Blender pitchers with non removable blades. One piece blender pitchers, blenders with non removable blades, are generally seen as more difficult to clean. However, it really depends what you blend with your blender, and if you clean them straight after using them. If you only occasionally make for example peanut butter then this might not be too much of a concern for you. By the way most of the powerful blenders usually come with one piece pitchers. If the blender's pitcher is wide enough it is fairly easy to reach the bottom with a brush or by hand with a sponge. Narrow pitchers might be a bit more cumbersome to clean only by hand. If you did use your blender to make peanut butter or you did clean it straight after its use, try the following before attempting to clean your blender's pitcher by hand. Fill your pitcher ¼ full with warm water, add a few drops of detergent, place back onto the blender base, place the lid back on, and start your blender and run for ...

The electric blender, as we know it today, was invented in 1919 by Stephen Poplawski, owner of Stevens Electric Company. By 1922, after continuing to refine his invention, Poplawski patented the blender and began selling it through his company, the Stevens Electric Company, as a "drink mixer". This device was sold primarily to drugstore soda fountains to make milkshakes and malts. The Stevens Electric Company was bought by Oster Manufacturing in 1946 and Oster was purchased by Sunbeam products in 1960. Sunbeam Products is still in existence today, so you can still buy a direct descendant of the original blender! A few years after Poplawski's blender was introduced, in 1935, Fred Osius (who was also involved in founding the Hamilton Beach Company) developed his own blender and with funding from Fred Waring. A few years later the "Miracle Mixer" was produced and sold by Waring Products for household use. This appliance was known as the Waring Blendor (not...

Our bodies change as we age, therefore it is very helpful to be aware of what to pay attention to when buying a blender for a senior citizen. This can make a huge difference to the individual and their use of the blender. The right blender will be used more frequently and enrich the seniors' culinary experience. These are the key things to be aware of and to take in consideration when buying a blender for an elderly person. Light pitcher with good grip As seniors get older they loose strength in their forearms so it is very helpful if they have a blender pitcher that is light weight and ideally one with a good grip. This becomes even more important when the pitcher is full, especially if the content is hot, e.g., hot soup. Glass might be preferable by many but it is much heavier and if it does tip over or drops it is more likely to brake. Hopefully not landing on someone's toe or feet, such unnecessary accidents can be avoided. Easy to use and read controls...

Stones, bricks and cement blocks are among the most popularly used materials for building different structures. Marbles and granites are also popularly used for making tiles which are used to decorate bathrooms and kitchens. These materials are also able to provide an attractive finish to kitchens and bathrooms. Among the reasons for the popularity of these materials is because they can last for a long time with minimal maintenance. However, cutting these materials is not as easy as cutting a pie. You can't use wood saws because they would lose their blades even before you cut half of these materials. Using hammers and other building tools may tend to break these materials into unusable pieces. Fortunately, there is something you can use to grind through these hard but fragile materials; and this tool is commonly called a diamond blade. This is usually attached to masonry saws; which are electrical devices specially made for grinding through marbles, granites, ceme...

Oh no... not dirty kitchen! I have come across many people worried about their utensils and heavy appliances in their commercial kitchen set-ups, as they are unable to keep track of a cleaning schedule that is pertinent for such kitchens. It is especially true for most of the units during the rush period, especially at the end of the year, especially in India when all festivities and celebrations are lined up one after another.
