have a vaguely pretzel-like taste.

Just buy one.
