OOKAS digital food scale with tray review

At around ₱199 as of August 19, 2026, with 10,773 Shopee ratings and 10K+ sold. Nothing else in this category has been bought anything like as often.

What the tray actually adds

A flat-platform scale is fine for a bowl and awkward for anything loose. Chopped garlic rolls off the edge. Flour goes everywhere. Rice finds the gap between the platform and the housing.

A raised tray holds all of that, and lifts off so you can wash it rather than wiping around a sealed platform. For everyday cooking rather than precision baking, it is the more practical shape, and it is the difference between this and the brand’s flat LCD scale at the same price.

The trade is storage: a tray scale takes more drawer space and does not stack.

The number it will not give you

Graduation is the smallest step the display moves in, and it decides what a scale can do. A 1g scale reads 4g then 5g and nothing between; a 0.1g scale reads 4.3g.

Flour and sugar are fine in whole grams. Yeast, baking soda, salt and coffee are not, and a coarse scale may not register a few grams at all, because every digital scale has a minimum below which it reads zero.

This listing does not publish a graduation, and neither do twelve of the other sixteen kitchen scales we list. If you know you want to weigh small amounts, ask the shop, or look at the Deli Vusign 10kg scale, which publishes 0.1g steps.

Tare is what makes it worth owning

Bowl on, press tare, display returns to zero. Add flour. Tare again. Add sugar on top of it.

That is the whole workflow, and it is why one scale replaces a drawer of cups. It is also more accurate than cups by a wide margin: a cup of flour ranges roughly 120g to 150g depending on whether you scooped from the bag or spooned it in, which is a 25% swing in the main ingredient of a cake.

What 10,773 ratings are worth here

In a category where most listings publish no capacity and no graduation, the crowd is the substitute for a specification.

Ten thousand buyers at 4.8 tells you the thing switches on, holds zero, and lasts long enough that people did not come back angry. That is not a specification and it is the strongest signal available at this price.

Who should buy the OOKAS tray scale

Buy this if you want a first kitchen scale, you cook more than you bake, and you want the cheapest one with a real record behind it.

Skip it if you need to weigh yeast, espresso or anything under about five grams.

When you need something finer
