OXO Good Grips 5-lb Digital Kitchen Scale, Black — Pull-Out Display, Removable Platform for Easy Cleaning

OXO Good Grips 5-lb Kitchen Scale is a compact digital scale with a removable platform and a pull-out display designed for accurate portioning up to five pounds.

Small kitchens, precise recipes and portion control all benefit from a dependable, easy-to-store scale. This model from OXO delivers measurements in fine increments, a detachable top for quick cleaning, and a slide-out screen that prevents large bowls or plates from casting shadows over the readout. It ships with batteries and features a clear capacity indicator so you always know how close you are to the 5-pound limit.

How accurate is the scale for everyday cooking and baking?

The scale measures in 1/8-ounce and 1-gram steps, giving you fine resolution for spices, produce and plated servings. Its digital display provides large numerals so you can read results at a glance, and the tare (Zero) function lets you subtract container weight to measure only the ingredients.

• Measures up to 5 lb (approx. 2.27 kg) with 1/8-ounce and 1 g precision
• Zero/tare feature for weighing in bowls or on plates
• Large, easy-to-read numbers reduce misreads while cooking

Why is the pull-out display useful for kitchen use?

The display slides away from the base, so tall mixing bowls or stacked plates won’t block the digits or cast shadows that make the readout hard to see. That separation also helps you position containers comfortably while keeping accurate readings.

• Slide-out screen prevents shadowing from large containers
• Optional backlight improves visibility in low light
• Angled view allows you to read numbers without leaning over the counter

How easy is it to clean and store the OXO Good Grips scale?

The weighing platform detaches for simple hand washing, eliminating trapped crumbs and spills. The scale’s low-profile silhouette slips into a drawer or cabinet, and the removable platform reduces bulk for compact storage.

• Removable platform lifts off for hand washing
• Slim profile stores vertically or flat in small spaces
• Durable materials stand up to regular kitchen use

What practical indicators and controls does it include?

Alongside the clear digital readout, this unit includes a meter that shows how much of the scale’s capacity remains, so you won’t accidentally overload it. The controls are straightforward: a Zero button for taring and a unit switch to toggle between weight systems.

• Capacity meter displays remaining weight allowance before 5-lb limit
• Zero/tare button to reset weight between additions
• Unit toggle for switching between ounces and grams

Who this is for: Home cooks, bakers and anyone managing portion sizes will find this OXO scale useful—especially households with limited counter or storage space. It’s well suited for people who need accurate small-quantity measurements, those who frequently weigh on plates or in bowls, and cooks who appreciate a clear display that remains readable even with large containers.
