Just for fun: The answer!

It's Friday again, and it's time for the answer to this week's strange looking device...

It's a SPAGHETTI TESTER. Yes, you read right. Why anyone would need one of these is beyond me. But let's have them try and sell it to us anyways:

"Anyone can cook spaghetti. Nonetheless it demands a certain skill. Particularly if you wish your spaghetti to be neither chewy nor starchy, but rather to enjoy it the only possible way: al dente. The fine line between hard and soft, firm to the bite and a perfect vehicle for the sauce. Handy if you have a Neapolitan mamma for such eventualities. Or the spaghetti tester AL DENTE from Pott. A beautiful object which is more reliable than any recommended cooking time on the packet. For spaghetti with bite: AL DENTE from Pott."


I need to get me a neapolitan mamma! ;)
