Default Anyone here use a disher for portioning cookie dough?

You got me curious- & I find it odd that Oxo has a disher/cookie size
chart. They say the #60 is for 2", the #40 for 2 3/4, and the #20 is
3 1/5. With no warnings on YMMV.

I would think the only way to find out for sure is to use them with a
recipe- and make that notation- i.e. a #60 yields 48 2" cookies.

I have a couple in my Christmas stocking for that reason. It seems
like the worse my eyes & patience get, the more varied my cookies
become.
