Here is how to make a mess with your blender!
- Fill your blender to the top. Get your video camera. Turn camera on and film blender when you turn it on. Send the video to us, thanks.
- If your going to use the lid, make sure its loose.
- Insert a spatula or spoon into the blender while its blending. Start moving the object down towards the moving blades. Invite your friends over before you do this one. Its a gas.
Want to take a quick trip to the hospital?
- Chop food while your distracted.
- Hold the knife loosely in your hand and wave it around.
- Pick up a knife. Now scratch you nose.
- Please see the canonical guide to blowing things up with your Microwave.
- If its got moving parts, put your hand in the machine while its on.
- If your lucky enough to start a grease fire, put it out with water.
- Don't check to see if your gas flame is on. Keep all the windows open in the kitchen, especailly if you are simmering and there is a godd breeeze!
How not to substitue
