Food matters - OXO cubes

So, if you have a recipe....

And that recipe calls for an OXO cube......

Do you swiftly remove the aluminium wrapper and chuck the whole thing in?

Or do you crumble the oxo cube between your fingers whilst dreaming of Cadbury Flake - the crumbliest, dreamiest chocolate that there is?

Chuck it in whole and stir it in later.

If you pull out the corners of the wrapping you can crumble the cube without opening it up. Less mess

No.

That is why it gets claggy.

The amount of time it spends in the slow cooker it doesn't get claggy for me.

One of the old OXO ads with Lynda Bellingham: it was quite risqué for its time.
