My Procedure please help

ok so i first thought i kit was the way to go and now i realize that was way off. i do however have 3 shaker kits that are currently 50% colonized by mexi-cub strain mycelium. the substrate in the jars is boiled popcorn kernels and is colonizing nicely in my aquarium heater rigged incubator. can someone tell me the best way to get the colonized kernels out of the jars and into a casing?
ok second, i bought 14 jars and a rubbermaid big enough to hold 14 cakes. i got enough BRF and vermiculite to fill them all. i also have 2 cc's of mexi cub left and 20 cc's of amazonian. i plan to inoculate all of these jars with the boiling method(i'm going to boil twice [fractional sterilization]. i'm in a college dorm so i couldn't use a PC even if i had one) Then i'm going to incubate them until fully colonized. i'm going to crumble dunk and case at least 4 of the cakes in tin foil baking pans with sterile 50/50 casing. the rest of the cakes will sit on jar lids in my rubbermaid with perlite and water. i don't have a pump and i'm not going to get one. i have no money left for a little while. will just the rubbermaid with perlite and water with dark sides and a clear lid be okay for the fruiting chamber? all advice and tips are greatly appreciated.

If you have wide-mouth jars, just tap them upside down into your casing containers.
Your method and fruiting chamber sounds fine to me.

college dorm... they don't have a kitchen somewhere in your dorm. I am sure no one will ask when you just chill in the kitchen for an hour boiling something.
The tin foil baking pans are a good choice thats what I used, you should just use all cakes for casings IMO. Just keep the misting up and your perlite wet and your RH should be fine. For cakes you want your RH ahour 95% and higher but the casings I believe its better around 80-85% RH. Sounds like your fruiting chamber is good and good luck with your grow... ill be watching

nah no kitchen but i do have a water boiler that plugs in to my wall so i'm going to use that. i used it for my first 3 shakers and they are contaminant free so hopefully the other jars will be like that too. i have a few crumbling questions. from what i gathered from reading, i tip the jar upside down to get the cake out. then i put it into a ziploc baggy and crumble the cake. then i just put it in the casing and put the casing layer over it? do i have to do any dunking or anything?

you dont have to do anay dunking but you can once your cakes are fully colonized to re-hydrate them
