A blender is an indispensable household appliance in every family to make nutritious smoothies and juices. However, some housewives often make mistakes when using the machine, causing the device to break down quickly, the engine to be overloaded and even creating conditions for bacteria to grow, affecting health.
Putting ingredients in the wrong order
Many housewives have the habit of putting all the ingredients in blenders in no particular order. This is also the reason that affects the performance and durability of the blade. Adding hard, difficult materials such as the first stone balls will cause the blade to get stuck, the engine will work too hard and can cause engine failure.
The order to put the liquid (water, milk) into the blender will be, followed by the soft ingredients ( butter, banana), leafy vegetables and then ice cubes. This method will help create a whirlwind, helping the grinder operate more effectively to create a smooth, delicious smoothie.
leave the smoothies in the machine for too long
This is one of the quite serious mistakes because the leftover smoothies will stick to the tree walls. This will make it difficult to clean the machine as well as create an environment for bacteria and mold to grow easily, causing unsanitary conditions and affecting family health.
In addition, acidic fruits such as oranges and lemons can leave an unpleasant smell and leave a yellowing process if left for too long.
Dressing up too hot or hard
The blades and grills of most blenders are designed to process food at normal or cold temperatures. Pouring hot liquid (such as boiled soup) into the machine can create a large amount of steam.
The pressure from the steam being compressed in a closed space can push the hood of the device away, endangering the user. In particular, too hard beans, whole grain coffee or large ice cubes can also melt, break the blade or put heavy pressure on the engine.
Put more ingredients in a blender
Each blender has a line to specify the maximum level, so adding too many raw materials will make the machine not have enough space to create a whirlwind and mix the finished products. The result will be an easy and delicious smoothie.
In particular, when a grinder has to work at more capacity, it can heat up the grinder, reduce its life expectancy and cause fire. It is best to divide the ingredients and blend them many times to ensure the nutrients for the smoothie as well as protect the machine from damage.
