This Kitchen Tool Will Help You Become a Better Chef

A pinch of this, a dollop of that — ad libbing ingredients may work for seasoned chefs, but if you’re just getting started, that can get unwieldy. An easy way to avoid disasters in the kitchen is by investing in something even more precise than measuring cups, like this Tare Digital Kitchen Scale. This stainless steel, easy-to-clean kitchen scale can handle up to 11 pounds of ingredients, and can measure down to the milliliter, gram, liquid ounce, or dry ounce (and yes, there’s a difference between those last two). Because it's made of stainless steel, it's also super easy to maintain. Not only will it help you nail recipes that require very specific measurements, but it’ll also assist with portion control. The Tare Digital Kitchen Scale is normally $65, but you can get it on sale today for only $30.
