I have 2 kitchen scales. One was free with a weight loss program I joined. It is OK. the other one I bought from Walmart.
I like the Walmart one because it will change measure systems on the fly - I can get gram, kilogram, ounce and pound weight of an object - I can scroll through all of them for a single item. It has a nice sized, flat surface to put the bowl on to measure - last night I stacked 8 potatoes on it to get a pound of potatoes for a recipe. the drawback is that the flat surface is securely attached and it is a pain to try to clean under.
The free one works pretty good but it comes with a bowl to use for measuring, and I don't have another bowl that fits right. So I need to wash the bowl between measuring. Whe I am doing a recipe with more than one weighed ingredient it can be a pain.

I made the Dublin Coddle for supper the other night. It was very good, DH says to add it to the recipe box. I substituted an Oatmeal Stout for the Guiness as the Guiness would be too much for me. I think I would be happy with just a beef broth, but the beer was good and DH really enjoyed it.
Thank you for the recipe

you can lie in the bowl with saran wrap or something. I’d say parchment paper, but that’s dangerous with something light like flour.

The scale I have has a tare button on it. Put a plate, bowl or paper towel on it, push tare and the scale zeros out.

Sounds good! Wheat stout would be good for sure

Both of my scales have a tare feature on them. The problem with the freebie scale is the weighing plate is small and made to fit into the base of the bowl. Any other bowls I put on it are not very stable.

This is the one I have.https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0113UZJE2?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title It has the tare function, multiple unit options, and an automatic shut off.

wyo Dreamer, Thanks for your input. I have put off buying one
for years...why? Who knows. Since I retired I am doing more
in the kitchen and now into Sourdough Bread Baking. Many of the recipes are in grams etc. I think it will be a Christmas Present to ME. And we shop at Walmart and I will shop for it
next week. Staying away from all shopping this week. Thanks again, Regards, Aria

(Sorry for the enormous picture)

I have a big, fancy one that we used to use at our tea & spice shop but the one pictured above is much easier to move around and stow.
