The “U” shaped segment is marked with 4 portion measurements, each representing a 4 to 6 ounce serving of spaghetti, linguine or fettuccine. The cookie cutters are a set of 6 farm animals, including a pig, duck, bird, horse, rabbit and cow. They are made of stainless steel and have a metal cutting edge to use on cookie dough or modeling clay.
