After batter I rinse the mixing bowl at once and dry it apart, not nested with flour

The batter is already in the tins — and in the bowl there is still a film of flour and drips. Easy to nest it wet inside another bowl “to save space”: by morning it stews between the walls, and on the next mix there is a grey smell. I rinse at once, before the batter sets hard, wipe and leave it apart — not a nest of wet bowls overnight.

After batter I rinse the mixing bowl at once and dry it apart, not nested with flour. The whisk separately is another note; leftover Yorkshire batter its own; the colander another story. Here it’s the bowl after the mix: rinsed, dry — not a wet nest in the cupboard.

If it has already dried on the sides — only warm water, not a knife on the steel. I don’t dry plastic on the radiator until it warps. I’m not shopping for a new set of bowls with a review in this note — it’s about the one that already mixed today’s batch.

I don’t need a bowl that stews in a nest all night. I need a dry rim I’m not ashamed to tip flour into. At yours is the mixing bowl rinsed at once after batter — or already in the morning with a grey smell from the cupboard?
