  • Publication number: 20160054163
    Abstract: A tool for metering sauce or other materials comprises a handle and a bowl positioned at a distal end of the handle for holding an amount of the sauce or other material. The bowl defines an open top bounded by a rim, and the bowl includes multiple posts extending from a bottom wall, such that a first predetermined volume is defined by filling the bowl to the rim, and a second predetermined volume is defined by filling the bowl such that upper surfaces of the multiple posts are visible. The bowl may further include two ribs extending from a side wall of the bowl, wherein a third predetermined volume is defined by orienting the tool on its side such that the two ribs effectively define a horizontal plane and filling the bowl up to the horizontal plane between the two ribs.
