The hand blender is an extremely practical appliance in every kitchen. It makes the preparation of various meals easy. The modern hand blenders are equipped with various functions which will prove its usefulness during the everyday cooking. Because this kitchen appliance has a direct contact to food, it needs to be washed and cleaned thoroughly and efficiently. So how to clean the hand blender properly?
The hand blender is a precision household appliance which requires a thorough cleaning. This is not any easy task because the hand blenders have many nooks and crannies with hardly any access. But there are still many ways for keeping this kitchen appliance clean.
Rinse with water after each use
First of all, to make cleaning of the hand blender easier, rinse it immediately after each use under running water. The biggest problems while cleaning the hand blenders are caused by dried-out food remnants which stick practically everywhere – first of all at the shaft. If you leave the hand blender after meal preparation for a while and you let the food remnants to dry out, then the cleaning will be much more complicated. That is why we recommend you rinse the hand blender with water after each use in order to get rid of stubborn food remnants.
Ice cubes
In order to clean the hand blender thoroughly, even in the almost inaccessible nooks and crannies at the blades, we recommend you try the cleaning method which consists in using ice cubes. Put some ice cubes into the beaker and let them crush with hand blender. The hard crushed ice cubes will effectively clean the shaft and blades. Of course, you should remember that this way of cleaning can be used for hand blenders which are suitable for crushing ice cubes. Please keep in mind that there are still many hand blenders which cannot crush the hard ice cubes. But if you have a durable hand blender KSHB 910 B manufactured by the KERNAU brand, it can be effectively cleaned in this comfortable way. The hand blender KERNAU can crush ice cubes and many other hard products. It has as many as 20 speed levels and Turbo Rotation System which is an innovative system of blades which mix the meals thoroughly. This kitchen appliance comes equipped with the Turbo function which ensures very quick blending of various ingredients. The shaft of this hand blender is made of stainless steel.
Regular washing-up liquid
Another way to clean the hand blender is by using the regular washing-up liquid. Pour some water and washing-up liquid into the mixing beaker and turn the hand blender on. Please keep in mind that the beaker cannot be filled to the brink. This cleaning method is really very comfortable. We can say that in this case the hand blender cleans itself. After cleaning do not forget to rinse the blender under running water in order to get rid of the washing-up remnants. If there are some food remnants sticking to the surface of the blender, we recommend you put the appliance for a while into water to soak. The way with using the washing-up liquid is great for all appliances which have the mixing beaker in the scope of supply. This applies for example to the hand blender KSHB 800 W KERNAU. This is a modern appliance equipped with a capacious beaker which can be used for mixing of various ingredients. This blender has 20 speed levels and therefore the power can be adjusted to the blended products. The mixing shaft is made of stainless steel. The blades arrangement is called here Turbo Rotation System. The ergonomic shape of the hand blender makes the everyday operation very comfortable.
Soap?
Not everyone is aware of the fact that regular soap can also be used for cleaning of the hand blender. The procedure is here the same as for the washing-up liquid. Pour some water and soap solution into the beaker and then turn the appliance on. What is the difference between the soap and the washing-up liquid? The soap will clean the hand blender in a more gentle way than the washing-up liquid. Of course, after such a cleaning procedure the appliance must be rinsed thoroughly under running water.
Each of the above described cleaning methods is very effective as well as comfortable. If you decide to take advantage of one of the above methods you can be sure that your hand blender will be always sparkling clean and that there will be absolutely no food remnants sticking to the surface.
