A method of administering a liquid food product to one or more dysphagic patients comprises introducing liquid food product into a measuring apparatus, the measuring apparatus comprising a stand supporting a fluid container and a valve, and a receptacle disposed beneath the fluid container; actuating the valve to release liquid food product from the fluid container into the receptacle for a predetermined time period; measuring the amount of liquid food product remaining in the fluid container; and from this determining whether the liquid food product is of a viscosity appropriate for the one or more dysphagic patients. The apparatus described herein is also useful in evaluating viscosity or flowability of other materials.
