Brilio.net - Turmeric is a type of spice that is often used for cooking. This spice has a distinctive yellow color so it is often used as a natural dye. Reporting from medicalnewstoday.com, this yellow color comes from the curcumin substance contained in turmeric.
However, behind its benefits, the yellow color of turmeric actually sticks to various kitchen utensils used. Like turmeric stains left in the blender. The parts of the blender that are directly exposed to turmeric will automatically change color to yellow. The blender knife part is no exception.
Unfortunately, removing turmeric stains is quite difficult. Even though it has been washed repeatedly, turmeric stains are usually still clearly visible on the blender blade. If it's like this, like it or not, the blender blade has to be scrubbed with a baking soda solution.
After rubbing for a while, the yellowish stain on the blender blade disappeared. Just wash the blender blade with dish soap, then rinse until it is as clean as possible.
But it turns out there are other ways that can be practiced to remove turmeric stains from blender blades . The method was demonstrated by Instagram user @ni.ghinaa in one of his video uploads. Apart from being easy to imitate, this method also doesn't use any ingredients at all, you know. So how?
Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @ni.ghinaa on Monday (20/5), he showed the appearance of his blender knife. Even though it has been washed repeatedly, the blender blade still looks yellowish after being used to grind the turmeric.
"The stains are stuck, it's not really nice to look at," he said.

Knowing this, he didn't rub the blender blade with baking soda solution. Instead, put the blender knife directly in the sun. Yes, the blender blade is dried in the sun for a few minutes.
"I didn't dry it for less than 1 hour," said the owner of the video.

After drying it in the sun for a few minutes, the turmeric stains on the blender blade were visible and nothing remained. Not without reason, as reported by saex.co.id, UV rays from the sun are indeed effective in destroying the curcumin substance in turmeric. Therefore, the blender knife will be maximally clean again.

How to sharpen a blender knife using egg shells.
Sharpening blender knives with egg shells is a natural and simple way to keep knives sharp. Here are the steps you can follow:
- Collect egg shells:
Use the shells from 2-3 eggs. Make sure the shells have been cleaned and dried well.
- Crush the egg shell:
Crush the egg shells into small pieces. You can use your hands or a crusher to make sure the shells are small enough to be easy to process in a blender.
- Put the shells into the blender:
Place the eggshell pieces into a blender. Make sure there is enough to provide effective results, but not so much that it hinders the movement of the knife.
- Add water:
Add a little water to the blender. The water will help the shell move better and protect the blade from damage caused by too much friction.
- Blend at high speed:
Turn on the blender and let it spin on high speed for 1-2 minutes. This process will make the egg shells work like an abrasive which helps sharpen the blender blades.
- Check the blade:
After a few minutes, turn off the blender and check the condition of the blades. If you feel it is still not sharp, repeat the process several times until the knife is sharp again.
- Clean the blender:
Once the blades feel sharp enough, clean the blender well. Discard any remaining egg shells and rinse the blender with clean water. You can also wash the blender with dish soap to ensure it is clean.
Using egg shells as a blender knife sharpener is an environmentally friendly and effective method. Eggshells work as a natural abrasive that can help sharpen knives without damaging them. Make sure to do this method regularly to keep your blender blades sharp and efficient.
