It works for most things in my experience; but I've not tried tahini. I'd presume that it won't work for things that contain a lot of oil already because they'll absorb the oil off the implement. Certainly works well for molasses, golden syrup, honey, glycerin.
Jan 29, 2024 at 12:48 comment added Andrew Jackson I appreciate the comment, but I'm skeptical for three reasons. Firstly, it would definitely have to be a neutral oil that won't noticeably affect the recipe you're following. But more importantly, I don't imagine that everything will freely separate itself from oil (and I'm not just talking about dry ingredients here). Moreover, I'm not sure that it'd help if I need the cup to get rid of 'lumps' in a mixture, as is often the case with tahini that has settled. I think it'll just make more of a mess.
