Comment on It’s always too little or too much. There is no in between
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 day agoCoins are really good placeholders for diameter, especially when you’re measuring with your hands. Grab a nickel’s width just for me if I’m not that hungry. As you dial in the right amount, measure with your fingers and see how large of a circle you have to make.
I’d rather use a scale, but I don’t have one that works well with long pastas

That’s a good method, Of course a fixed portion size measurement could be used similarly, like the hole in the pasta spoon.
Just a personal gripe with the portion sizes.
Personally i just eyeball it and eat more or less afterwards based on refined numbers as cooking changes weight and calorie density. Over the years I’ve managed to get the eyeball measurements good enough. And synchronized cooked weight numbers to bodyweight changes.

okay we get an appropriately sized auger and adjust the spoon. I like that method too.
