From the 2013 KCBS Contest Rep Advisory:
2.07 Molding of Pork Entries
Question: For sanitary purposes, cooks are allowed to use an ice cream scoop for their pork presentation. Can they use a plastic cup as the utensil to form their entry for turn in?
Opinion: Yes. This is not considered marking.
Approved by KCBS Board of Directors, May 12, 2009
More confused than before.
So is the advisory saying that "Molding" is not "Marking", and is permitted?
