Cleaning out T.M bowl
« on: December 05, 2009, 10:36:52 am »
One of the most annoying things about the T.M ,  is cleaning out that last delicious bit at the bottom.   I was given a plastic thing on a long handle to clean out the cream bottle. It is fantastic for getting the remains of mixtures out of the T.M   As far as I know, you cannot purchase them in Australia.   Mine came from Holland.   I will try and describe it.   
   The plastic handle is 34 cm. long, and 3/4 cm. wide.   It fits into a base that is a 1/2 circle.  - 5 1/2 cm on the flat side and 2 cm. on the deepest part of the semicircle. The 1/2 circle is flexible so that when you scrape under the blades it doesn't get stuck.
  It is made by Tiger Plastics Holland and has Aangevr stamped on it.    I tried to find it on the internet but without luck.   Perhaps someone can help - even Grace or a Forum member who has a Dutch contact.   I feel that it is so valuable that it could become part of the starter kit.

Putting the bowl back on the cradle and putting it to speed 7 for a second or two will flick all of the extra bits to the side of the bowl from under and around the blades as well so you can just scrape out with the spatula  ;)

I'm sure I would have seen or been told about that Kathryn but I forgot all about it until I saw it done again at the last cooking class I went too.  It is firmly embedded in my brain now though - let's hope it stays there  :P :P :P

Kathryn's tip has saved me many minutes of frustration. I do that, then use my 1/2 size silicon spatula that bends under beautifully.
