  Fortunately we can buy metric scales here too. You have to ask for them in the back of the shop and pay cash only, but they exist.

    That is an American measure. Imprecise as fuck.

    The metric conversion is:

    For an ISO standard size adult hand (adjust +/-13% to take into account hand size deviation from ISO standard):

    For spaghetti sizes 5-6, make the ok sign with your hand, placing the fingernail of your index finger against the base of your thumb for une person, against the middle joint for 2 people, and to the tip for 3 people.

    The pressure exerted by the index finger to the thumb joints should be 9.81 kPa +/- 15%.

  100g is near enough 4oz. So, just remember 4oz per person and you’re good.

  I don’t usually measure the water, but 1l of water is just under 2pints. And 10g of salt is more than I’d use, but I guess that’s about just under 1/2 Oz.
