Ah Summer, when we try to keep the kids occupied, our houses in order and keep the kids from loosing all memories of the stuff they learned this past school year!

I was recently sent a kitchen product that is actually helping us out on all of those topics above!

The MIRA Glass Platform Digital Kitchen Scale!

This large flat top digital food scale has an easy to read digital display is a multi-purpose tool that will be meet all your digital scale needs! It has not one, but three weighing options: grams, pounds or ounces.This is a super great feature as I follow some blogs that are in other countries, and not all the recipes they post are converted to American measurements. So this way I can weigh the ingredients and get the correct amount. For example when we made the soft caramels, we had to weight the butter to determined how many sticks we needed, as the recipes was in ounces. This was also a great math moment, as Miss Grace put one stick on the scale, weighed it with one push of the button (!!), and then had to do a subtraction figure to determine if she had enough butter. Then she had to add more and repeat, as she actually put 3 sticks on the first time, and then went back to one, and then had to do it again, to get back to 2 (the correct number for 4 oz). I let her figure it out by herself , and she was thrilled to be able to use her math skills! Cooking always has teaching moments!

We then had to weight the honey in a cup measure, and I was quite happy that the scale had a easy to clean  glass platform top- who knew honey could squirt out of the bottle? LOL! Just a wet kitchen towel and it came clean., Whew! 

The scale is very accurate, as it measures in 1g/0.1 oz increments, therefore it is perfect if you are on a strict diet, like Weight Watchers. I weighed a cup of flour is 3 different containers and got the SAME reading every time! I was very impressed! I love that it has a.TARE function which allows it to ignore plates and dishes; weighing only the food inside- so you don't have to weight your bowl first, then weight your food in the bowl! I remember when my grandmother was on Weight Watchers- that was her biggest gripe with the scale she had! She would have adored this one! And because the platform is so big, you CAN put a plate or larger bowl on it, and not be worried about the food falling off.

The only aggravation factor is that it has a 60 second power off timeout feature. Which I'm sure is to help increase the life of the battery, but if you are measuring a lot of ingredients for a recipe, and are turning to add them to the bowl, then pouring in the next one, etc, it can turn off. Turning back on is simple, it's just a minor aggravation.

If you sell items on the internet, or like me, a blogger who has to ship items, this scale can do double duty for you as well! I was trying to figure out the shipping cost to put on the item info page and put the item in it's mailer and measured it on the scale! Aha- now I could go to the postage rate site and figure out from there what an accurate shipping cost would be! Easy Peasy- problem solved! And as the scale measures up to 11 lbs (5 Kgs), it can easily help you for small packages! Obviously this is not what the scale is made for, but how great is it, that it can help you out if you need it to?


This scale is durable and made to last- it even comes with a long-lasting lithium battery (which is super, as you can use it as soon as it arrives- no hunting the store for a battery!). It is so thin you can stack it sideways in a cabinet, to clear off your counter! And even when it is on the counter, it is not that big, as you can see from the pox above! It also has a 2 year manufacturer warranty! When was the last time you had one of those on a kitchen electronic device?

I would recommend this scale to anyone looking for an accurate food scale to help them with dieting and cooking! It makes measuring a breeze, and is a real time saver!
