Freakin' blender balls!



Recommended Posts

Is it just me, or do the blender balls tend to get caught on everything when washing them? I do absolutely nothing, and I find two blender balls wrapped up in each other or stuck in the dishwasher tines! I have one stuck in the dishwasher top rack that I haven't had the patience to detangle for months! Agggh! They need to come up with a better design!

Can't you just wash them by hand?

There are little baskets with lids you can buy to put small items in when washing them in the dishwasher. It would keep them from getting tossed around by the spray and caught on things. Maybe one of those would help?

I've used the words blender and balls in the same sentence but I'm pretty sure it wasn't in this context! What is a blender ball??

Lol.. The ball inside of a blender cup.

Instead of using a real blender, its a cup that you shake and the wire ball helps mix the powder..

Ahhhhh! Does it help reduce the air? My blender adds so much foam, it's painful.

Does your dishwasher have a basket-like contraption to hold silverware? The one in my dishwasher can open from the top--the part that holds the silverware lifts like a lid--and I just put the wire thingies in there and snap the lid shut before running the dishwasher. Mine looks something like this one:

In other news, "Freakin' Blender Balls!" is my new favorite almost-curse-word.

I just put some hot Water and a drop of Dawn in my cup, close the lid, and shake like mad with the ball inside. Rinse and put upside to dry.

My Blender Bottle is similar to this one and it foams a little bit. It seems to depend on how much empty space is in the bottle before I shake it. If there's not much Water in the cup (if I'm only blending 8 oz. instead of 12), it foams up a little more. The foam dissolves pretty quickly, though.

It definitely eliminates unmixed powder in my shakes.

What Aaron said, I just put some boiling hot Water in the bottle, a drop of soap, and shake-shake-shake, sparrkling clean. When I have used the dw machine it never seems to get into the rims etc and I'm left with crusty chocolate scum :/

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
