I like to bake, but I hate to measure. Unfortunately, baking is a pretty exact science, which makes it necessary to break out the measuring cups and spoons every time you're in the mood for a batch of cookies. Fortunately, there is a solution in the form of the Drop Kitchen Scale. Drop is a Bluetooth scale that connects to your iPad to tell you how much of an ingredient to add and when, so you can forego the standard measurement process. It makes it easy for all bakers, regardless of experience level, to whip up a ton of tasty confections. But at $99.95 it's rather pricey, and the lack of Android support as well as a dedicated scale display will irk some. Still, some fabulous recipes, a gorgeously designed app, and promising future features make this a digital home accessory worth checking out.

Compatibility, Design, and Pairing

Unlike the more widely inclusive Perfect Bake from Pure Imagination, Drop offers limited compatibility at the moment. It only works with Bluetooth 4.0 tablets running iOS 8 and above. That means you're limited to the third-generation iPad and up, as well as any iPad Air or iPad mini. iPhone support is expected in the future, as is Android compatibility, but for now you'll need a relatively new iPad in order to use the scale. I tested it with an iPad Air running iOS 8.1.1.
