Brilio.net - Blender has become one of the most reliable kitchen tools for various cooking purposes, especially in grinding spices. With the ability to grind ingredients, blenders can facilitate the preparation of cooking spices such as garlic, chili, ginger, and other spices. Using a blender not only saves time and energy, but also makes the spices mix perfectly in cooking.
Unfortunately, the blender's greatness in grinding spices often leaves its own challenges, namely the aroma that sticks inside the blender container. Spices with strong odors such as garlic or shallots can leave traces of aroma that are difficult to remove, even after washing with soap. This lingering aroma is not only annoying, but can also affect the taste of other ingredients processed using the blender.
Dealing with the smell of spices that stick to the blender requires special attention. There are several effective ways that can be applied, such as those done by Instagram user @resepsayurmayurlengkap. Through one of the videos uploaded, he admitted to only using kitchen ingredients .
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @resepsayurmayurlengkap on Monday (2/12), the ingredients in question are lime, dish soap, and rice. Well, in addition to removing the smell of spices in the blender, these ingredients can also be used to make the blender blade sharper. This is because the use of rice will help erode the surface of the blender blade when pureed.

How to use it is quite easy. First, put in a little rice, lime slices, and a little dish soap. After that, pour water until it really foams. Make sure the water is not too much or full, okay. Just half is enough.

Next, close the blender and install it on the machine. Then turn on the blender and let it sit for 3 minutes. After blending, the water in the tube will immediately foam. Well, the condition of the blender that is like that indicates that the inside is clean.

Once done, immediately throw away the water that has been blended. Then rinse the inside of the blender with running water. Make sure there is no soap residue or dirt still stuck, okay? That way, the blender will be cleaner, smell better, and the blades will be sharp again.
