This tip is not exclusive to slow cooking…just general cooking. I got a digital scale for my birthday and it has been AWESOME in cooking. I especially love it for use of measuring meats. That way I don’t have to guess how much 1 1/2 pounds is. I have also loved it for pasta. It makes it so much easier when the recipe calls for 6 oz of pasta. I had no idea how much it was so I would just guess. Now I know that I am following the recipe exactly. I highly recommend getting one. I’ve also used it for making my own little 100 calorie snacks. I have a chocolate addiction and would eat 1/2 a bag of chocolate chips everyday if I could. I just wanted to see how much 100 calories of chocolate chips…here it is:
Kind of depressing, huh? Anyhow, I make up these little baggies of snacks and then I can only have one. That way I don’t go overboard. My digital scale can measure in different units too. Here is another 100 calorie snack…cocoa puffs
