Casting spoon

Give you fellers a heads up. I was at ChinaMart AKA Walmart this morning, and in the camping section they have great big stainless steel spoons for $2.47. Had to grab one. Will make a great skimmer/stirring spoon.

A few months back at Krogers I found a grill brush all stainless long handle and a brush end almost 3" square. I took the brush off ( 4 screws) and it makes a great paddle for stiring fluxing my Dutch oven pot. I to use the big serving spoons for skimming the dross off. I like the square edges on this cleaner for scraping the bottom and side of the pot. And at its size it does a good job agitating the pot when fluxing.

Thanks Reaper. When I go to town, I'll look that up. One of my favorite tools is a Navy surplus stainless serving spoon. I got it at "Sad Sack's" many years ago...

Lots of stuff from commercial kitchens are useful to our hobby. There is a big booth at a local flea market that has everything from closed restaurants.
The fryer baskets are great for washing/sifting range scrap. Lots of ladles, spatulas, and spoons, for smelting and pouring. Even SS pots made of heavy metal.

Been looking for one rats heavy duty enough. This may work. Thanks for the heads up.
