The Scaleworks Digital Kitchen Scale SW-SR220 by Gram Precision Scales will definitely liven up your baking routine. This unit features a built-in AM/FM radio, complete with volume and tuning dial controls.

The scale is rectangular in shape, with a 7x7-1/2-inch tempered glass weighing platform. You can use the platform on its own (for solid ingredients such as butter, chocolate, or cheese) or simply add a container, press the Tare button to reset the scale to zero, and proceed to weigh ingredients.

The Tare function is especially useful when weighing several ingredients in succession. Another handy feature is the timer function, which can be set for up to 99:59 minutes and counts down minutes and seconds for you. Simple pushbuttons (+) and (-) let you set the timer for the exact amount of time desired. A musical alarm sounds when the timer runs out. This unit requires three AA batteries, which are included.

The Scaleworks SW-SR220 displays the weight in either grams or pounds and ounces (including fractions to 1/8 ounce) up to a maximum capacity of 11 pounds.
