The Aldi Finds section is overflowing with kitchen goods that can make cooking simpler and more enjoyable. Any time there is a shortcut to prepping ingredients, I am willing to test it out. Whether that’s a garlic press, a handy can opener or a microplane to zest citrus, there are some gadgets that are worth the drawer space.
This new Crofton Squash Scoop at Aldi seems like it might be a helpful tool this fall. The task of cutting up and scooping out the seeds of a squash can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re not well-practiced. This scoop, with a soft-grip handle, has a large spoon end with small tines on it that helps loosen and scrape the stringy bites out of the center of the squash. And bonus – it’s dishwasher safe, so clean-up is a breeze.
Aldi’s New Squash Scoop Make Squash Prep a Breeze
And since Aldi carries multiple types of winter squash, including spaghetti, acorn and butternut, you’ll certainly have a use for the squash scoop. You can make butternut squash soup, roasted maple acorn squash or steamed spaghetti squash with meat sauce, or any squash recipes that suit your menu plan.
This would also make the perfect tool for scooping out pumpkin innards and seeds to make Jack-o-Lanterns. While that’s not the most fun part of the task, this scoop will make things a whole lot easier. You’ll be cutting out faces and lighting a candle in no-time.
And for just $4.99, I think it’s worth a try. It comes in 2 handle colors, black and jade green, allowing you to choose whichever matches your other kitchen items. It’ll arrive on Aldi Finds shelves on September 17, and will be a limited-time fall item only, so grab one next time you make a stop at your neighborhood store.
