Home cooks have discovered the ‘correct’ way to use a blender – and it all comes down to the order you add your ingredients.
By starting with the dry ingredients, you will likely end up with clumps of powder or oats stuck to the base of the blender or under the blades of the base.
For the fastest, smoothest blend, you need to add ingredients to the container in this order: liquids, powders, solids, and frozen.

‘Pouring liquids in first allows the blades to move easily when you turn the machine on Tess Masters, the US cookbook author of The Blender Girl, told Eat This, Not That!
‘Add powdered ingredients next so they don’t stick to the lid, then pile on soft foods, like bananas and cucumbers, followed by hard foods, such as frozen fruits and raw vegetables.’
She said the last item you put into the blender should be the heaviest out of all ingredients like ice as it helps push the lighter ingredients down toward the blade.

Her tips come just weeks after a woman named Jessica shared a ‘game changing’ trick for cleaning a blender in just seconds without the hassle of taking every piece apart.
She shared a TikTok video, which has since raked up more than 6.3 million views, showing how she cleaned the gadget by filling the blender with warm water, followed by a few drops of dishwashing liquid.
After fastening the lid onto the blender, she simply used the blending function on high speed to swirl the water and soap around to clean it.
‘I was today years old when I discovered this life hack,’ Jessica said.
Running the machine on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds would allow the soapy water to swirl around to remove the remnants of a smoothie, soup, or purée. Once done, simply give the blender a quick rinse and drain the container.
And while the cleaning method seems obvious to most people, many admitted they never thought about the hack themselves.
‘If I have one regret in life, it’s washing my damn blender the wrong way,’ one wrote.
