We all know of the countless features that a Thermomix serves us, it is a robot that has multiple functions to make our kitchen much easier. If you still like to get many more advantages from it, we offer you many of the virtues that we can still do with our robot.
To begin we will give you some brief tricks to be able to clean our glass more efficiently and effortlessly. It is very likely that making some kind of dough has been almost impossible for us clean the debris left between the blades. For this we are going to specify some details.
How to remove the dough from the glass with resolution and without leaving residues
When we make dough, many of it ends up very compact or have become too sticky. The problem is tedious when we decide to take it out of the glass and we don't want to put our hand in it because we don't cut ourselves with the blades.
There is a very simple trick so that we can extract the mass resolutely. we will capsize the glass upside down on a floured surface. We will take the bearing of the blades that are outside the glass and we will turn it from left to right several times. Next, we will observe how the mass falls alone. If there are remains on the blades, read the following tricks.
clean the blades
When you have made some type of dough or have worked with food that is stuck to the blades, there are some tricks to clean them with less effort:
- If you have worked with dough you can add it inside the glass and with the blades placed, some flour. You only have to program a few seconds to progressive speed from 5 to 10 seconds and watch the dough come off the blades and around the glass.
- If you can't get the dough to come off, you can always use a fine brush that you will have to handle between the blades to help loosen the food remains. If the dough is too hard, you can soften it by soaking the blades and then using the brush.
Clean the bowl and the blades with the prewash function
With the help and strength of our robot we can do a thorough cleaning. Fill the glass halfway warm water and add a few drops of detergent. Then we program 15 seconds at level 10. You will be surprised how easy it is to clean the glass with this function. If there are still remains of food between the blades, you can run the speed at two turbo strokes and then rinse.
Clean the machine outside
The inner part of the robot, where the glass rests can be cleaned without any problem. You can cover the area that heats the glass with a bit of cellophane and add water in the rest of the holes. Then with the help of a bent brush you can go over all the holes to remove the remains of dirt that have been impregnated. This area has a hole where any liquid that falls can be eliminated, so that it does not overflow and spoil our robot, so do not be afraid to pour a little water.
The button which we use to rotate and program the functions you can extract it. In this way you can clean all the food remains that have been left inside. It is not advisable to do it very often so as not to deteriorate its handling and grip.
remove bad odor
When stews with very characteristic odors are prepared, many times this smell permeates the glass and does not come off. If you have tried everything and you cannot eliminate it, you can try adding some coffee beans and programming speed 10 to grind. Then leave this ground coffee to rest overnight. The next morning take out the coffee and clean the glass as usual, you will notice that the smell has disappeared.
If the problem is in the rubber of the lid, you can put a little soap and vinegar and program a few seconds at level 6, then starts to pick up speed another few seconds. Lift the lid and remove the rubber. Submerge both parts for a few hours with the liquid that remained in the glass. After this time wash them and rinse with plenty of water. Take a good look at how the rubber is placed before removing it from the lid, it is essential to place it in the same way.
When the food has been burnt at the bottom of the glass
For these small incidents we can clean the glass more easily so as not to use the wire scouring pad with force.
- Place in the glass between 2 liters of water or 1,5 liters, depending on what it supports.
- We immerse 1 dishwasher detergent tablet because that way it doesn't produce too much foam.
- We program 20 minutes, temperature 90° and speed.
- Finished we can rinse the glass, remove possible remains with the wire scourer and rinse.
When we find the glass tarnished and dull
We pour a glass of water into the glass and add wine or apple cider vinegar We program 10-15 minutes at 37° and speed 3. Then we rinse the glass.
