How-To Overview
The wiki below is a simple and effective way to clean your blender after its been left to sit with caked-on food. The focus is on cleaning within and around the blades at the bottom of the blender without cutting your fingers or your sponge. (Most dishwashers will not clean the far interior of a blender.) The following technique is particularly useful when dealing with oily sauces (for example: pesto sauce) or shakes containing yogurt or raw, small-seeded fruit.

Step-By-Step Description
