Should you roll larger drops if shaking isn't enough to separate fingers?

• A. Always roll larger drops
• B. Never roll larger drops
• C. Roll larger drops only if shaking isn't enough to separate fingers
• D. Roll larger drops only if timer is near end

Answer: (C)

When separating pieces that have stuck together, use a stepwise approach. Shake the basket first to loosen and separate the fingers. If some pieces remain fused after shaking, apply a controlled rolling motion with larger drops to help pry them apart. This sequence is best because it relies on the gentlest method first and only uses the more forceful rolling as a backup when shaking isn’t enough. Rolling larger drops all the time would risk damaging the fingers and coating, while never rolling would leave clumps that shaking can’t resolve. The timing option isn’t relevant to whether this technique should be used.
