Mira Touch Glass Digital Kitchen Food Scale Review (Plus 5 reasons you NEED a food scale)!

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I will admit I am kind of a kitchen gadgets junky! I love kitchen toys…anything to make cooking easier, funner, more exciting or of course more tasty. The MIRA Touch Professional Digital Kitchen Scale is my newest kitchen gadget! Made from beautiful tempered glass (4 times stronger than normal glass) and with an extra large LCD screen (making it easier to read) and the perfect size to fit anywhere in the kitchen (it’s about the size of a tablet). PLUS check out all the other color options for the perfect complement to your kitchen. I got a super sleek looking red digital scale.

• Digital Kitchen scale with advanced touch sensitive buttons for easy operation. Measures in grams, ounces, pounds. Zeroes out the container.
• No more squinting to see the food scale display – Large easy-to-read back lit LCD display that displays weights in pounds, kilograms, grams, and ounces (lb./oz, kg/g, fl.oz., ml).
• TARE function ignores plates and dishes; weighing only the food inside.. Slim profile kitchen scale – fits nicely in small spaces – the perfect size for a kitchen scale. Glass platform is easy to clean.
• Accurate weight measurements from .1 oz. to 11 lbs. (1 gram to 5 kgs). 2 year warranty. Uses 4 x AAA batteries (included)

Now for why I (and you) need a food scale…

1. It’s more accurate! I measured flour in a one cup measuring cup 2 times and both times I got a different number. Hence, if you are cooking or baking something that requires extremely accurate measurements…a food scale is your best bet!
2. Helps with weight loss! Many diet plans give you a specific menu plan. However, unless you have a food scale you can’t totally follow the menu as a majority of the time the meal plan suggestions come in suggested weights. For instance, 3 ounces of white meat for lunch…how are you going to know how much chicken you are portioning out if you don’t have an accurate scale to measure it with?!?!
3. Makes shipping products easier! These days there is no need to wait in line at the Post Office to mail something out. Just weight it at home…go online and print out a mailing label! So easy…and because of the super awesome accuracy of this scale it works perfectly for weighing mail.
4. Great Home Schooling Tool! This food scale is great for those of you who have small kids or home school! My kids have been learning more about measurements and the metric system, so they have had a great time finding things in the kitchen and around the house to weight. We even practice doing some estimating first! Such a great learning tool! Plus it weights from .1 oz to 11 lbs (or 1 gram to 5 kgs).
5. It’s just cool! Ok seriously no joke…it just looks cool on my counter! Like a super high tech kitchen tablet on my counter!
