ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A device for measuring the quantity of raw pasta required to pro- duce the desired amount of cooked pasta. In the domestic market most packaged spaghetti is ten inches in length and a simple measurer for calculating the required amount of this raw product selected for cooking is a non-stretchable, flexible measuring line that can be looped around a bundle of spaghetti to determine its circumference. The line is calibrated and can show the number of serving portions of cooked spaghetti that the encircled bundle will pro- duce. To facilitate its use in the family kitchen the line is provided with a ring on one end thereof that can be slipped over the thumb of the user and holding a bundle of spaghetti, of approximately correct size, in her hand the line is wrapped around the spaghetti to measure its circumference and deter- mine if more or less spaghetti is needed. To improve the accuracy of the measuring line it is desirable that the calibrations start at a point spaced from the ring and extend therefrom toward the free end of the line. The re- ference point at which the calibrations begin may be in the nature of an external projection with which the looped line encircling the bundle has sliding engagement and at which point the bundle's circumferential measure- ment is read. A tab on the free end of this line provides a convenient finger grip and its flattened faces may bear useful information, e.g. volume of cooked products that will result from the encircled bundle of raw pasta, cooking time, etc.
