Any Home Bakers Here?

[ronott1]

I need a little help identifying some kitchen utensils I found today at the thrift store. I have no idea what they are. Hoping someone on this "Home Bakers Here" thread can help me.

Here's the picture...

I thought they might be some kind of dough whisk. Frankly, nobody at the thrift store knew what they were either. They just got dumped in the kitchen wares section with regular type of whisks and stirring sticks.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I used google lens on the image and it says they are fruit scoops.

I think you nailed it. Thanks. Looks like I got 2 out of the 3 fruit scoops at the thrift shop, the red and yellow one, but not the largest orange scoop.

I'll have to check out that Google lens app. Sounds like a good program. I did upload my picture to MS CoPilot, but it failed to ID those items. So, good for Google lens.

And thanks for the Amazon link. One Amazon reviewer said they were great for watermelon and cantaloupe. So that's what I will keep them in mind for next time we have those fruit.

Nobody at the Thrift Shop knew what they were for. But, that probably worked out to my advantage. I purchased them for only 10 cents each. It was worth the money just to find out what they were, but I'm sure I'll get my money's worth out of them on the first use!

Again, thanks to everyone who responded to my inquiry.

I got a seal of approval for my sourdough crumpets from my fish.

Canning Jars are great for a lot of things. When I make soup I store it in them hot, put the seals on let cool and store in refrigerator to enjoy later. Works great.

I do that too, great for leftover soup!

Or because you tapped on his glass?
Hey home bakers !

Hey @pennyJo1960! How's your hubby doing?

That sounds like a great idea. Do you find that when the jar cools down, that the lid seals tight, and therefore the soup will last longer in the fridge as compared to just using some plastic wares with a lid?

We make all kinds of soup on our cold winter months. Nothing better than a hot bowl of soup after I come in from snow blowing out the driveway. Warms me up fast.

Anyways, we have been putting our soup in plastic containers, labeling them, and putting them out in the freezer until we want to use them. I don't like to leave soup in the fridge for more than a few days, but maybe your soup canning method in jars would keep the soup fresher, longer?

FWIW, we reuse the plastic containers from the 9 oz. Honey Ham we get at WalMart....

Those containers are just about the perfect size for leftovers for me and Dear Wife. Not too much food in each container with only 9 oz size. The food goes pretty fast in those small containers and does not go bad sitting in the fridge. Just about the perfect size for two big bowls of soup. Makes it easy for meal planning in the sense we can just take one of those plastic containers from the freezer and know it's just enough for a meal for the two of us.

Eventually, they will crack or break, usually on the lid. But we manage to get maybe a year's worth of reuse on them before then. They don't take up much storage space in the cupboard because they nest into each other. We currently have a stack about 15 high and it does not take much room at all. It's also good to reuse and/or repurpose those containers instead of immediately sending them to the landfill.

The Soup cools down a little and I store in refrigerator and I
find it lasts longer. No problems. I keep the same jars and tops....and they work every time. Aria

He is having a small look into his heart today, he is alert enough
to say yes to the procedure.

I just took my bread out of the oven. It is a loaf of garlic and herb, and I used Tangzhong.
