Observation: Round containers used as a "scoop" for sauces and dry goods.
Corrective Action(s): Refrain from using these containers. Obtain a scoop for dry storage items. If you have a stewy item (e.g. chickpea stew), you may consider using a ladle. However, do not leave round containers without handles floating inside sauces.
