# Pasta Portion Measurers Always Cook Just the Right Amount by Using the Cheese Spaghetti First By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2013-08-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-spaghetti References: [holycool.net](http://www.holycool.net/cheese-spaghetti-measure/) & [luckies](https://www.luckies.co.uk/gifts-for-men-under-5/spaghetti-cheese/) Cooking [spaghetti](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-spaghetti-carbonara) can sometimes mean making too much or too little when dinnertime hits, but using the Cheese Spaghetti to measure out the [dry stuff](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timewise) can help to ensure you always make the exact amount needed. Featuring a series of holes and a quirky cheese-like design, the Cheese Spaghetti has four different serving sizes that are individually marked with small divots to indicate how many people will be eating; one for one, two for two and so on. Once the number of guests is gauged, slipping the [pasta into the holes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/challenge-butter-cubes) in the Cheese Spaghetti will effectively measure out enough to comfortably feed that number of people. The Cheese Spaghetti solves a simple but bothersome problem and will no doubt help the amateur chef to learn proper measurements. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Portion Control Tools:** The trend of developing innovative tools that help individuals control portions of food to avoid wastage and promote healthier eating habits. - **Smart Kitchen Gadgets:** The trend of integrating technology into kitchen gadgets to simplify cooking processes and enhance precision in measurements. - **Food Waste Reduction:** The trend of creating solutions to reduce food waste by accurately estimating portion sizes and minimizing leftovers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchenware:** The kitchenware industry can leverage this trend by developing more innovative portion control tools that cater to different types of food. - **Appliances:** The appliances industry can capitalize on this trend by creating smart kitchen gadgets that automate the measuring process and provide accurate portion control. - **Sustainability:** The sustainability industry can explore this trend by developing solutions that promote portion control and reduce food waste, contributing to a more eco-friendly food system. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multi-Functional Pasta Spoons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-pasta-spoon.md) - [Instant Noodle-Inspired Measuring Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissin-measuring-cup.md) - [Single-Serve Foodservice Pastas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-cheddar-mac-cheese.md) - [Solo-Friendly Pasta Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ms-food-collection.md) - [Travel-Ready Pasta Seasonings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaghetti-dust.md) - [Imperfect Pasta Bowl Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pasta-bowl.md) - [Frozen Pasta Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-and-cheese-1.md) - [Multi-Functional Kitchen Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-kitchen-tools.md) - [Shapely Chickpea Pastas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chickpea-based-pasta.md)
