But, these are definitely a no-go for blenders. You’ll not only get better results, but you’ll have less to clean up. Instead of using a blender for these foods, try using a stand or hand mixer. And, nobody wants to take a bite of that. Failing to mix your dough thoroughly can be a problem for baking, creating unpleasant floury lumps in whatever you’re trying to make. Instead, you’ll end up with a starchy disaster. You probably won’t get the fluffy, delicious results you want. This will just burn out the device, while increasing the risk of a fire or electrical hazard.Īs if that weren’t enough of a reason to avoid blending these foods, let’s be honest, this is a terrible way to make mashed potatoes. This is because foods that are too thick will cause the blender to work harder and overheat. If the foods are too dense, it may create an unsafe environment for others in the kitchen. It may be tempting just to drop one of these in a blender and let it do the work of dicing, stirring and mixing them for you, but this is the wrong tool for the job and will likely just damage the blender. Don’t let their cordial appearance fool you. Potatoes, dough, and other thick or gooey foods may, at first glance, seem completely blender-worthy. Keep your blender in top condition by not trying to give it something it can’t handle.
