How to clean your Blender
Blending food is a trend
that has gained traction in the last couple of years. It has always been a part
of food culture. Blending has been used to make recipes more interesting
and provide new flavors. However, it was not until recently that we started to
explore the world through our sense of taste.
Nowadays, people start
with a drinkable liquid and then blend it with another one to create an
entirely new flavor and sensation. You can now experience different textures
and flavors without having to eat multiple dishes in one sitting or change your
diet completely.
There are many reasons
behind the blending food trend: from convenience to health reasons, and more.
Some people prefer the taste of blended smoothies over more traditional foods
as well.
This trend is not only a
great way to get all your nutritional needs met, but also a fun and easy way to
get your kids more interested in what they are eating. Blending their favorite
fruits and veggies into yummy desserts can make them feel like they are getting
away with something!

How to clean your
blender. To make your blender last longer, you must clean your blender after
each use - otherwise, bacteria can build up on the blades. Cleaning your
blender should be done at least once a week.
Luckily, some easy steps can get the job done
in minutes with little effort. The two most common types of blenders are
immersion blenders and countertop blenders.
1. Immersion Blenders: This
blender is the cheapest type of blender and perfect for soups, purees, and baby
food. This blender type has a long handle and is attached directly to the
container you want to blend your ingredients in.
2. Countertop Blenders: The
countertop blenders are more powerful than the immersion blenders. They are
lightweight and come in a variety of sizes. They usually have a glass jar that
is placed on the machine itself with a lid for sealing the jar on top, so it
does not spill out when blending.
For larger quantities,
countertop machines are more useful as they can blend large. How to clean a
countertop blender To clean your countertop blender, follow these steps: Step
1: Place a few drops of dish soap in the blender and add warm water until it’s
about halfway full.
Step 2: Turn on the blender
for thirty seconds to make sure that it gets deep into all of the blades in the
jar.
Step 3: Fill up the jar with warm water and put it back on the
base again for a minute or so to make sure that you get rid of any leftover
bubbles from step two (if there are any). Step 4: Turn off your blender and
remove it from the base by using a towel or dish rag to grip onto it, then
rinse it with fresh water after you have removed all of its contents, inside
and out, if necessary––use caution when cleaning the inside of the jar if the
blade cannot be detached to avoid cuts.
Step 5: Assemble all parts back and store them in a dry place.
