Saw this on Kirstie Allsop's programme - magic. Before trying to measure our black treacle or golden syrup for cooking gingerbread etc, rub a little sunflower or olive oil on the measuring spoon. It comes away cleanly,with no scraping with another spoon, and no getting it all over the side of the tin, your hands, the worktop and the dog!0

Or dip it in hot water as I was shown in Domestic Science classes way back when...The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.
Thanks to everyone who contributes to this wonderful forum. I'm very grateful for the guidance and friendliness that I always receive from you.

I like the Oxo one - I never knew until I saw it on the internet BUT i must be the only person who manages to rip the foil when crushing it inside! For me its easier to unwrap and crush with my fingers its the same amount of mess whichever way I do it ha ha
For me finding out TAG meant touch and go was madness and also that the clock face on the clock app on the iphone is an actual working clock!2 adults and 3 children DD (14), DD (12) & DS (10) :smileyhea and 2 mental beagles.
