If you know someone who has a different more expensive scale, do a comparison with the exact same piece of meat or veggies or something. -------------- Failing to plan is like planning to fail!

A good way to check is buy some spices like say 4 oz in bulk, take it home and weigh it, then you will know. -------------- Nothing is too small to know, and nothing is too big to attempt!
