Cleaning Your Blender

We all know it's a little difficult to clean your blender with those sharp blades in the way, right?   Well, here's an easy tip!
 
Fill the blender half full of hot water and add a drop of detergent. I also add the juice of half a lemon.
Cover and turn the blender on high for a few seconds. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and drain dry.
 
Also, most blenders have the bottom portion that screws off. If so, simply remove and separate parts and toss in the dish washer.
