Drop Kitchen Scale and Baking Assistant
The Irish creator of this smart scale, dubbed Drop, got the idea from seeing his scientist sister bake with aplomb but run into difficulty when preparing portions for large groups. The resulting app and accompanying scale start with a recipe and serving size and then walk through the instructions as you add each component. Available for pre-order, $80.
If you have a family recipe or cookbook, however, the Drop scale is, as of now, not much use. It can operate as a standard kitchen scale, but to work correctly, it is entirely dependent on the recipes in the proprietary app. However, the company is toying with a system that would let bakers share recipes.
