Savu Space Saving Scale

Most kitchen scales ask you to choose between a platform big enough to be useful and a footprint small enough to store. This one refuses the trade-off: pull it open to weigh a wide platter of produce, then fold it shut to slide into a crowded drawer.

The details

The Escali Savu is a digital kitchen scale with an adjustable platform that expands and collapses. Pull the platform arms apart to widen the surface to 7.5 inches for large or awkward items, then close them together for a slim, packable shape you can take anywhere. The stainless steel platform and flat touch-sensitive controls give it a clean, single-surface look that wipes down in seconds.

It measures both dry and liquid ingredients — grams, ounces, pounds-and-ounces, fluid ounces, and milliliters — with a tare function to zero out your bowl. It handles up to 11 lb, runs on a single included CR2032 battery, and shuts off after five minutes of inactivity to keep that battery going.

Why we love it

• Platform expands for big items and collapses for genuinely compact storage
• Touch-sensitive controls form one smooth surface that's quick to wipe clean
• Measures both liquid and dry ingredients, so it covers most of what you cook
• Tare feature lets you add ingredients straight into the bowl
• Slim folded profile makes it easy to travel with or stash anywhere
• Auto shut-off after five minutes preserves the battery

Use it for

Weighing produce and portions, measuring coffee for a precise brew, portioning dough or proteins, measuring liquids by volume, or tossing it in a bag for a trip or a small kitchen.
