Myra Touch Professional Digital Kitchen Scale 85 Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


**I received the product featured free of charge in order to give an honest review.  No other compensation was received.  My thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and others may have a different opinion.**


A little about the Mira Digital Kitchen Scale:

MIRA Touch Professional Digital Kitchen Scale - Beautiful tempered glass - 4 times stronger than normal glass. Extra large LCD size. Check out all the other color options for the perfect complement to your kitchen.
Digital Kitchen scale with advanced touch sensitive buttons for easy operation. Measures in grams, ounces, pounds. Zeroes out the container.
No more squinting to see the food scale display - Large easy-to-read back lit LCD display that displays weights in pounds, kilograms, grams, and ounces (lb./oz, kg/g, fl.oz., ml).
TARE function ignores plates and dishes; weighing only the food inside.. Slim profile kitchen scale - fits nicely in small spaces - the perfect size for a kitchen scale. Glass platform is easy to clean.
Accurate weight measurements from .1 oz. to 11 lbs. (1 gram to 5 kgs). 2 year warranty. Uses 4 x AAA batteries (included).



 This scale was shipped in the mail and sometimes when shipping a product that has digital components or glass you worry a little about it getting broken in the shipping process.  Well if you think about it all the stores have their products shipped to them as well, so how is that any different than me having a product shipped to my home??  I really appreciate when you have nice packaging like this that secures the product in the box to help prevent it from getting damaged or broken in the shipping process.  The packaging of this product was great and it arrived to me in perfect condition.


I absolutely love to cook and bake!!  Sometimes recipes ask for measurements in ounces or kilograms instead of cups.  When you run into a recipe like this you really need a reliable kitchen scale to help you get the job done and get your recipe right.  This zeroing out feature on this scale worked perfectly without any fuss.


My review:

I LOVE this kitchen scale.  I had a different model a long time ago that had just a finger touch on/off switch rather than a button.  Due to this it would get accidentally bumped on killing the battery.  This scale has an actual button you must push to turn it on and hold it to turn it off.  I love this feature just for the fact of functionality and having my batteries last longer.  Most kitchen scales now days have the feature of zeroing out the dish you put on for measuring before you put your ingredient in.  I love this feature, and on this particular scale I felt like it was more accurate than the old model I used to use.  Other models you have to have the scale perfectly level for it to zero out correctly.  This model is great and does the job so easy without me having to fuss with it and make sure it is sitting right.  Myra Touch Professional Digital Kitchen scale is the best kitchen scale I have tried so far.  It is very easy to use and very accurate.  My recipes have turned out every time using this scale.

If you are looking for a new digital kitchen scale I highly recommend you get a Myra Touch Professional Digital Kitchen Scale.  You can buy one HERE!!

San-J Soup Mix Review

**The product featured was provided to me free of charge in order to give an honest review.  No other compensation was received.  My thoughts are 100% my own and others may have a different opinion.**


 THE ART OF JAPANESE COOKING IN AN INSTANT. Eight generations after San-J’s founding fathers began making miso, instant Japanese soups are now available in America and are as easy as boiling water. San-J soups are packed full of flavor, all-natural, low in fat and calories and provide the perfect first course or a satisfying lunch-on-the-go.

GLUTEN-FREE INSTANT SOUPS Authentic, restaurant quality Japanese soup is available in single serving packets. These delicious instant soups are now certified gluten free and have an exciting new design with the GF logo prominently placed on the package. Quick and convenient, they fit easily in your briefcase, purse or backpack.

MISO SOUP CUPS San-J Miso Soups offer traditional quality with modern convenience. With authentic Japanes miso paste and vegetables, these soups have a creamy, robust flavor that is hard to beat. 


The soup mix featured above is the White Miso Soup with tofu & Scallions.

White Miso Soup- With over 1,000 years of tradition, miso has become a highly evolved Japanese staple, eaten with any meal throughout the day or evening.  San-J's all natural, gluten-free White Miso soup balances white and red miso with savory tofu and scallions.  Rich in tradition and taste, it's low in fat and calories.



Below is the Wakame Soup with Seaweed & Shiitake Mushrooms. 


Wakame Soup- Combining delicate tastes form thte sea and earth, our gluten-free and vegan wakame soup blends succulent ocean seaweed with savory shiitake mushrooms, sesame seeds, and black pepper.  In Japan, wakame is celebrated for its excellend nutritional value and healthy effects.


Each envelope contains everything you need to add to 8 oz. of boiling water.  Just stir well and enjoy refined, authentic taste worthy of the finest Japanese restaurant.  Both White Miso and Wakame soups are now made from new, reformulated recipes with no wheat content.  And now, both are certified gluten-free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization. (www.gfco.org)

The Tradition Contines
In 1804, San Jirushi, the founding company of San-J international, was established as a Tamari soy sauce and miso company.  For more than 200 years, their brewing master has been passed down through the generations.  In 1987, the first Tamari brewery outside of Japan was built in Henrico, Virginia- and San-J International was born.  Today, San-J continues the tradition of quality with a variety of premium soy sauces, Asian cooking sauces, salad dressings, soups and rice crackers, available throughout the United States and Canada.

I recently had an opportunity to try these two great soup flavors from San-J.  San-J makes really great products.  I really loved how easy this soup was to prepare.  It only took me about 5 minutes to prepare this soup.  This soup would make a great lunch to take to work or almost anywhere.  It fits very easily into your purse or a lunch sack to take on the go.  My favorite of the two soups was definitely the White Miso soup.  Both of these soups have a very different flavor.  Depending on your taste buds, that would determine which of the soups you would like better yourself.  The flavor of the Miso soup was a little more subtle to me than that of the Wakame variety.  These soups also were packed with flavor.  I am a person that loves flavorful food!!  I don't really like my food to be bland.  These soups were nothing close to bland.  I highly recommend you try San-J's White Miso soup.


If you are looking for another Gluten-Free product to try I recommend you try San-J soups!  You can find them here.
