Blenders are a common kitchen appliance, but to ensure safety and longevity, it's essential to avoid certain types of food. Let's explore 7 types of food you should avoid putting into the blender!
1. Foods to Avoid Putting into the Blender
1. Coffee Beans
While you can still grind coffee beans with a blender, it's best to steer clear of hard beans as they can dull the blades and compromise the coffee's original flavor.
2. Đá viên hoặc thực phẩm đông lạnh
Đá viên cỡ lớn hay thực phẩm đông lạnh đều có ảnh hưởng xấu đến lưỡi dao, độ bền của máy. Với các máy công suất thấp, không những thực phẩm không được xay nhuyễn mà còn dễ bị hỏng lưỡi dao.
Do đó muốn xay đá viên bạn cần tán nhỏ, khuyến cáo nên sử dụng đá bào để xay, trộn.... sẽ đảm bảo cho độ bền của máy.
Các thực phẩm đông lạnh cần đợi rã đông và xắt miếng nhỏ sau đó mới thực hiện xay nhuyễn, bạn càng cẩn thận bao nhiêu thì thiết bị sẽ càng có tuổi thọ lâu bền bấy nhiêu.
4. Freshwater Crab
Never grind freshwater crabs in a blender. Not only will it damage the blades due to their hard shells, but it can also cause blade slippage, leading to electrical hazards. The consequence could be ruining the product or even causing complete breakdown.
To ensure safety when preparing freshwater crabs, stick to the traditional method using mortar, pestle, and sieve.
5. Dried Fruits
While it's still possible to blend them, it's advisable to limit their use or soften the dried fruits before blending. Dried fruits tend to stick and can adversely affect the blender blades.
6. Potatoes
The starch in potatoes is very sticky, which not only damages the blades but also poses a risk of electrical hazards and fires due to the inability of the blades to rotate. You should use high-capacity blenders to process this type of food.
7. Hot Porridge, Soup
Many mothers often blend hot porridge or liquid food for their children using a blender. This is a misuse and should be avoided. Hot porridge or soup increases pressure, and the fast rotation of the blades can cause splattering, leading to burns.
Additionally, it depletes vitamins. Let these types of food cool for about 10-15 minutes before putting them into the blender. Use a clean cloth over the lid to ensure safety. Avoid overfilling and blend with a moderate amount.
Moreover, if possible, consider buying a handheld blender as they provide maximum safety by being able to blend liquid foods.
Here are some recommendations for using food with a blender, hoping to bring many useful and interesting insights into the household chores of mothers.
