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 little trap of thick cream
When you need to add cream to a recipe, you might be wondering: thick (heavy) cream or liquid cream? In most cases, there's no big difference: you can use either.

Sauce and salad: When and how to mix them?
When dressing a salad, there's a kind of golden rule: add the dressing very shortly before serving, especially if your salad contains crunchy elements such as croutons or fresh vegetables, which will retain their crunchiness or crispiness.
