You see that hole? That's enough for 1 serving.
Looks over at my teens
Yeah, sure. For me maybe.
If I cook a box I'll still have about a couple cups left over. If I cook half a box they'll all be bitching that they're still hungry in 15 minutes, and they'll consume another entire box.
I cook it restaurant style I don't even stop the water from boiling.
Honestly, it's one of the reasons I don't cook that much spaghetti the chunkier pasta shaped work better as leftovers.
I have 4 teenagers. I cook 2 boxes every time. There are no leftovers.
Same until I realized spaghetti works great for pasta salad.
Then you figure out how many servings you need to make for everyone. The hole is an approximation and you need to figure out how many servings are needed for your family's satiation needs.
Telling you it varies. If I make one serving per, they'll end up eating three per. If I make three per, they'll end up eating one.
back scratcher?
Desperation breeds innovation I guess.
It's a holy back scratcher ;)
Srsly? You have changed my life!!!
Holy shit
Holey*
Clap
YO WHAT? How have I never known this til now?
I still just go for 100g/person. Altough the hole trick is nice if your out and about and done have a scale
If you are out and have your travel spaghetti scooper with you
It's also an emergency hairbrush. Slam it in a drawer with the head sticking out and boom, overnight jewelry holder. Or hold it up in front of your face and you can watch people without them knowing. It's the all-accessory!
Who doesn't make travel spaghetti with their portable pot of boiling water?
They do make portable mini stoves tho
Instructions unclear, my spaghetto is stuck in the spoon hole...
