I have one in a drawer somewhere too. I used it for about a week, then the novelty wore off and I found that my finger works just as good. I have gotten to the point where a little scald stops hurting after a bit. I know an electrician that gets zapped with 110 all the time and he just shakes it off. He always tells me, "Man up!"
I have a South African style curry recipe that I need to dig out and post. It's different from most Indian curry recipe's and I think it should go over well. I know that everyone I serve it to loves it. Will post on the morrow.

I'm not sure if they make ones with different measurements but the older ones have two sides that you can put in the cup so if you want a half cup then you put the longer progns in and if you want a full cup or almost full then you put the shorter prongs in. The only downside to having one of these is if you have a small cup you get to have less liquid in it. I personally don't use one anymore.

You hang the wire prongs over the cup, glass, pitcher or what ever, and when liquid, hot or cold , is poured into it, and, it reaches the tip of the prongs on the inside of the item your filling a high pitch will beep to let you know it is full enough and not to add any more. They have been around for years, as mine is a old one but still works great, if I use it, which isn't real often any more. This keeps from over filling, and under filling also.
