Eggcurate Digital Kitchen Scale Ergonomic Evaluation

The Eggcurate Kitchen Scale is a good ergonomic tool. It is a fully functional digital scale that reads in ounces and grams and has a built in timer. It also has a small form factor so it will fit in the tightest of kitchens. Add to that a weight and temperature calculation that tells you how long to cook an egg for soft, medium and hard boil and you have a versatile kitchen helper.

Why is it Different?

The Eggcurate Kitchen Scale is a typical digital kitchen scale with a few added bonuses. It has a built in timer. It also calculates the time needed to boil an egg based on the egg's weight, the egg's starting temperature, and desired doneness. The timer then takes over and counts down till it is done with a nice alarm to alert you to the finish.

Does it Deliver?

The Eggcurate Digital Kitchen Scale is a good digital kitchen scale, and it delivers on the promised extras. The timer and alarm works well. The egg cooking calculation works well also. Even if the chosen starting temperature doesn't match yours, the results are consistent enough for you to compensate.

Beneficiaries

Anyone who likes a boiled egg or weighs in the kitchen. If you hate overcooking your soft boiled egg you will appreciate the benefits of this fully functional digital kitchen scale. If you are an accurate baker or chef that weighs ingredients or a dieter that weighs food portions this scale will fulfill your needs. Some groups that are affected are:

• Chefs
• Bakers
• Kitchen Cooks
• Dieters
• Egg Aficionados

Summary

The Eggcurate Kitchen Scale is a great, little kitchen scale. In this case "little" is a good thing. The small form factor takes up very little real estate on the counter. Yet it is big enough to weigh your largest bowls.

The Eggcurat Kitchen Scale fulfills all your digital scale needs. It is accurate, weighs in ounces or grams, and zeros out at your discretion.

The timer is accurate and easy to read. And the alarm is easy to hear.

The egg calculation is good and consistent. It takes the weight of the egg and the starting temperature (fridge or room temperature) to calculate the length of time to boil the egg for soft, medium and hard boiled. Even when the starting temperature doesn't match yours (if you keep a really cold fridge) the results are consistent enough to make a minor adjustment.

This scale will give the average home chef everything they need in a kitchen scale plus a couple of extras. All that in a package small enough to leave on even the minutest of counters.
