Batino 4-hole Stainless Steel Spaghetti Measure Tool for Spaghetti Pasta Gadget Boodle Spaghetti Ruler Measurer Tool Device

My brother in law works in food service supply, and he often gets us bulk pasta. I mean like big bags. Bigger than an infant. We always had a hard time gauging what the right serving size was, and usually ended up with waaayy too much. I got this, and it seems to be pretty accurate. Portions seem a little big still, but that could also be me shoving too many spaghettis into the hole. Overall, a useful tool to have in the kitchen!

This spaghetti measurement tool is nice and sturdy and easy to keep clean. However, it seems it only provides an estimate of the amount of spaghetti you are using. There are numerical markings of 1 thru 4 and it says "mass" on the tool, so I'm assuming each hole is 1-4 kilograms, but I'm not positive of this. So, if I want 1/2 pound of spaghetti, I'm out of luck. Now, the box I get my spaghetti from is a 1 pound box. If I approximate 1/2 of this box it is more than the "4" hole in the tool. Also, what about a 1/4 pound? I guess it would be more useful to those of us using imperial (western) measurements if the holes corresponded to our system better.

Husband was always cooking way too much spaghetti. This helps him know exact amount to cook. Spaghetti can be very deceiving on how much it will make

No markings to indicate servings. I could just grab handful of pasta and probably guess close enough.
