Review on 42030 Aluminum Speed Scoop - Enhanced for Superior Benchmarking by July Sin

I bought this spoon along with the popcorn maker I bought 2 years ago. spent a lot of time not only selling popcorn to customers behind the counter, but making it fresh in a Cretors professional popcorn machine several times a week! So I know popcorn very well! (And enjoy it like my favorite snack!) When I had to retire and lead a less active lifestyle, I decided that I would fulfill my lifelong dream of owning an actual popcorn maker and making my own movie popcorn at home. to watch classic movies (mainly old westerns and sci-fi movies on Revain Prime). When I did that I bought 2 salt shakers and this spoon. The key to cinema-quality popcorn is using select ingredients like high-quality Ohio yellow popcorn and high-quality oils (I prefer butter-flavored Crisco oil as the popping oil because you don't have to grease it by adding melted butter, but you get a buttery flavor ) in the right proportion with the right heat. (The Cretors kettle ran at 500 degrees Fahrenheit and had precise oil metering and dispensing systems for perfect popcorn. The Cretors invented the automatic popcorn kettle in the late 1800s.) So now, with a quality kettle for home use, I needed one Shovel to separate popcorn from the few unpopped seeds that are always inevitable. just that. Whether you're using a stovetop skillet or kettle or dedicated standalone kettle like I am now, you'll appreciate the scoop's ability to quickly sort and serve hot popcorn as it cooks becomes. It works just as well with a bowl and paper bags. (e.g. carnival style popcorn bags available for home use or regular brown paper lunch bags). Because it's thick aluminum with a plastic handle, it's easy to handle and clean in the sink or dishwasher. It also protects your hand from possible burns or oil spills from the product from your hand when using it. It's identical in every way to the scoops we used in the theater years ago! (And, I've noticed, in today's movie mega complexes.) If you often cook corn for family movie nights or parties, or have a commercial popper at your work place, this is practically a must-have tool! I highly recommend this shovel!
