How to Use OXO’s Food Scale

Posted in Kitchen Weighing Scales on June 28th, 2010 by Andrew – Be the first to comment

OXOs user-friendly Food Scale with Pull-Out Display is perfect for weighing all ingredients. Weigh items directly on the platform, on a plate or in a bowl, and pull the display away from the base to prevent shadowing from large plates and bowls. Accurately measure ingredients when cooking and baking and stick to a diet by weighing portions. An optional backlight makes the display easier to read and a weight indicator shows the capacity left on the Scale before maximum capacity is reached. Press the zero button to offset the weight of a container or to set the weight back to zero so you can add additional ingredients. The display features large, easy-to-read numbers which measure in 1/8-oz (imperial) and 1-g (metric) increments. The stainless steel platform can be removed for cleaning but no parts are dishwasher safe. The Scale has an 11-lb capacity and 4 AAA batteries are included.

Weighing Parrots – Senegal Parrot and Budgie – Training Diet and Weight Management

Posted in Digital Kitchen Scale on June 21st, 2010 by Andrew – 1 Comment

In this video you can see Duke my budgie and Kili my Senegal Parrot getting weighed. “Bird scales” are really over priced so I made my own. I simply bought a digital kitchen scale that can measure weights up to 11lbs in oz or grams. I configured it to grams and I built my own perch to put on it. I tare the scale to 0 with the perch already on it and then there is a good place for the birds to stand while getting weighed. Weighing your bird is important to track health and training progress. A sudden drop in weight is often a sign of illness or other health problems. Also keeping track of my bird’s weight helps me gauge the motivation I can expect during training. One more use I have for this scale is weighing out food. I’ve gotten better at eyeballing how much food to give my birds but initially I used the scale to weigh out food for the birds and track their intake.
