[NFB-InTheKitchen] Accessible Food Scale

Mon May 9 01:22:43 UTC 2022

Dan,
I purchased a talking food scale from the Braille Super Store.  It is
very easy to use and it has the feature where you can weigh the
container, then zero it out before you add the food item.  I think it
was about $40. Please don't hold me to that part.
Smile!
Hope that helps!
