Are You Terrible at Measuring Dried Spaghetti, But Don't Want Another Single-Use Gadget?

Spaghetti-Measuring TrivetSlowly but surely, home cooks are coming 'round to the idea that many one-hit wonders of the gadget world just aren't worth the purchase. Heck, there are even some two-purpose gadgets that we could really do without. One such gadget would be a dried spaghetti measuring device. You know, something to tell you just how many noodles are needed for the amount of mouths you have to feed.

But what if it is not only pretty, but also offers another truly handy alternative that makes it a benefit to your kitchen?

The Noooodle, seen above, might be overrun with O's, but it's also a funky trivet that doubles as a spaghetti measuring device. What I particularly like about this is that it also looks quite nice -- the perfect trivet to use when you have company, and heck, it would even look nice hanging on the wall.

Thanks,

You really don't need a metal doodad to grab a handful of spaghetti.
