When I got my TM 2 1/2 years ago, my consultant said I should put the MC in with the open end up unless I was using the butterfly.

I didn't asky why but this makes sense to me because:
1.  It is easier to lick!
2.  It is easier to wash
3.  It makes the inside of the lid "flatter"

I wonder now whether I am the only person in the world who has a fixation with checking out who has got them in "upside down" in photos & videos - eg. Chef Dylan. Or is mine actually in "upside down".

I know I am a bit obsessive - I like shoes at 90 degrees, furniture, etc at 45 or 90 degrees and so on. Just wondering which way up the rest of you use your MC?!?!

Name of Recipe:  Yorkshire Pudding

Ingredients:
2 large eggs
150 gms plain flour
400 gms milk
Salt & pepper
Lard or oil for baking tin

1. Preheat oven to 230C/450F

3. Place tins with 1/2 to 1 tsp fat in each muffin cup into the hot oven until the fat is hot, about 5 minutes.
4. Pour batter quickly into the tins and cook individual puddings 15-20 minutes (30-40 minutes for one large pudding) until brown and well risen.
5. Serve immediately.

Tips/Hints:
I usually only start with 300 gms milk (I find that the majority of recipes I use involving flour & liquid tend to be on the soft side & turn out better with more flour or less liquid) & I use a fan-forced oven set at 210C.
