This is what happens, and the powder once it gets stuck is not very easy to remove. The other scoops maintained ācleanā much longer than the new ones.
I used to clean the scoops like once per month, but now on the first use gets the powder stuck.
Yes I saw that Reddit post. To clarify, you arenāt saying that the shaker has this same problem (like on the lanyard), just that the continuation of that design style onto the scoop causes problems.
I totally see this, I will raise with the folks who have designed the scoop. Although I donāt understand the concern about it being dangerous/contaminated. Messy, yes. If you just left the scoop in the pouch before then the powder in these lines doesnāt change that. I just wash the scoop after the pouch is finished and leave it in the rest of the time, is that what you do with yours?
Thanks for flagging though, can see this being messy and annoying.
I try to have my hands clean before using the scoop but you never know when handling food.
Having to touch the same old powder stuck in those lines is not nice. Also with the new scoop I always get my thumb ādirtyā with powder. First world problems, but, if there were a contamination problem, that I have never suffered with Huel, those lines have some possibilities of being the reason.
Horrified I actually noted that if you shine a light (like the one on your phone) from the base of the bottle itās transparent enough to illuminate the inside of the bottle and you can see through the plastic. Would be awesome if there was a set of huel kitchen scales with an led in the middle that to could stand the bottle on. I know itās overkill etc etc but still looks cool while you make your huel.
May I thank you for bringing out the new shaker? Initially I was a but grumpy because it didnāt fit into my carās holder (Mini) so I use the old ones for journeys. Also theyāre not stackable as the others were.
But then I did a happy dance as itās perfect inside my HBBs, just the perfect shape inside. Moreover the neckās plenty wide for my extra large ice cubes & Iāve had not one instance of leakageā¦ So, Iāve popped up a wee shelf above my kitchen radiator, knitted a wee cotton cushiony drainer & my penguins dry there, all cosy like.
Eastman Tritan plastic is physically more stable than Polycarbonate or Polypropylene, but Tritan also emits synthetic estrogen:
According to internal Eastman documents, in 2008 Eastman signed a two-year contract with Sciences International, another product defense firm that had played a key role in the tobacco industryās scientific misinformation campaign. On Sciencesā advice, Eastman then commissioned a study that used computer modeling to predict whether a substance contains synthetic estrogens, based on its chemical structure. The model suggested that one of Tritanās ingredientsātriphenyl phosphate, or TPPāwas more estrogenic than BPA.
ā¦ so Tritan is āBPA freeā but not āestrogen freeā
every type of plastic commonly used in food packaging (polypropylene and polystyrene, for example) tested positive in some cases, which suggested there was no surefire way to avoid exposure.
solutions? no dishwasher, no UV light, no microwave ā at least reduce estrogen levels
@milahu thereās no need to cross post your comments on multiple threads. Letās keep the forum tidy, I generally read every post that is written here. In reply
Thereās no need to miss them! Theyāre still here, and you can get yourself another few if youād like.
Iām here for when you put a light in the shakers. I go through gadget phases, but I do still love how my Hidrate Spark lights up when I need to drink. The price is a bit steep, but I was gifted a fifty quid Amazon voucher so you know, it only cost me a tenner
or branch out into some shaker āinspiredā kitchen clutter - like some co-branded compact digital scales to satisfy the grammage obsessed - or some scaled down 100g flavour boost storage pots/shakers with re-positionable transparent labelling.
After 1 month with the new shaker and making today a Huel with the old one I have to say the the old one works infinitely better creating less lumps and mixing it much better.
Its sad but its real. The new shaker its great for carrying it out of home but it works worse for a daily driver. I wouldnt consider it a mixer or a shaker, just a bottle. I think its a missed opportunity
I am no expert l, but having rounded corners inside the bottle seems to make the mixing less efficient or agressive to avoid lumps.
