Easy Cleanup
To quickly clean your blender, fill the container half full with hot water. Add a few drops of liquid dish soap. Blend on high speed 30 sec. Pour wash water out, then rinse with fresh hot water.
How to Prepare Leeks
Leeks are grown in sandy soil and must be washed well before using. To prepare leeks, trim the roots and remove the dark green portions. Only the white portion of the leek is used. Chop or slice the white sections, then rinse in water to remove any soil or sand.
