Brilio.net - The glass blender cup is an important component that determines the efficiency and comfort of using the blender. Made from thick glass that is heat and cold resistant, this glass is able to withstand impacts and friction from various food ingredients being blended. In addition, glass cups do not absorb odors or colors from food ingredients, so the freshness of the food will always be maintained every time it is used.
However, please note that glass also has several disadvantages that need to be considered. Even though they are durable, glass cups are still vulnerable to breaking if dropped or hit hard. Additionally, glass cups are usually heavier than other materials such as plastic, which may be uncomfortable for some users.
This weakness is often an obstacle that many people experience when using glass blenders . If it has fallen and cracked, the glass blender cup will be unfit for use. Not without reason, food or drinks that are blended become seeped and just thrown away.
So to overcome this, a number of people usually throw it away and buy a new blender cup. In fact, this blender glass can be repaired easily, you know. A YouTube user, Yt. Creative Craftsman once cleaned up a simple tutorial on patching cracked and broken glass blenders so they are suitable for use again.
How to patch a blender glass.
Reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Yt. Creative Craftsman, Saturday (25/5), the YouTube user used glue to patch the blender glass. But not only that, he also relies on one kitchen spice, namely micin . So, this micin will be mixed with glue so that the result is stickier and sturdier.

To be more precise, drip glue onto the outside of the cracked blender glass. After that, sprinkle the area with enough micin. Then apply glue and sprinkle with micin again to make it stronger and denser. Repeat this process several times until the cracked or broken part is completely covered.

Then, if you feel it is solid, leave it for a few minutes until the glue is dry. After that, wipe the blender glass with a cloth so that the remaining micin that is not stuck can fall off. That way, the blender cup will be sturdy again and won't leak, so it can be used as usual without fear of leaks.

Natural ingredients that can remove stubborn odors in blenders.
Using natural ingredients not only helps eliminate odors, but is also safe for the blender and the environment. Here are nine natural ingredients that can help eliminate stubborn odors in your blender:
1. Lemons.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a blender. Add a little water and turn on the blender for a few seconds. Rinse until clean. Lemon has acidic properties that can eliminate unpleasant odors.
2. White vinegar.
Fill a blender with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Leave it for a few minutes, then rinse with clean water. White vinegar is known for its strong antibacterial properties.

Place a few tablespoons of ground coffee in a blender. Leave it for several hours or overnight, then rinse thoroughly. Ground coffee can absorb unpleasant odors.
