To achieve gourmet results in the kitchen, a recipe often requires precise ingredient measurements down to the very last grain of salt. In such cases, at home or on the road, Polder's pocketsize digital scale is the perfect tool. The petite device features a removable tray that holds ingredients and doubles as a lid for compact storage or travel. The scale displays both metric and imperial systems, weighing articles up to 500 grams or 1 pound respectively, and monitors weights in 0.1-gram or .005-ounce increments. An add-and-weigh function allows chefs to combine different ingredients for one comprehensive weight--ideal for mixing spices such as cardamom and cumin to create garam masala for an Indian recipe. Powered by included, long-life lithium batteries, the scale automatically shuts off when idle for an extended time period. Polder offers a one-year warranty for defective parts or craftsmanship. The scale measures 4-1/2 by 3 by 1 inches, and weighs 1 pound when shipped. --Jessica Reuling

 It's decent October 4, 2008

It's precise to within .1 grams, but it's certainly not that accurate. If you turn the scale off and back on, you're probably going to get a reading that's as much as half a gram different from the last. Why don't they make these things work off solar power? I hate dealing with batteries, and the little ones are the worst.
Not a bad scale, but not a good scale either.
 Love This Product July 25, 2008

I purchased the Polder Pocket Sized Digital Scale, because I was on a diet and needed to measure out my food. I was going on vacation and needed to have a scale. This scale is so convenient and it is small enough to pack in your purse or backpack. It is very accurate and easy to use. I would recommend this to anyone.

The best little scale for me I bought this as a take with me scale so I can weigh my portions. It fits in my purse and is very conveient for me to use I just take a cheap sandwhich bag and lay it over the tray so that I can easily clean it after using. I recommend this scale to anyone who like me has had gastric bypass or if you just need to make sure of the amount of food you are eating.
 A US nickel weighs 5 grams May 25, 2008

We were searching for a scale to help us accurately weigh food for the calculation of weight watchers points. A US nickel weighs 5 grams and this scale was dead on. It was small enough for travel and camping and weighs small amounts very nicely. We have used it for spices, meats and letters. The supplied holder for the food (that is also the lid) works best with this scale. We tried using a pyrex cup and even after taring the scale back to zero the total weight exceeded the scales maximum weight limit and would error out. so stick with the lid. we have simply wrapped it with plastic wrap when doing meats. Any other light container will work but most of our plastic bowls were to big and would block the display. The narrow glad containers that lunch-meat comes in worked great! if you to need weigh things over 1 pound or need to use odd size bowls this is not the scale for you. You need one of the $100+ scales. But for $30 this has been more than worth the price!

I needed a scale when I recently had to start home cooking a specially prescribed diet for my dog. The ingredients had to be measured in grams and fractions of a gram. After spending much time researching scales, this one had all the features I was looking for.
The scale is small in size but big enough for me to put a small plastic bowl on the tray for weighing the bulkier ingredients like the chicken or rice. It is accurate, literally right down to a grain of rice or a drop of oil. Because of its compact size it fits right in the cupboard and takes no room at all. It also measures in ounces at the push of a button should I want to do that with something else. I wear glasses for close-up reading; however, the digital numbers on the scale are large enough for me to read minus my glasses with no difficulty. The price is very reasonable and the shipping was fast. One of the soft plastic crescent shaped grippers did come off after I used the scale a couple of times, but I was able to stick it back on.
I highly recommend this Polder Pocket Size Digital Scale.
