Nice tip for the spice grinder 👍🏻
Don't put dish soap in a high-power blender (Blendtec; Vitamix) and blend for 30 seconds. I added one drop of dish soap to half a blender jar of hot water, and it exploded after 10 seconds.
More easy cleaning videos, please.
I assumed everyone knew this… or had thought of it…
I use a moist towel in the coffee grinder (while unplugged), then let it dry. That method does not eliminate smell, though.
Awesome tips!!! Thank you 🙌🏻🤩😲
Thank for great tips
Does anyone know how to clean vegetable peelers? Especially julienne peelers?

What's up with his mouth? Not trying to be an ass…just curious
Effective and practical tips. Thank you!
hi test kitchen make a video comparing pepper mill
would've been cool if you guys filmed these tips in action
The microwave method can be dangerous if you don't wait the five minutes. The water can become whats called a superheated liquid. Just bumping it can cause it to rapidly boil, explode into steam and burn someone.
Helpful tips! Thanks!
I'm curious though with the blender, doesn't stuff get stuck under the gasket?
That blender idea
Right to the point, this is how videos on tips should be.
sick tips dan
These are fn garbage tips. That doesn’t clean your blender… wow guys really, did you actually test the rice trick…
This is what America's Test Kitchen is about. Stop with the over-enthusiastic tv bs.
The microwave steam trick is so obvious, I'm mad at myself for not thinking of it myself.
Easier solution to spice grinders: have two. One for sweet spices that don't overpower, the other for big flavors. So Ceylon cinnamon and flax goes in the sweet, cumin, fenugreek, and any peppers goes in the other.
This is just bad advice… I'm surprised, ATK. I've tried the rice "trick" and it just leaves white rice residue in the grinder. Did you actually test this???
The best way to clean all these things are to hire interns! lol
You guys are BRILLIANT!
I put shredded pieces of paper towel in my spice grinder and pulse it a few times. Then just dump out the paper shreds and give it a quick wipe. Turns out spotless every time and cleans out flavor residue
Brilliant
