I’m a baker – the right way to line your bowl with cling film that’s faff-free and saves LOADS of time on washing up
A BAKER has been praised for sharing an ingenious way to line a bowl with cling film with absolutely “no faff”.
Tat Effby took to her TikTok page to post a video explaining her much-used tip, as she said she needed to line hers for a recipe she was making later.
“Lay a big enough piece of film into the bowl loosely and press down lightly,” she began.
“Then half fill the bowl with water.
“When it’s about half filled, release the sides, and let the weight of the water press the film down tot the bottom.
“And then continue to fill it up so all the film is pressed against the bowl’s sides, just like that.”
Once that’s done, you can pour the water out to reveal a “nice tightly lined bowl”.
“If you need it to be dry, then you just have to dab it carefully,” she said.
The trick also works with baking paper.
“Just scrunch the paper up, fill it with water and leave the water in there just long enough for it to soften and mould to the sides of the bowl,” she said.
“As before, just pour the water out and you’ve got yourself a paper-lined basin ready to use.”
People were quick to comment on the video, with one person calling it “genius!”
“Very smart!” another added.
“That’s a fantastic tip I’ll be using it for sure,” a third commented.
