Brilio.net - A blender is one of the kitchen tools that is often used every day. In addition to making juice, many people also use blenders to smooth cooking spices.
Because it is often used, the blade in the blender can become blunt. This makes the process of smoothing food ingredients less than optimal. In order for the ingredients to be smooth, you have to blend longer. However, this method is not only troublesome, but also makes electricity usage more wasteful.
Therefore, blender knives need to be sharpened periodically. Unlike ordinary knives, blender knives cannot be sharpened carelessly. If not done properly, the knife can be damaged or broken.
Many people sharpen blender blades using eggshells. The hard texture of the eggshell helps sharpen dull blades. Although the blades become sharp again, sometimes the eggshells leave a fishy smell in the blender, so it needs to be cleaned several times.
If you don't want to bother, there is another way you can try, as done by a netizen named Ahmad Harisman.
In one of the videos uploaded on his YouTube, he uses a salt solution to sharpen the blender blade. Curious about how and the results?
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Ahmad Harisman on Tuesday (17/9), plug the blender into the power supply. Once done, open the blender and add 3-4 tsp of salt.

The crystal-like and hard-textured salt is believed to be able to make the blender knife sharpened to the maximum. Make sure to do this regularly so that the blender knife becomes maximally sharp.
Open the lid of the blender after it has been turned on for 5 minutes. Discard the salt solution and then rinse the blender cup with plain water. If you want maximum cleaning, the blender cup can also be washed with dish soap as usual.
Reinstall the clean blender cup into the machine. Since it is sharp again, the blender can be used immediately to puree various foods or make juice.
