what do you do when a carrot stuck up in a blender? can't use it anymore.
Wash it.
I did already, to no avail. my blender is the old fashion type no auto reverse or button for washing up, have to do it manually.:
Try pouring in boiling water so it softens and hopefully comes out.
I don't understand where it could get stuck, isnt a blender just a jug with blades that you can take apart to wash anywya?
Because I am a woman of many talents I have managed to get bits of carrot and apple stuck in between the plasticy bit and the blade. And because I am a delicate little flower I have gone at it with a fork/knife/skewer until the bit either fell out or was so finely diced that it could of been used as a relish.
are you sure the blade doesn't screw out??
Not all blenders have detachable blades.:
I didn't mean the bades, I meant you take the jug off the motor to wash.
Still don't understand where it is stuck though
I don't even own a blender so really have no idea what I'm actually talking about anyway
Chop ice. It will clean between the blades. Even if the blender doesn't chop ice well.
Yes its not detachable. some says the water is not enough when i juice that's why food gets stuck up..next time i want detachable blades:
Did you try the ice. It's fail proof.
I bought it pretty cheap for only $50 and when we blend food particularly carrots it sticks to the sides so we have to stop the blender a lot of times to push the food back down so that blades hit it.the last time i used it, the food was pushed backed too much causing the blade to stop rotating. Is this common, or a more expensive blender would solve my problem?:
it won't rotate anymore. isn't ice is harder than carrots? we're thinking the problem is in the motor already, lesson here i guess, buy a known, tested brand :)):
If it won't move then there's nothing you can do. It's not going to fix itself getting the carrot out. It's broken.
Good for you :) I don't know with my blender whether i minced the food or cut it big, food sticks to the side and blades..:
I think it is, what blender can you suggest?:
I think a quick google will show you so many different options available to you. Best work out what kind of price bracket you can afford and also what features are important to you.:
There are some good 'review' type websites out there too.
Good luck.
If you wish to "juice" then one would suggest a juicer to be the most appropriate.
Blenders aren't really a tool of choice for raw vegetables, such as carrots. A food processor would be what one would require.
:
The vitamix is an incredible blender that you can make juice from as well... but the starting price is about $890!!
However, given the OP has expressed an earlier blender purchase was only $50, and didn't even have detachable blades, I went ahead and made the assumption that a semi-professional machine was not on the cards.:
True That!:
I see, it makes sense i think i need a juicer not a blender, as most people use blenders to make fruit juices and a lot of juicers available around its confusing to choose which is better, there are high speed, masticating juicers and twin gears to choose from.:
Hi, i ended up buying LifeSpring Slow Juicer LS 8000 its a little less than vitamix. But im satisfied and happy about it, it juices fast and easy to clean :):
