Drop Scaleby Drop Kitchen
PROS
- The Drop Scale precisely weighs ingredients to provide a more reliable form of measurement than volume.
- The app's lavishly illustrated step-by-step recipe instructions help novice chefs create impressive dishes.
- The Drop app can scale recipe ingredients based on the weight of a single ingredient on hand, and it can recommend substitute ingredients.
CONS
- There's no display on the scale, so you must use it with your Bluetooth 4.0-connected iPhone or iPad.
- The Drop app only works with iOS 8 or later. There's no support for Android or other mobile devices.
- You can't input your own recipes into the Drop app, which limits you to the ones in Drop's cookbook.

At $100, the scale is pricey, but I think a reasonable value for what you get: a virtual cooking instructor, not only giving step-by-step guidance but also ensuring that you get the quantities right.
