LOL. I'm not sure why they have spaghetti going through it. I was thinking a trivet that you set a hot pot on. This is one that I use every Saturday when I cook at the Mandeville Trailhead and sit a hot 3 gal cast iron pot on the plastic tables they have. Several of the tables have melted rings in them from when I forgot to bring the trivet. and I damn sure need to get a life.
It's a trivet that you can set a pot on.....but it also measures spaghetti for 1, 2, 3 or 4 servings (the holes are different sizes).
Can't really tell .. but it looks like the yellow chord raps around the center black thingy. I'm going for some sort of fancy "yankee" tape measure of some sort.
