Blenders are essential for smoothies, soups, and sauces, but blades can dull over time, often due to improper usage. Juice expert Joni Brosnan warns against the common myth of sharpening blades with ice. Adding ice can damage blades; instead, ice should be added last when blending other ingredients. Regular cleaning is crucial to maintain blade sharpness, recommending warm water with soap for quick cleans and a deeper clean with baking soda and vinegar occasionally. This maintenance ensures optimal blender performance and longevity.
Please don't do this to your blender! Adding ice last can prevent the blades from getting strained, as ice can damage the blades over time.
Keeping on top of your cleaning routine is crucial. The blades wearing down are less of a concern if you wash them regularly after use.
For a deeper clean, try running lukewarm water with baking soda and vinegar to maintain your blender's performance.
The order you put ingredients into a blender matters; adding ice first can lead to dulling or breaking of the blades.
