I have this one that I think I got at Bed Bath a few years ago and it's decent enough. Also protip use fakespot for amazon or just don't shop on amazon at all. There's a shitton of fraud and fake reviews on it and they do nothing about it. I try to give them as little money as possible.

I bought a small drug scale. The kind cokeheads use. Head shops sell them but so does Amazon. Works great for salts when doing canning or curing. Always worried a SWAT team is going to rope in, flashbang my kids, and shoot my dogs while I lay prone on the floor trying to explain that the scale really IS for making pastrami and pickles.

I recently realized that if something is cheap and rated 4.5+ stars its probably shit and overrated by poors and third worlders and/or is shilled by youtuber with caption ''this cheap scale is incredibly underrated'' or "10 ten best kitchen scales.
It's complicated ecosystem of cope, poorness, shilling and buyers remorse.

I think YouTubers are underrated in this regard. They always make this kind of videos since they pull a lot of views. People like to think they tricked the system by buying this supposedly A-tier, but cheap product. What follows is buyers remorse or general ignorance on what makes a good product.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who is autistic enough to care that my scale may be off by a few grams, and has had no luck finding a good one or even a single review that seems to be more sophisticated then "number goes up when i put food on it".

Speaking of digital thermometers, why are they so fucking slow and inaccurate?
I'd love to actually be able to monitor steak's temperature closely but the best I can do is guess by looking at the rate it increases.

the fast and accurate ones are more expensive.
thermoworks is the gold standard for thermometers. the Thermapen® ONE is like $100 and reads in 1 second, and is as accurate as anything.
They also have a $35 ThermoPop® which reads in 3-4 seconds which is probably about as accurate.
