Escali Primo Digital Kitchen Scale (Plastic Version)

The Escali Primo Digital Kitchen Scale is a lightweight, affordable, and highly reliable plastic-body kitchen scale designed for home cooks and bakers. With an 11 lb (5,000 g) capacity and 1-gram/0.05 oz precision, it delivers fast, accurate readings in grams, ounces, or pounds+ounces. The scale features a bright, easy-to-read LCD display and just two sealed buttons (On/Tare and Unit) that are spill-resistant and simple to clean.

It comes with a removable orange (or color-matched) plastic bowl that snaps securely onto the platform, ideal for weighing fruits, produce, loose ingredients, or liquids without extra dishes. The tare function instantly zeros out the weight of any container or the bowl itself. An automatic shut-off after approximately 4 minutes preserves battery life (2 AA batteries included).

Measuring only 8.5 × 6 × 5.5 inches (21.5 × 15 × 14 cm) without the bowl and 20.5 cm tall with the bowl attached, its small footprint fits easily on any counter or in a drawer. Available in multiple fun colors (including chrome, black, and warm red in addition to the classic orange), the Primo combines practicality with a cheerful design. Backed by Escali’s lifetime warranty, it consistently ranks as the best overall kitchen scale in reviews from Wirecutter, Serious Eats, and Bon Appétit for its accuracy, durability, and excellent value
