Good Grips Stainless Steel Food Scale with Pull Out Display, 22-Pound from OXO

I've been using this scale for the past several months and really enjoying it. You know when you're weighing a few pounds of flour for a big batch of bread, and suddenly your scale runs out of weight? That doesn't happen here. It takes up to 22 pounds, and if you're using a really big bowl, you can pull the scale display away out of its shadow. And while it's a big scale, it's flat and light. I just slip it in a drawer when it's not in use.

I have one and I love it for the very same reason you do, Faith!!
This is a fabulous scale - I've had mine for years. Pull out function very handy, not to mention the light (for those occasions when you need it).
I researched kitchen scales for a year before I put this one on my Christmas list. My son gifted this to me and I love it!! I especially love the ease of storage in my small kitchen.
