Carbs scoop

I made this a few years ago and still use it regularly! The "spoon" side fills up with 1 portion of rice and the hole in the handle can fit 1 portion of spaghetti. What do you think?

Edit: sorry about the double post.. I thought I had backed out and lost the first one so I posted this one, and I just noticed the first one went up

I sense i'm missing the joke, but in case it'q a genuine question: it doesn't, it's for weighing about 60grams of rice :) And thank you!

i was joking about how it's not useful for me, because i lack your discipline and eat gigantic portions of fast food.

it looks nice tho and reminds me of kitchen utensils my mom used

I love this. We just use an old jam jar as our rice scoop (gives us about 4 dinner portions), but this is so much nicer looking! And I love that it can measure spaghetti too. That one is hard to get the right portion of.

How did you make it?

MacAnus@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y

Machined it in two parts using my former workplace's CNC (I only gave it this shape because I had access to it).

The dark line you see is where the parts are glued together, and I added a black laminate interlayer thinking it'd give it some style.

Then did what felt like a year of sanding for such a small object, and some oil to finish it.

I messed up the grain orientation though and the smaller hole in the back has been broken and glued back on already
