Another essential kitchen tool that I use is the scoop, also known as a disher. When making dumplings, spring rolls or samosas, these little scoops save a lot of time; mainly because they keep your hands clean! If you use a normal spoon, you will tend to get filling on your hands, which will transfer to the work surface and to the outside of the product. When making 50 to 100+ pieces of something, the extra time needed to periodically clean the surface, clean your hands, and remove unwanted filling from the outside of the product, really adds up.
