Scales

Just want to big-up Morrisons' £8 digital scales...Bought today and tested with UK coins: £1 coin weighs 9.5g, 20p weighs 5g etc

I'm really impressed with how accurate they are for 8 quid - bang on (not that they display half-grammes). I didn't expect them to be that accurate just because they display the weight 'digitally'. But they are.

I was previously making do with some old style small scales that just weigh below 200g for small measurements, which got me pretty close. I thought I'd have to spend quite a bit to get a really accurate set, but these seem absolutely fine, and they go up to 5Kg if needed. :

Recommended.

These modern digital scales are accurate!
The only draw back, if it is one, is they only generally resolve to 2g.

These Morrisons ones resolve to 1g, and accurately so it seems.

I have two sets of digital scales. The old one weighs up to 5kg in 5g intervals. For bread baking (and now beer) I need more precision so the new one weighs up to 3kg in 1g intervals. If I was buying a set today I would make sure it could do up to 5kg in 1g steps. Sounds like the Morrison ones are perfect and a bargain.

It was also good that, if you've got two of your own AAA batteries, you don't need to break any seals to try them out at home! I was thinking there was more than a 50% chance I'd be returning them. Not needed, as it happened.
