ABSTRACT:
A measuring and dispensing device for shortening and similar semi-solid materials. The device includes a scoop having a tubular body with an inner surface, the scoop being open at both ends and having a handle. A plunger is closely receivable in one end of the tubular body and is movable to displace semi-solid material from the other end of the tubular body. Measurement gradations are provided on either the tubular body or the plunger, the tubular body preferably being transparent. The scoop may be filled with shortening, the excess being cut off with a knife or similar object, and the plunger then inserted to simultaneously measure and displace the desired amount of semi-solid material. To spread semi-solid material on a surface such as a cookie sheet or casserole, a flexible perforated cap is provided which is removably attachable to the opposite end of the tubular body. As the plunger is depressed and the device is drawn across the surface, the perforations allow semi-solid material to extrude outwardly thereby dispersing the material on the surface as desired.
