      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    Delicious!!! So light and fluffy and easy to make. I didn't make the icing as already had some pre-made Betty Crocker leftover in my pantry I wanted to get rid of but the cupcake itself was amazing! Highly recommend 😊
