The Escali Primo Digital Food Scale is a compact, two-button kitchen scale that delivers precise weights up to 11 lb (5,000 g) with an easy-to-clean sealed display.

Compact and reliable, the Escali Primo blends simple controls with accurate measurements for everyday cooking, baking and portion control. The sealed control panel protects the display from spills and splashes, while the rounded body wipes clean quickly. With measurements in grams, ounces and pounds:ounces and 1 g / 0.05 oz increments, it’s built for fast, repeatable results whether you’re measuring ingredients or managing serving sizes.

How accurate and responsive is the Escali Primo for baking and recipes?

The Primo gives you precise readings in 1 gram (0.05 oz) steps and supports three unit types, making it suitable for both metric and imperial recipes. Its stable platform reduces drift for repeatable measurements, and the tare function lets you weigh multiple ingredients in one bowl.

• Capacity up to 11 lb / 5,000 g with 1 g precision
• Displays in oz, lb:oz and g for recipe flexibility
• Tare reset for stacking ingredients in one container

How does the sealed control panel and design help in a busy kitchen?

The control buttons and display are sealed beneath a protective shield to prevent moisture and crumbs from entering the electronics. The rounded, low-profile housing wipes clean easily and is more durable during everyday use.

• Sealed control panel guards against accidental spills
• Rounded edges and smooth surface are easy to clean
• Automatic shut-off conserves battery life after inactivity

Can I use the Primo for portion control and food prep beyond baking?

Yes — its precision and tare feature make it well suited for portioning meals, measuring bulk ingredients, and tracking single-serve sizes. The display reads small increments clearly so you can control serving sizes and maintain consistent results.

• Precise small-increment readings for portion control
• Tare allows container subtraction for direct net weight
• Compact footprint fits small counters and kitchen drawers

What accessories and maintenance should I consider?

The Primo is ready to use out of the box, and an optional stainless steel platform cover (sold separately) is available if you prefer a dishwasher-safe surface. Replace batteries when low, keep the control panel sealed, and avoid immersing the main unit in water.

• Optional stainless steel platform cover for dishwasher cleaning
• Requires batteries; automatic shut-off helps extend battery life
• Wipe the sealed surface with a damp cloth; do not submerge

Who is this for? Home cooks, bakers, and anyone managing portions who want a straightforward, durable digital scale without complicated menus. The Escali Primo is especially useful in small kitchens or for cooks who prefer a simple two-button interface, reliable accuracy for recipes, and a low-maintenance sealed display. Backed by Escali’s reputation and a lifetime warranty, it suits shoppers looking for a long-lasting, no-fuss kitchen scale.
