The Batino 4-Hole Stainless Steel Spaghetti Measure Tool is quite handy for portioning spaghetti without having to guess. According to the manufacturer's product description, it comes with four different-sized holes, each meant for 1 to 4 servings, which is kind of neat if you're cooking for a group.
However, accuracy varies. From our research, some folks feel that the portions can be bigger than expected. This might be because it doesn't have a weight-based measurement, like ounces or grams, which many people find more familiar. Usually, a pasta serving is around 2 ounces dry, and this tool doesn't exactly match that, so it might feel a bit off, especially if you're keeping a close eye on portion sizes.
Also, even though it's made from stainless steel, there are mentions of the edges being a bit sharp. It might take some getting used to, or you could try smoothing the edges down a bit if you're worried about it.
While it's straightforward and user-friendly, if you're looking for precise measurements—maybe for dietary reasons—a kitchen scale might still be your go-to.
But for quick and casual cooking, this tool is pretty useful; just keep in mind that it has its limits in terms of exact measurements.
