Whether you want to make a cup of nutritious smoothie or mixed juice, or prepare side food for babies, it is very convenient to have a juice machine, but afterwards, there will be a lot of food slags that need to be cleaned. Simply Recipes reported to Adam Wilson, a senior manager of cooking education at juice machine brand Vitamix, to share the correct way to clean juice machines.
Wilson said that first, use flowing water to blow away the sticky food on the juice machine. Warm water is usually the best way to remove the slag from the wall of the cup. Some people may want to wash it with hot water, but using warm water will not damage the machine. Then pour half of the water, drip a few drops of dishwashing serum and put it on the cover. Remember not to add too much dishwashing serum. The juicer is powerful enough to mix a small amount of dishwashing serum into a large amount of foam.
Some juice machines have automatic cleaning mode, but if this function is not available, start the machine at the lowest speed, slowly accelerate the stirring for 30 seconds, or turn to the mixing cup full of foam. Then use fluid water to clean the cleaning agent and dry the baking cooling rack or bowl rack placed on the towel completely.
Put the juicer cup into the dishwasher and clean it up for a good time, but it is best not to risk it. High temperature will damage the machine components, especially with old models. However, Vitamix's classic and latest juice machine mixer cups can be washed with a dishwasher. It is recommended that you check the maintenance of your own juice machine before putting it in the dishwasher.
Wilson said that certain herbs and spices such as ginger, curry, cloves, cinnamon and red flowers contain oil that will dye the juicer. It is recommended to pour in an equal amount of water and white vinegar at this time, soak the mixing cup upright in the white vinegar solution for hours, then pour out the solution, and use a soft-wool wash brush to clean the inside of the mixing cup, and be careful when cleaning the blade. Note that it is possible to wash repeatedly to clean and clean. The film on the juice machine is just a pile of fruit and vegetable fibers and minerals, so there is no need to worry. If you care, you can use the above method to clean it.
Wilson said that cleaning the juicer immediately after use will be easier, but some food residues can be used well and do not have to be washed away immediately with water and dishwashing essence. For example, the remaining fruit cream can be made into a soup, which not only cleanses the grease in the mixing cup, but also adds flavor to the vegetables.
