Default Anyone here use a disher for portioning cookie dough?

Ideally, the disher number is the number of scoops it can dish out of a
quart. In real life, they are only loosely calibrated. So one
manufacturer's #60 could actually have a different volume than another
manufacturer's #60. Sometimes the difference is over 50%. Not only is
there variation among manufacturers, there is also variation within a
single manufacturer so that their #8, say, might be closer to the ideal,
percentage wise, than their #20.

There's no need for great concern because a disher is used to make
consistent portions, not to measure things. So, once you get a recipe
dialed in to a particular disher, it will be the same forever. Just
don't expect a #30 to have exactly twice the volume of a #60, especially
if it's from a different manufacturer.

Ideally again, a #64 disher would portion out a tablespoon exactly, but
nobody makes them. BTW, the color code on the handle of a #60 is pink.
