Etekcity Food Kitchen Scale EK6015 (11 lb, stainless steel)
An accurate, slim budget scale for everyday cooking, with a smudge prone top.
We bought Mik-Nana Food Scale, Digital Kitchen Scale, 6 Units with Tare Function, LCD Display, Easy Clean Stainless Steel. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is the same kind of slim stainless steel digital scale with tare and multiple units, from a known brand that editorial testers have reviewed.
The short version
- Home bakers and cooks who weigh ingredients in grams or ounces
- Anyone portioning food for meal prep or calorie tracking
- People who want to weigh liquids by volume
- You need 0.1 gram precision for coffee, yeast or spices
- You often weigh in a wet spot by the sink
- Fingerprints on stainless steel bother you
What owners like
- Readings are accurate for anything heavier than a gram or so
- Slim and easy to store
- Lit numbers are easy to read
- Handles liquids, which many basic scales skip
Common complaints
- The stainless steel top shows fingerprints and smudges
- The battery compartment is sensitive to spills and moisture
- Not fine enough for sub gram amounts such as yeast or spices

What it does
A slim digital kitchen scale with a stainless steel platform, tare button and five units including millilitres; reviewed here in place of the unbranded Mik-Nana scale it closely resembles.
- Tare button subtracts the weight of a bowl or container
- Liquid units (fl oz and mL) for weighing water or milk instead of using a measuring cup
- Thin, flat body that stores upright or in a drawer
- Food contact surface is 304 stainless steel
- Backlight turns off on its own to save battery
A good fit for anyone who wants a cheap, flat scale for baking, portioning and meal prep, with the option to weigh water and milk by volume. The trade-offs are a steel top that shows fingerprints and a battery area that does not like getting wet.
