Sagaform's All-In-One Pasta and Parmesan Tool

We ate a big bowl of pasta last night for dinner - it was spicy and tasty with blackened chicken, kalamata olives, and feta cheese. It was a good reminder of what a comfort dish pasta can be all year round. We were also reminded of this multi-use pasta tool we just saw at A+R...

This great little tool from Sagaform combines three kitchen tools in one. First, the handle end of the tool can be used for measuring out portions of pasta - very helpful for those of us who "eyeball" it then end up eating spaghetti for three days. Then the fork end of the tool acts as a pasta server - which we like a lot - and finally you can grate your Parmesan using the built-in grater.

This is the opposite of a unitasker! What do you think? Would you like to have all these things in one tool? It's pretty sleek-looking, too...

I don't know, I feel like this might be a case of jack of all trades, master of none. There are surely better cheese graters out there than this one and the scooping and measuring functions seem rather gimmicky to me.

I like the idea, but not enough to buy it. I already have all those things, so I don't need to add more clutter to my kitchen... because I'm certainly not throwing out my old tools for this one.

It looks nice. I have some concerns though. How sturdy is it? Would the teeth bend easily? How many servings does it measure? More than 1 and I have no interest.

I really don't use pasta forks. I'd consider it if it were a grater and serving size measure, something that were to lay slightly more flat. Also if it were a bit cheaper.

My concern is do you have to wash it after the pasta is cooked before you grate the cheese? I would think the starch water would make it sticky. How multi purpose is it if you have to stop mid prep and wash?

Oh, as usual you all are so practical! Good points all.

But it's so cute.

If you are short on space, go for it. Otherwise, I suggest buying separate tools; in fact, buy the tools you need.
