The Tools

I keep BoBo in a glass jar. I use 3 jars in total. One for the starter, one for my discard, and another one to swap when the jar is dirty. I have few of those jars lying in my kitchen cabinet from years of eating fermented bean paste (taucu). Yay to reuse, and less buying!

To stir, I started off with a silicon spatula. They are great for mixing and scraping down the jar after each feed, but not so good to move out some of the starter to the discard jar. And so, now I use a normal metal spoon during feed. Yay to easy washing after feed!

And my favourite kitchen equipment, an electric weighing scale. And a useful tip from one of those Youtube tutorials, weigh the empty jar and write it down somewhere!

My AM feed is usually around 8.30PM, and PM is at 8.30PM. I wasn’t particularly strict with the timing. Some days, I overslept and fed it at 10am, and some days I wanted an early night and fed it at 8PM, but I do try to follow the timing as closely as I can. After all, a hungry man is an angry man. 😈
