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.

A little leftover butter
Very often when you're making a cake, your recipe will tell you to melt some butter and mix it into the batter - a classic for cookies, cakes, moelleux and the like. And every time you do this, you'll have to butter the baking tin to prevent the dough from sticking during baking. Naturally,...April 16th 20269785

Pre-calibrated pastry dough
When making pie dough (shortbread, shortcrust, sweet...), it's always a good idea to make a lot at once, and then divide it into pieces, which you can freeze. I've already pointed out the mistake not to make, which is to form a ball before freezing. It's difficult to roll out afterwards because...March 9th 20261,5265
Butter vs. grease
We often read in a recipe where a pastry is put into a mould that, just before pouring, the mould should be buttered or greased. But what's the difference between these 2 terms?December 1st 20253,5665
