So my venerable Ozeri Pro scale died today. The disappointment part is that I was all set to make Quiche Lorraine – and I’ve found that instead of volume measurement, it’s better to use weight to measure items.

Now I bought that Ozeri back in 2010 – so I’ve gotten 7 years of pretty heavy use out of it. But alas today went to use it and it won’t power up, even with fresh batteries. Now I’d obtained this from Amazon back then.

Someone suggested we go to Bed, Bath and Beyond and get a new one. I answered that I wasn’t spending $30 on a kitchen scale. So I fired up Amazon, searched for the term Ozeri and what popped was a nice flat panel scale with LED display. Does all the standard units like grams, kilograms, ounces and pounds. So I think it’ll do the trick for a few more years.
