An electric countertop mixer is an indispensable appliance in the kitchen, making it easier to cook by blending ingredients quickly and efficiently. However, there are some things we need to pay attention to when using an electric countertop mixer to ensure safe and effective use.
First and foremost, safe operation is a basic requirement when using an electric countertop mixer. Before use, be sure to check whether the plug and power cord are intact to avoid electric shock accidents. At the same time, when plugging or unplugging the plug, be sure to turn off the power switch first to avoid accidents. In addition, in order to prevent the mixer from tipping or sliding during use, we should place it on a stable platform.
Secondly, we need to pay attention to the limitation of mixing capacity. Electric countertop mixers are usually equipped with containers of different capacities, and users should pay attention to the maximum capacity limit of the container when using them. Using the blender beyond the container capacity may result in spillage or damage to the machine. Therefore, the product manual should be read carefully and the container capacity limitations should be observed before use.
Third, the preparation of ingredients is also something you need to pay attention to before using an electric countertop mixer. Hard ingredients such as nuts, ice cubes, etc. should be cut into small pieces first to avoid damage to the blade and machine. In addition, ingredients with hard shells such as cores and peels should also be removed first to avoid damaging the blades and machine.
When using an electric countertop mixer, we also need to be careful about adding ingredients gradually. This ensures that the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and broken, and reduces the load on the machine. At the same time, adding ingredients gradually also avoids spills and ingredients clogging the blades.
In addition, we also need to control the mixing time according to the type and needs of the ingredients. Excessively long mixing time may cause the ingredients to be excessively broken or overheated, affecting the taste and quality of the food. Therefore, during use, appropriate mixing time control should be carried out as needed.
Finally, after using the electric countertop mixer, we need to clean and maintain it in time. First, disconnect the power and disassemble the blade and container, then wash them with warm water and detergent. Never immerse the entire machine in water for cleaning. The blade and container should be completely dry before reinstalling. In addition, regularly check the wear of the blades and the machine, and if necessary, promptly replace the blades or repair the machine.
