Right now I have the Inspired Basics tempered glass scale here. If I had it to do over again, I think I would have invested in the OXO scale with the pull out display here.

Whatever scale you get, consider how you plan to measure everything. I have a toddler at home and not creating extra dishes or spending extra time measuring is critical for me.

If you want to measure directly onto your dinner plate, make sure you get one that has an angled display and/or the display can be pulled out (this is why I regret my choice a bit). If you want to be able to put your container of food directly on the scale, tare it, and then measure the difference, then you'll need a flat digital scale.
