Escali Measures Up!

Scales, Thermometers, Timers

Most baking requires precision and accuracy; consistent measurements are often essential to the success of the finished dish. Over the years, we have found that all measuring utensils are not created equal, and methods of how we measure ingredients vary. Even the weight of different brands of flour can affect the outcome of a cake. If the gravy is too thick or too thin, the home cook can usually remedy the problem by adding a little extra "this" or "that". With baking, that luxury is often not an option.
Using a scale and a thermometer are the only truly accurate kitchen measurement methods. Enter Escali, a company in the forefront of measurement innovation in quality, accuracy, value and style. Escali offers a full line of measurement tools and technology, including kitchen scales, body scales, kitchen thermometers and timers.

The company is located in Burnsville, MN, and founded in 1999 by Theo Prins, who is still the President and CEO. Prior to starting the company, Mr. Prins spent 20 years, mostly in Europe, in the digital scale industry. He felt that improvement was needed in the manufacturing and design of digital scales and he based the Escali designs on that premise. Initially, the product line was for professional and restaurant chefs, but it has expanded to providing measuring tools for the home cook.

Several years ago, KosherEye featured Escali, and its Primo Digital kitchen scale. The Primo remains a bestseller, highly rated twice as a best value by a leading independent consumer magazine. Its two-button design makes it is easy to use; it also has the Tare feature and displays weight in grams, pounds or ounces. Its simplicity of use and style make it a winner in the kitchen. (Approximately $23)
Escali has some new innovations, and we feel that each type of measurement tool listed here is essential for the kitchen! Do note that they are value priced, and quite affordable for most cooks.
