i do that with mushrooms LOL i use a small spoon with a large handle (for the wieght, im wairy that my L021 will stick its lips through a fork, so iv not even tried :S probably wouldnt hurt it, but id feel like given a 2 year old a chefs knifes LOL
i also use a pasta ladel (has fork like ends to it to grab the spoon) to fish it out in the morning, saves me getting my whole arm wet
