I have dyspraxia can you guide me buying a liquid measurer? - Reddthat

I really, really struggle reading scales on a measuring jug or in a measuring spoon. I just can’t gauge if it’s on the level or under/over it because my spatial awareness and depth perception is awful. As a result I screw things up. Any ideas? Are there better ones I could buy?

Measuring cups and jugs are absolute bs. Theres no consistency within them, not just across brands but within the same brand and model too.

I recommend going by weight. Get a kitchen scale. Life saver. Much more convenient too!

So I look for a scale that measures liquid by weight? How much should I spend to get a good one?

You should expect to spend 10-20$/€ on a decent scale. Costlier scales often offer specific features, but in general use they’re comparable.

A scale accurate to a gram can be a bit loose for ingredients like agar, cream of tartar, gelatin, etc. That said, my nearly decade old home scale is only accurate to the gram and I don’t plan to replace it. Scales accurate to a tenth of a gram are pretty common at reasonable prices at this point.
