Electric mixers are huge time savers in the kitchen. They can fold ingredients together, whip up stiff batters and even create beautiful meringue for the tops of pies and tarts. However, if you do not clean your electric mixer properly, you may end up with old, bad food whipped in with your tasty new goodies. Not to mention that the wear and tear on the mixer can cause the machine to break before it should. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Fill the mixing bowl with warm water. Do not fill it to the brim, but fill it about two-thirds full.
2. Add a few squirts of dish soap. This does not have to be a precise measurement, just use about the same as you use when you hand wash dishes.
3. Run the mixer in the warm, soapy water. As you beat the water, soap suds will form and the agitation will force any food particles off of the beaters.
4. Refill the bowl with clean warm water. Run the beaters through this water, as well, until all soap residue is gone. If necessary, you can remove them from the machine and simply hand rinse them under flowing water in the sink.
5. Wipe down the mixing machinery. Use a paper towel dampened with cleaning fluid to wipe down the handhold part of the mixer. Scrub it with the paper towel just as you would any other appliance to make sure that there are no smears or food stains on the appliance.
6. Let everything air dry for several hours. All the pieces can sit in the dish drainer while they dry.
