Adjustable Spaghetti Measurer, Pack of 2
$11.99
Most of us cook too much spaghetti, because a dry bundle is hard to judge by eye. Set this to the number of people eating, fill the opening, and the guessing stops.

- Scale marked 1 to 4

- 3.1 × 3.5 in (8 × 9 cm), about 0.8 oz (22 g)
How to use it
From jar to pan in one bundle
- 01
Set the number
Turn the green lever until it points at how many people you are cooking for.
- 02
Fill the opening
Push dry spaghetti through the hole until it is packed snugly from edge to edge.
- 03
Drop it in the pan
Lift the bundle out and into the boiling water. Open the lever to release the last strands.
Close up
A shutter for pasta
Iris opening
Curved green leaves overlap like a camera aperture. They close in from all sides, so the hole stays roughly round at every setting.
Portion scale
Numbers 1 to 4 are moulded into the white ring. Line the lever up with one and the opening is set.
Lever
Moves the leaves. Push it round to open wider for more people, back for fewer.

Compared
Measurer, scales or a fistful?
Kitchen scales are the most exact, but they mean getting them out for one job. A hand is free and always there, but no two hands match.
| Compared | This productThis measurer | Kitchen scales | By eye |

| Works with long pasta | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Works with penne or fusilli | No | Yes | Yes |
| Lives in the pasta drawer | Yes | No | Yes |
Questions
It comes as a pair, which is what makes the price fair. Keep one by the pasta jar and the other in a second kitchen, or give it away. Both are identical.
It measures long, straight pasta: spaghetti, linguine, bucatini. Short shapes like penne need a scale or a cup instead.
Many UK packs suggest somewhere between 75 and 3.5 oz (100 g) of dry spaghetti per adult. The 1 setting gives a single bundle; weigh it once if you want to know what that means in grams for your brand.
It works for any long, dry, straight strands: linguine, bucatini, soba or rice sticks. Nests of egg noodles do not fit through the opening.
About 8 by 3.5 in (9 cm) and 0.4 in (1 cm) thick including the lever, so both measurers slide into a cutlery drawer or stand in the pasta jar.

Cook for one after the gym and set it to 1. Not too much, not too little, and I know what I'm eating.

Sample, not realOkay for the odd meal
Works, but I only cook long pasta a couple of times a month so the pair is too many for me. Perfectly good, just not the right fit for my habits.

One lives at home and one goes in the bag when we rent a cottage. Never have to guess a strange kitchen's pasta.

Sample, not realSaved us wasting food
Batch cooking spaghetti on a Sunday for the week's lunches used to be guesswork. Now I set it to 4, push it through, and each bundle is the same. Portions in the tubs are even and I am not throwing any away.

Set it to 2 for date night carbonara and the amount was spot on. No leftover spaghetti stuck to the pan.

Good gadget, useful. Wish the colour was something other than green but the lever works.
