Abstract
The present invention provides an adjustable height apparatus for storing, measuring and dispensing a desired quantity of semi-solid food, the apparatus being assembled on a piston base with peripheral contact inside a rigid circular sleeve configured for storing at least 600 cubic centimeters of a semi-solid food substance above the piston base inside the rigid circular cylinder. Preferably, the rigid circular sleeve is transparent. After filling, the apparatus is configured to enable pushing a measured food material out the top of the cylinder. A graduated bar is slidingly engaged in the outer surface of the circular sleeve such that markings on it can be aligned with the top of the piston base. Pushing down on the circular sleeve enables the desired quantity only to be above the top rim of the cylinder.
