To care for blender knives so they don't rust easily, there are several steps you can take:
1. Dry the knife well after use.
After using the blender, be sure to clean the blades thoroughly and dry them with a dry towel or rag. Removing moisture from the blade will help prevent rust from forming.
2. Avoid exposure to moisture.
Store the blender and blades in a dry place protected from moisture. Avoid storing the blender blade in damp or wet conditions, such as in a container that still has water remaining.
3. Use a knife that is stainless.
Choose a blender with blades made from rust-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or other materials coated with anti-rust. This will help reduce the risk of rust on the blender blade.
4. Use a mild detergent.
When cleaning the blender blade, use a mild detergent and clean with a soft sponge or brush. Avoid using abrasives or harsh cleaners that can damage the knife's protective coating.
5. Apply vegetable oil.
After cleaning and drying the blender blade, rub a small amount of vegetable oil on the surface of the blade. This oil will help protect the knife from moisture in the air and prevent rust from forming.
6. Pay attention to the storage environment.
Make sure the blender and knife storage area is in a place that is clean, dry and has good air circulation. Avoid storing blender blades in closed conditions that are damp and could potentially cause rust.
