Multi-Hinged Cap Always Pours the Perfect Pasta Portion
Pasta portioners seem like a popular target for designers, and while there's no shortage of clever ways to measure out the perfect amount, the Spaghetti Tower does so while also providing a sealed container to keep your pasta fresh.
Designed by the chaps at OTOTO, the Spaghetti Tower features a tapered multi-hinged lid that can open in four different ways to portion out pasta for up to four diners at once. It's an elegant and simple solution to a problem that really isn't that big of an issue for most cooks. But if you always find yourself with too much leftover, the Spaghetti Tower should be hitting stores soon given OTOTO's other designs are already available for purchase.

It seems as though you could not make four different dinners (diners? built of pasta? AWESOME) unless you were using only the smallest of those hinges. If you used any of the larger ones, the majority of the pasta would come out, and you would be unable to use any of the other hinges more than once to the effect of getting a complete measurement of pasta.
So why not just have one hinge?
