I have a similar 500 gram model.  The key is to get one that will read in 1/100th of a gram and also buy the calibration weight for your specific unit.  Works perfect for small or large batches of spices!!!!

But for that price, there is not reason not to own a good "spice" scale.

Thanks for the link Dave, will make a great stocking stuffer (mine) for Xmas.

I planned on getting one for jerky. I've never used a cure in jerky, just marinated and dehydrated with never any problems.

After becoming a member on this site, I feel like I'm pressing my luck with not using a cure. I've only ever used cure for homemade keibasa.

Good looking scale for weighing the cure Dave - and a great price 

. As it will only weigh up to 100g I assume that you use this in conjunction with a separate scale for your larger quantities.

I use one that combines scales for both larger weights and precision - but at ~£70 I think your way would work out more cost effective for someone starting out

I use the following Taylor brand scale for weighing both large chunks of meat / fish  as well as spices.  Reads in pounds, ounces or grams by a push of a button.  Capacity:  11lb  - 5000 g.  $32 which is way more than the above but very versatile.

Thanks, Dave, got one, same make, that goes to 1000g for $4.50 + $5.00 shipping, Amazon.  Works great. 

Also ordered the 500g. calibration weight.

I have two of those. I originally bought them to weigh gold & silver coins. I figured I could see the difference, but at 100th of a gram I'm not too worried. My kitchen scale is good to 1/10th of a gram and I'm happy with that tollerance.

On my wish list! Thanks!

Not a repair really.... it probably sat in China for a month... then on the waterfront for a week or so, then in a container ship for a couple weeks.... Then the waterfront on Los Angeles.... on a truck to some warehouse.... and you finally got it.... Stuff does happen.... I was just thinking there could have been some corrosion.... Just a S.W.A.G..... Sorry if it was inconvenient..

As far as i know it's not returnable. When i got mine there were some reviewers on amazon complaining of DOA units. Not a happy experience...but it's less than $10. Order another one and tell your cc company you got a non-working unit. Let them deal with amazon.

I messed up.. I'm not a Prime member. I only order from Amazon 2-3 times a yr. $99 a yr for prime isn't worth it.
So I found one for the same price w free shipping.. SCORE... not.. while it looked the same, it was only 1/10 gram, not a 1/100. Oh well..... it's better than guessing.
