Ha! I use it mostly for soap/lotion. You have to be very precise with lye and preservative, but I love having it for cooking as well. The trick is finding a container light enough to tare.
Have you tried those cheap plastic food containers like Rubbermaid TakeAlongs (tm)? I like them because they are very light yet capacious and you get a couple in a package. That way if the scale decides to turn off in the middle of weighing, you have another container of the same weight that you can use to tare the scale again.
