Measuring cups can yield different results depending on the density of the ingredient and how the cook packs it. The Escali Pana scale solves this problem with accurate volume measurements in cups and tablespoons as well as ounces, pounds, and grams. With a 6.6-pound capacity, the Pana scale accurately measures in 1/8-cup, ½-tablespoon, 0.1-ounce or one-gram increments. It is preprogrammed with more than 150 ingredients that are commonly measured in cups and tablespoons. The tare feature subtracts a container's weight to obtain the weight of its contents, and the automatic shut-off feature ensures long battery life. The scale’s stainless-steel plate is removable for quick clean-up. One heavy-duty 9V battery is included (AC adaptor optional), as well as an operations manual with ingredient codes and laminated ingredient code list.

Great scale,

Very nice design. I'm impressed that although this scale has some fairly sophisticated features, it is still simple to use. You press just one button to get a basic weight measurement. Just another press and you can use the tare feature. Changing units is just a press of a very obvious button. The volume function (a very handy feature) doesn't get in the way of the simpler functions. As a designer myself, I can appreciate the thought that went into this product. I get annoyed when I see a product that is overly complicated and requires a user's manual to do the simplest thing. This produce was designed properly for easy use in the kitchen.
Best scale for baking I've ever used,

The ability of this scale to weigh by volume was truly a revelation. I enjoy baking and for a long time used a Salter Aquatronic scale -- weighing is truly the way to go! Still, the majority of recipes are written with volume measurements and this has always posed a problem to me. Unless I wrote all my conversions down -- which I did for a few favorite recipes -- I had to pull out all usual measuring gadgetry. This scale changed all that. The absolute most number of bowls I might use is two, but 98% of the time I can get away with just using one. Referencing the included laminated chart, you enter an ingredient's corresponding number, measure it out, hit the tare button and keep going. Usually I'll measure out the dry ingredients first, set them aside on some waxed paper, measure out the wet ingredients, then mix everything together in the same bowl.
Another unexpected bonus was being able to bake much more accurately. I found out one handblown glass measuring beaker I'd been using was unacceptably off. And of course you will have fewer items to wash. This scale's platform lifts off the base for easy cleaning. I didn't bother to get the AC adapter. My old scale used batteries and I only changed them once in 5 years, so I expect this Escali will have similar power usage. I've been using the scale for about a year now and cannot imagine baking without it.

The scale is good looking, light weight and very efficient--you type in the code for the product to be measured and, as you pour the ingredient into a container, the scale indicates the weight or volume needed!
