What should be done to scrape down a mixing bowl with a spatula?

Increase the speed of the mixer and lower the bowl
Stop the mixer and lower the bowl
Reduce the speed of the mixer and lower the bowl
Lower the bowl and tip the bowl forward

The correct answer is: Stop the mixer and lower the bowl

To scrape down a mixing bowl with a spatula, stopping the mixer and lowering the bowl is essential for safety and precision. Stopping the mixer prevents any risk of injury from the moving parts while allowing for a controlled and accurate scraping process. Lowering the bowl furthers facilitates easier access to the ingredients stuck to the sides or bottom, enabling comprehensive mixing. This approach ensures that all components are incorporated properly without the risk of splattering or overmixing, which could occur if the mixer were left running during this process.
