10. One warning :)

Raw gluten is one of the stickiest substances you'll ever deal with in a kitchen. Your mixing bowl will have raw gluten stuck to it when you're done - guaranteed!

Minimize this by using a stainless steel or glass bowl, and do your cleanup by taking a small lump of raw gluten and rub it around the inside of your bowl. The gluten tends to stick to itself, and your little lump acts like a gluten magnet. This also works well to get raw gluten off of your fingers.

If your get the raw gluten stuck to your clothing, you can also use the gluten lump to remove the bits stuck to the fabric --BUT DO NOT RUB. Firmly press your raw gluten against the stuck gluten, then pull straight out with a bit of a snap. If you've ever used a bubble gum lump to clean up a popped bubble mishap, its the same process.

Good luck and good eating!
