Question
Regarding the question about the blender, why can't we simply take the blender stick entirely and immerse it when it is connected only by the blade, immersing only the blade in water, so the stick doesn't touch and there's no risk of damage, and the blade is immersed.
Answer
Hello
If there is a main part of the utensil that requires immersion, the entire utensil must be immersed. Therefore, since the blade requires immersion, it is necessary to immerse the entire part.
