Does blade gets sharper if you grind ice?
For instance, when food processor's blade gets dull, some people put ice and blend it to sharpen the blade. Is it true?
Answers:
I use ice to sharpen my food disposer blades...it works..
doubt it - I think that would dull the blade more.
I don't think so... I mean when skates grind ice, it makes them more dull. So common sense would say that it doesn't.
it would make it duller
I've tried that. I dont really see any difference. However, the area of the blade that is closer to the handle seemed to cut better than the area farthest away. I tested this by laying the knife on a bar of butter and pushing it down slightly. The edge closer to the handle cut easier...but maybe thats because its closer to the handle, and it would have something to do with energy transfering or something
Can I crush ice-cubes with my food processor?
No, very hard items can spoil your blades. Crush ice the natural way or use an ice-crusher.
No, if that was true you would never have to sharpen ice skates!
Don't think ice can sharpen or dull processor blades,when i bought my processor,many years ago ,i was told that the steel could not be dulled by ice,lemonade was the drink demonstrated to customers.Over the years I have found this to be true.
yeh, i think it does work like that, i put ice into mi blender and the blades were sharper next time when i put like strawberries in.. =)
