A Brief History of the Kitchen Blender

The invention of the blender is often credited to Stephen Poplawski, owner of the Stevens Electric Company, who began designing blenders in . Poplawski is credited to have placed a spinning blade at the bottom of a container, but his early blender was mostly utilized to create soda-fountain beverages. It wasn't until that a man named Fred Osius improved upon Poplawski's idea, creating the blender as we know it today. This, the Waring blender was born.

However, as early as , Louis Hamilton, Chester Beach, and Frederick Osius had already developed a small motor that ran on either AC or DC electrical power, and that same year the Hamilton Beach Company was founded to spearhead the the development of motor-driven appliances. Innovations within the company resulted in the creation of the Hamilton Beach blender. 

Today, blenders are used for a wide variety of tasks. Commercial/industrial blenders are designed for heavy-duty use and include most kitchen and bar blenders utilized in restaurants. For those looking for a simple blender for home use and not those heavy-duty blenders, there are a lot of simple, effective, but cheap blenders that are also durable enough to be used at home.

How Do Commercial Blenders Work?

To understand how our humble kitchen blender works, we need to look at the components, which are pretty basic and are somewhat uniform regardless of brand, type, and model. These components include th following: housing, blade, jar, gasket or seal ring, jar base or jar nut, and lid.

The base of the blender is where the motor is housed and where the all-important blade juts out. The blender's base is also the location of the controls for the blending process. In most blenders, the blade is permanently attached to the base. In the case of the gasket, which mostly prevents leaking, it is usually a separate piece that can be attached to the blender, as with the jar and lid.

Imagine a bar blender used to prepare a cocktail. You add the ice, liquor, mixer, and maybe some fruit to the blender jar, you attach it to the blender base, and then you push a button or flip a lever. The motor of the blender begins to turn, spinning the blade. The whirring motion creates the necessary vortex to pull the ingredients into the center of the blender's blade, crushing/liquifying them. This, in a nutshell, is how a blender works. 

The Proper Way to Clean an Electric Blender

To make sure that your kitchen blender or bar blender is always in perfect working condition, you must make the necessary steps to properly clean it. Although a commercial blender or industrial blender works at least twice as hard as an ordinary home blender or mini blender, the proper cleaning process is fairly uniform across blender types.

So how should you clean your blender? First, you will want to take the blender apart by removing the base and the lid, then unscrewing the gasket and blade. Next, wash the jar, lid, gasket, blade, and seal ring by using warm water mixed with dish-washing soap. Make sure to take extra precaution on washing the blade because of its sharp edges. You can then proceed to dry all the components of the blender that you just washed. When dry, reassemble the blender and use as needed.
