"I was told there would be no math" is something I often think or murmur, especially when baking. Pesky measurements aren't my strong suit -- but a smart bowl and scale is like sneaking a calculator into a math quiz. And right now, you can snag a top-rated Etekcity food scale with bowl, timer and temperature sensor for $10 on Woot.

If you're a regular in the kitchen who likes to bake, this is a no-brainer. This gadget is perfect for those on strict eating plans as you can keep careful track of your food intake. And because it has a tare function, you can use your own bowl on top of the scale if you need something bigger than the one provided.

While I haven't used this model yet, I dug into the reviews and it has a formidable 4.8 out of 5 stars in 15,800 reviews. Folks love the sleek stainless steel build and laud this scale for its accuracy in weighing dry and wet ingredients for cooking and baking. The temperature sensor seems a bit less precise but, in all honestly, that's not something I'd find myself using nearly as often.

The same scale is selling for double the price on Amazon proper. Because Woot is an Amazon-owned brand, you'll get free shipping if you're an Amazon Prime member.
