Does this mean that we ought not to be timid on the outset attacking small CIP projects, or should we start big and work down from there? -My second thought is that you might be able to get more into the bowl by dissolving, salt sugar, or juice mix into the water before pouring it into the bowl; I have not yet tested this idea though.

I have seen the demo done in person but the video is nice (aside from the music they chose!). @ Larry - Yes, my oldest definitely wears her emotions on her sleeve!
