For an ISO standard size adult hand (adjust +/-13% to take into account hand size deviation from ISO standard):
For spaghetti sizes 5-6, make the ok sign with your hand, placing the fingernail of your index finger against the base of your thumb for one person, against the middle joint for 2 people, and to the tip for 3 people.
The pressure exerted by the index finger to the thumb joints should be 9.81 kPa +/- 15%.
Pro tip:
10g of salt for 100g of pasta boiled in 1000g of water
I usually make 250g for two persons, so I use 2,5l of water and 25g of salt
Americans can figure out the conversion by themselves :’D
Fortunately we can buy metric scales here too. You have to ask for them in the back of the shop and pay cash only, but they exist.
Or just do 👌per person. Embodied knowledge, yo
That is an American measure. Imprecise as fuck.
