While enjoying the convenience and deliciousness brought by electric barbecue machines, we cannot ignore the maintenance and cleaning work of their core components – stainless steel blades. A clean and sharp blade can not only improve cooking efficiency, but also ensure the taste and safety of food. Today, let’s explore how to properly maintain and clean the blades of an electric barbecue machine.
1、 Regular cleaning: preventing rust and accumulation

- Disassembling the blade : Follow the instructions in the manual and carefully disassemble the blade to avoid scratching your fingers.
- Soaking and Brushing: Soak the blade in diluted vinegar or specialized cleaning agent, and the soaking time depends on the degree of dirt, usually about 30 minutes. Then gently brush with a soft brush to remove stubborn stains.
- Rinse and dry : Thoroughly rinse the blade with clean water to ensure there are no residual cleaning agents. Use a clean towel or tissue to dry the blade to avoid moisture retention. 3、 Maintenance and lubrication: prolonging blade life 1 Use specialized lubricating oil : Some electric barbecue machines recommend using specialized lubricating oil to reduce wear on the contact area between the blades and the machine. 2 Apply lubricating oil : According to the instructions in the manual, apply an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to the moving part of the blade 3 Regular inspection: During maintenance, check whether the blades are worn, deformed, or cracked. If there are any problems, replace them in a timely manner.
4、 Storage precautions: avoid damage and contamination 1 Use knife cover : After use, store the blade properly in the knife cover to prevent accidental scratches or contamination. 2 Storage Environment : Store the electric barbecue machine in a dry and ventilated place to avoid moisture and extreme temperature changes.
Through the above steps, we can not only ensure the hygiene and cleanliness of the electric barbecue machine blades, but also effectively extend their service life.
