I'm planning on purchasing a scale and have no idea what a good brand is. I would like one that measures by grams and will zero out the container. I think I would like digital. I have one from WalMart that actually works pretty well, but it measures in 2 gram increments, not by the single gram.

I love my digital scale I got from Linen's and Things, used a 20% coupon, it only measures in the following increments:

liquid:
5 mL
1/4 fl oz

dry:
5 gm
1/4 oz

It comes with a conversion book for different foods.

I love it, very rarely do I pull out a measuring cup (great for shortening!)

I think the brand is Salter, I went to go find a link & couldn't find it on LNT website, it is white and gos up to 11lbs, can be zeroed out between ingredients.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Salter Aquatronic. I use it every day. The nice thing about this scale is that it stays on a good long time so if you find you have to open another bag of sugar (or answer the phone or rinse your hands, or give the baby a cookie) while you're in the middle of weighing, it won't shut off on you. It will wait for you!

Salter scales are available almost everywhere... any cooking supply site, Amazon.com, ebay, etc..
