Brilio.net - A blender is a kitchen tool that functions to smooth various types of food ingredients. The operation of a blender is very easy because it only requires one button to activate it. The smoothing process occurs automatically when the blender is turned on.
The blender design is equipped with 2-5 propeller-shaped blades that will rotate at high speed. The rotation of the blades produces a chopping motion on the food. The continuous chopping process makes the food smooth evenly.
Continuous use of the blender can cause the blade to become blunt. A dull blade reduces the effectiveness of the blender in chopping food ingredients. Maintenance of the blender blade needs to be done to keep it sharp and optimal.
Sharpening blender blades can be done in various simple ways. One effective method is to use coarse salt and eggshells as natural sharpening agents. The experience of a content creator on YouTube named Amnaifa Channel shows that blender blades can last for years without special sharpening.
"This is a blender blade that hasn't been sharpened for years. Because it's used often, it causes dirt and crust on the blade," explained YouTube Amnaifa Channel, quoted by BrilioFood on Friday (27/12).
Through the video uploaded earlier, Amnaifa also revealed a simple way to sharpen and clean the blade. Who would have thought, she only used simple materials and tools, namely toothpaste and sandpaper.
So before sharpening, make sure the blender blade is separated from the glass and the machine, okay? After that, the blender blade must be cleaned first from scale and dirt. The method is, rinse the blender blade with water, then apply the toothpaste to the crusty part on the blade.

Next, smooth the toothpaste. After that, scrub the blender blade using a wire brush. If it is clean and free of scale, immediately rinse the blender blade with water. Then wipe it dry using a tissue.

Now, to sharpen the blender blade, you can use small sandpaper size 800. Simply rub the blade using sandpaper from top to bottom. Repeat this sharpening process until the blade is sharp.

When sharpening, adjust to the number of blades on the blender. In the video, there are four blades in one blender. That way, Amnaifa repeats the sharpening process on the four blades.

For the final step, rinse the blade again with water. Then dry it using a tissue or clean cloth. This will help remove any remaining sandpaper crumbs that were previously stuck to the blade. That way, the blender blade can be reinstalled in the machine and is ready to be used again.
"Well, the blender blades are like new again. Shiny, shiny, and the blades are very sharp," said YouTube user Amnaifa Channel.
