Why do we still cook too much rice and too much spaghetti? It’s enough – you know it’s enough, but it just doesn’t look very much in the pan, so you add a little bit more and some more for luck…

“Just So” is a simple, non-calibrated, measure for a single portion of rice in the bowl and a single generous portion of spaghetti through the hole. As you get to know your measure – add a little more or a little less depending on the dish you are preparing.

If you don’t like waste, you’re on a ‘carb control’ diet, or you’re watching your portion sizes for health reasons – “Just So” will keep you on the right track.
