<\/span>Using a mixer Grinder: Do in the right way<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are some certain benefits and drawbacks of a mixer grinder<\/a><\/strong>. If you are a first-time user or want to improve your mixing and grinding skill, you must learn to use it efficiently with proper safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Before you start, select a suitable location where the operation is to be done. The place has to be free of obstacles and a power source should be nearby it. Make sure the cable does not stay under tension.<\/li>
  2. Arrange all the essentials including the mixer grinder, blades, containers, and all other materials in one place from where you can easily handle all these.<\/li>
  3. Generally, 3 types of blades come with it- one each for soft, hard, and dry materials. Attach the suitable blade to the mixing jar and fit it on the mixer. Know details about different types of blades<\/a> of mixer grinders.<\/li>
  4. Put the necessary raw materials inside and make sure it stays above the blade height for efficient performance.<\/li>
  5. Cover up the jar with the lid given with the mixing jar.<\/li>
  6. Next, plug in the cord of the mixer to the power source and switch it on. The switch of the plug point should be near to your hands so that in any case of emergency, you can shut it down.<\/li>
  7. Select the lowest speed from the dial on the mixer from the “off” position. As soon as you move the dial, the mixer will start rotating its blade. We recommend holding the lid of the container with the left hand (if you are a right-handed person) and free up the right hand to operate the mixer.<\/li>
  8. Depending on your recipe, gradually speed up the rotation and take a break after every 5 minutes by moving the knob to the starting position. It will help the high-speed motor to cool down and run efficiently. During this off-state, you may like to remove the lid and check the situation. But do not take out the container and never put your fingers closer to the blades to avoid an accident.<\/li>
  9. Once the task is completed, rotate the knob again to zero-position. But do not remove the container from the top of the mixie yet as a safety precaution.<\/li>
  10. Next, switch the mixer grinder off from the switchboard and draw out the plug of the cable. At this time take out the container from the mixie and enjoy it.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The uses of a mixer grinder are really wide in the context of Indian food habits. Starting from powdering herbs and spices, it can be effectively used in making pastes, batter, juice, chutney, and even keema. You just need to know how to do it in the right way.
