How To Clean Your Almond Cow
Instructions
- While the machine is still wet, unscrew the filter basket by twisting it in the opposite direction of the arrow stamped at the top (twist clockwise).
- Remove the pulp from the filter basket; this makes for excellent compost, but an even better recipe ingredient! We have a number of pulp recipes on our site, such as almond pulp granola, chocolate chip cookies, and more.
- Be sure to rinse the filter basket thoroughly. If nut pulp is allowed to dry in the filter basket, it can clog the filter pores and will need to be soaked and/or scrubbed with a dish brush. If you end up needing to soak your filter basket, fill the collector cup with a vinegar solution of 2 tbsp vinegar and 2 cups (500ml) of water then set the filter basket inside; make sure the pores are fully submerged! Allow to soak overnight, then scrub with water and a sponge or dish brush the next day.
- Give the base a good rinse with warm water, and soap if necessary.
- If you used the collector cup, be sure to wash it as well. Once everything is cleaned up, you may hand dry it and put it away, or just leave it to air dry.
