11 Jun 12 - 02:37 PM (#3362167) Subject: BS: Cleaning interior of a cocktail shaker From: Will Fly I've just acquired an Art Deco silver-plated cocktail shaker. The exterior is beautiful - but I need to clean out the interior before I start blending and pouring. Any suggestions as to the best way to clean the interior - or is simple soap and hot water the answer? |

I once read an article by a museum curator on how to care for fine household objects. She said the best thing to do with silver and silver plate is to use it often and wash it like the other dishes in the kitchen sink. (not the dishwasher) If that's good for knives and forks, why not for a cocktail shaker? |

My little dog is of a breed that on an individual basis may not be able to contain its tongue inside its mouth. I would not like to visualize that on a human being. |

He can lick out my shaker any day - just let me have my camera to hand... |
