That is the one I use. Hmm. I might try bugging the manager of the Sains Local about it.

If > I use a bowl I plaster the kitchen with chickpeas... Just a big bowl. The hand-blender I have appears to be good at not sloshing things everywhere.

Kake's recipe: http://www.earth.li/~kake/cookery/recipes/hummous.html I do do the skinning the chickpeas part, & it does seem to make a difference. However, I tend not to bother with measuring any more, but just stick stuff in at random & taste until it's right. I almost always want more lemon juice than I first thought.
