OXO Good Grips 11-Pound Stainless Steel Food Scale
OXO Good Grips' 11-Pound Stainless Steel Food Scale earns its spot as a best-in-class household feeding and portioning tool thanks to a sturdy stainless-steel platform, user-friendly pull-out display, and reliable gram-level increments that simplify consistent meal portions. Compared with the more budget-focused Escali and Greater Goods models it offers greater durability and ergonomics, while trading off the ultra-fine micro-precision of the Etekcity and the commercial capacity of the My Weigh.

Escali Primo P115C Precision Kitchen Scale
The Escali Primo P115C is the market leader for affordable, no-frills precision in feeding and portioning tasks, offering dependable gram-level accuracy in a compact, easy-to-use package. It undercuts pricier stainless-steel or commercial models on cost while delivering more consistent everyday results than very low-cost alternatives, though it lacks the micro-scale sensitivity of the Etekcity and the heavy-duty capacity of My Weigh.

Greater Goods Nourish Digital Kitchen Scale
Greater Goods' Nourish Digital Kitchen Scale balances value and user-friendly features — a sizable platform, clear display and straightforward controls — making it a strong choice for routine portion control and feeding. It typically matches Escali on basic accuracy at a competitive price and offers a more contemporary aesthetic than some competitors, but it does not match the industrial durability of OXO or the ultra-precise resolution of the Etekcity.

Etekcity 0.001oz Digital Kitchen Scale
Etekcity's 0.001oz Digital Scale stands out as the technical specialist for micro-portioning and supplement-level dosing, delivering sub-gram resolution that the other scales in this list do not match. That extreme precision makes it ideal for exact feeding measurements and lab-like portioning tasks, though buyers trade off platform size and robustness — it has a smaller capacity and is less suited to heavy meal prep than My Weigh or OXO while offering superior granularity.
