What you need

All you need for this Thermomix deep clean technique is:

Egg shells
Lemon skins or leftover lemons
Water

There is no specific number of lemon skins or egg shells required - just enough to cover the blades. 3-4 of each is ideal.

How to do it

To clean your bowl with lemons and egg shells, just drop them into the bowl. You just need enough to cover the blades.

Next chop them up - 10 seconds / speed 8. They will look like this:

Then scrape down the bowl and pour in enough water to cover the blades. Set the timer for 30 minutes / 50 degrees / speed 1.

That's it! Empty out your contents and thoroughly rinse the bowl and it should look like new!
