Well I went to Amazon to order a food scale, but there a gadzillion choices. Help!
Too late I already ordered the other one. :lol3: Ah well, it comes with lots of good reviews. What's another $15......Gail, have you ordered it already? Because I just found this: I don't know if it's made in the US or not, but it's small and apparently accurate.
But it's wicked thin (just a hair over half an inch) and you could probably slide it sidewise in a kitchen cabinet or under the silverware drawer or someplace similar.Thanks for the recommendation. I want a new scale, just because if ours does stop working, it might not be at a convenient time to get a new one.I saw that when I was looking, and though it's a touch large for our space, I was REALLY interested in it because it looks so easy to clean.
OH LOVE this scale, AC!!! If I needed a new one, I would get this. :bigthumb:For anyone still looking, this is the second scale I've bought and I love it: http://www.amazon.com/Ozeri-Professional-Digital-Kitchen-Tempered/dp/B003MSZBSI/ref=sr_1_sc_3?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1346118877&sr=1-3-spell&keywords=ozo+kitchen+food+scale
The top is one solid layer of glass, making it easy peasy to clean. Turning it on and off is a simple touch of the circle on the right that says "tare", and, obviously, once it's on, touching that same spot adds the "tare" amount. Switching from grams to ounces to pounds & ounces is just a matter of tapping the circle on the left until you hit the measurement you want to use, and the scale weighs from .10 ounces all the way to 11 pounds.
It's on sale right now for $26.95 ($8.00 off).

But it's not storing it that's the problem, it's using it. :lol3: It's 9" long. The current one is 7 1/2", and that 1.5" makes a difference with our counter space.But it's wicked thin (just a hair over half an inch) and you could probably slide it sidewise in a kitchen cabinet or under the silverware drawer or someplace similar.Thanks for the recommendation.

ooooh!
:lol3: And that space ends at the edge of the picture - that's a wall. I have the cutting board/cover for the sink during travel that I have sitting on top of the stove. There is some counter space on the other side of the sink, but if I put anything over there, it's just a free-for-all. :lol3:Ah, I can see the problem, bummer! (And sweet Flowerbelle, too!)

YES, that must be what she's doing! :lol3:Is she doing quality control checks? She is such a beautiful girl.
Yep - the perfect size for small spaces! :lol3: Shelly still pulls the food out of the dish to chomp on it. I put down placemats I can wash off, but I've been wondering if flat plates with a small lip (to contain some liquid) would change that. :dk:Those are the feeding dishes I use too, Laurie! They are the perfect size. Shallow and wide enough not to bother whiskers, but enough lip so the food doesn't end up on the floor.
