Clean your mixer easily
After use, the mixer bowl still contains a little of the preparation it has just blended, in this case strawberry coulis.
To clean it, you can usually dismantle it and wash the various parts in a dishwasher.
But there's a quicker and easier way: pour half its volume of hot water and a drop of washing-up liquid into your blender.
Turn on the blender and increase the speed until the soapy water reaches the highest level, then leave for a few seconds.
Drain the soapy water, rinse and your mixer is ready for use again.
To sum up: there's no need to systematically dismantle and wash your blender after use. Just give it a whirl with a little hot water and a drop of washing-up liquid.

The importance of sieving
In recipes that use a fine powder (flour, powdered sugar, etc.), you'll often see the advice to sift before using it. To sift is to pass the powder in question through a sieve (a very fine strainer) before incorporating it into your recipe. It's often advice, but is it really useful?September 3rd 20257,1703
The grease spray
As soon as you have something in a recipe that sticks to the mold, the question always arises as to how difficult it is to remove from the mold.
