Deep Cleaning the Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker - Where the Gunk Hides
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- Because of the design of the Ninja Creami ice cream maker, ice cream can get into some unexpected and hard to clean places. I thought we had been doing a decent job cleaning our Creami, until I started smelling something kinda funky in the kitchen.
In this video, I show how the Creami actually works, take you through the places where ice cream can get and demonstrate how to give your Creami a deep cleaning. Once you know how to deep clean your Creami, you can add a few brief steps to your regular cleaning to keep it nice and tidy.

I don't have a Ninja Creami, but I love a man who cleans!
Victory 😉
He cooks too!
Indeed! I once read an article titled, "The Sexiest Man Alive Washes The Dishes". An article to bring women (and men) back to reality, that your husband is not Brad Pitt, but he's sexy cause he does the dishes. Can't remember if the article was in a local newspaper or just where I read it?
That gasket wasn't cleaned at all. I wash mine after each use, as well as the lid and blade. No deep cleaning needed or bad odors if you follow this pattern.
Great info. These Creami machines are pretty durable, if you take care of them. I’ve used mine twice a day, 365 days a year, for 16 months. Still going strong! Listen to Steve & clean your Creami, people. It works! 😃
Wow! You're definitely getting some mileage out of yours. 👍
I'll bet it's all about how well you take care of your machine.
not complaining but actually providing solutions. cheers mate, keep up the good work!
Thanks for demonstrating the cleaning of all those little places where product can collect.
As usual, most helpful sir. I remember two things from your original review of this machine: how loud it is and the need to clean the auger / drill press shaft. From an OCD person, these tips are appreciated.
Very timely video! I bought a Ninja Creami recently and have been using it a lot. I never thought to give it a deep clean like this, but I will start now. Thank you! :)
Found that a spray of water with a bit of vinegar and good wipe down also helps...Thanks!
Thank you for your video. I just made ice cream for the first time in my new Ninja Creami and your video help me so much cleaning my machine.
Great video! We I used to work with a Paco Jet when I was a pastry chef and the Creami is the homemade version at its finest. We used to do this with the Paco Jet. Super important for longevity of your machine. Thanks for shooting this!
There are bundles for small and tiny brushes. While watching I thought some of the larger brushes would fit better. I actually just bought 2 sets for myself. One set of white for kitchen and appliance cleaning and one in black for household cleaning. You can pick them up pretty cheap. Thanks for the video. The husband and I are debating getting an ice cream maker , we will keep your recommendation in mind. Thank you so much for the video!!
Steve, thank you. Will need to do this. Have a great week.
Thanks SOOOOOH much for this. Just bought mine and used your advice. Perfection.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for this video! It never occurred to me to clean it this way! Fantastic!
Excellent overview of deep cleaning my new deluxe creami! The brushes that come with glass straws like you used are so handy in small crevices! Your lemon sorbet is on my list of must try recipes. 👍🏻
Thank you Steve , I returned a creami breeze because it stunk so bad and could not get the odor to go away. I bought another creami. (Not the deluxe) and loving it. I watched your video and went right out to the kitchen and cleaned my creami.
Thank you for all your videos. I really appreciate your videos.
Glad I could help. 🙂
Clever. I'll work on it this weekend. Thanks, Steve.
Thanks for all your hard work for your channel!
Thank you, Steve. Not being able to do a thorough cleaning has always been my main concern with my Creami. This video is going to help!
Thanks, Steve. I thought I was doing a good job of cleaning my Creami, but there are definitely some areas I didn't even know existed!
And I don't recall seeing anything in the manual about how to properly clean the Creami, so I think that a couple of these areas could be easy to overlook.
@@SeriousKeto No mention of the gasket removal in my instructions (And to be honest I was afraid I might ruin it by removing it repeatedly) but after seeing you do it, so did I, and EEEEW that smell!
I like the way you used just water to rinse the auger- Awesomeness-and again, no mention in their instructions)
Safe and happy travels!
Thanks, Steve, for another great video.
Omg i loved the part where you were searching for the bad smell 😂...that just happened to me last night when went to make my Creami ice cream. Very timely video😊
wow, great video. I really needed this Video!!!!
Great how to video...Thanks Steve
Thanks Steve. I need to do this .
Thanks, Steve.
Of all the machines I’ve ever bought I think this one is a miracle. It turns flavored protein powder and any form of milk like plant or Fairlife into a Hagen das type ice cream. I adore it. Also I have the Breeze which is easier to use and clean. Thanks for your channel! Well. Worth the $200.
I never thought of doing that! I even have protein powder that is called "chocolate milkshake," so it makes sense. Thank you for a great idea. (And thank you to the video creator for the good idea on how to get rid of the gunk inside the lid, which is what brought me to this video.)
Love that Colton!
Creami cleaning legend ❤ thank you😊
Thank you so much for this video! I never thought to remove the gasket or put water in it and run it. I have been struggling to clean it and this will make it so much easier.
Glad it helped!
Binge watching Serious Keto! Love this channel!
I 100% approve of binge watching. 😉
Great information! The only thing I also have to do occasionally is use a toothpick if any crud is stuck at the plastic circular crease when the blade arm is retracted. Definitely needs a cleaning cycle that can pause when the arm is extended!
Thank you kind sir😊
I do remove the seals after every spin and i have wanted to do the water to clean the auger but didn’t know if it would work. Thanks for this video.
I just ordered the Creami Deluxe and waiting for delivery. This video was right in time and awesome. I will be making a lot of Keto Chow ice cream as well as regular. Ice cream has always been my diet downfall but now I will be able to really enjoy it on my Keto journey.
Last night, my grandson wanted the birthday cake flavor of Keto Chow for ice cream. I find it terribly sweet, so we sprinkled on on some Flavor God pumpkin pie seasoning and we both though that was pretty wonderful. I hope you enjoy playing around with different flavors as much as we have.
With the Deluxe model you get a "milkshake" setting. I'll bet that is a better choice for cleaning mode since it is meant to handle liquids.
I found your channel years ago when you posted a cleaning video of your Dash single waffle maker. Still following even tho I’m not Keto. I just enjoy your videos!😊
Glad to have you here. 😊
Thank you Steve. Now I'm fine to have clean my Creami
Good info. Now I have to go clean it. I had no idea that rubber gasket came off.
Had no idea this Ninja Creami could hide so much grime. Did a much better job of cleaning that sucker after watching this vid. Thanks heaps Steve :)
I needed this. I just started to smell that smell
Thanks so much! This was great information! Ninja didn’t do a great job with info about cleaning and maintenance.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I bought a creamie last year and I've been wondering how to do this ...especially cleaning the crank shaft.
Another good one. Aloha, Steve!!
Thanks!
Thank you. 🙂
Love the shirt!! 😁
I remove the lid's gasket and submerge/soak them in vinegar and hot water solution. Then I fill my Water Pik with plain warm water, turn it on high, and place the nozzle up against the lid's various external holes and crevices. It injects a pulsing water jet at speeds high enough to dislodge everything. You're welcome.
And for the people without a Water Pik? You're welcome.
I wipe the auger with a damp cloth after every use. Nothing remains on it. If the gasket is a little difficult to reposition because it seems stretched, a few minutes in the freezer remedies that.
Miriam didn’t know about taking that gasket out till I told her. True story.
This is a great video! Ninja should pay you for this!
I would accept that payment. 🙂
i’ve had so much trouble with this! thank you SO much for the tips. i use this daily and there are so much residue in the middle of the blade and in the middle of the topper. it stinks and takes often i give up getting the little spots out because i can’t wash it more than 10 minutes lol. going to by the tool tomorrow !
glad I could help.
You learn something new every day...I learned today that my Creami is disgusting.🤢
I didn't know that gasket popped out. lol
I guess that's why you should read your owners manual!😮
I recently learned it too. But still haven't popped it out.
Iam watching and eating with you guys!
OK Steve, you just HAD to remind me to clean my Keurig. 🤣 But seriously, that was a good video to remind people to clean their appliances. And I expect to see Colton on America's Got Talent one of these years. 😘
He’s pretty much the best thing to ever happen to me, so I’m glad you’re enjoying him.
Oh, you can remove the gasket! I didn't know. I feel really dumb now. I wash it on the dishwasher every now and then, but I didn't know.
I like your strategy to make he axel from the machine clean, though.
If you get alot of hard gunk on the metal bit, take a cloth and cover it in vinegar and soak it . itll come right off.
But wipe after every use.
Thank you. I thought I was cleaning mine good until I saw this.
I don’t have a ninja creami, but I sure do love a man who cleans. I am fortunate to have one. I cook he cleans, and I love it. He’s such a sweetheart. His name is Rebel, but he’s not a rebel other than that he cleans. 😊 lol.
If you have one, you are BLESSED because this thing sells out QUICKLY! I have the origina and then wanted to get the Breeze. The Breeze sold out in a DAY! everywhere!....Believe me it is worth it if you have a sensitive stomach or are watching the ingredients that go into what you eat these days. I have am getting older and my stomach has been getting bloated, gasy and painful due to some of these unknown ingredients in foods these days. So knowing exactly what is going into my ice cream is a life saver for me. I make my ice cream out of homemade nut milk and I make cold delicious sorbets just out of fruit.
I’ve been trying to figure out if you can actually remove the very top of the lid that holds the blade as like he pretty much said, it’s a compartment that does get gunk in it and only a tiny scrubber (he did show cleaning with a tiny scrubber) can get to.
This is a very useful video though because I didn’t give any thought to removing the rubber seal so thank you for making this 😊
Would love to see how you clean the blade in the ninja grill. I have the ninja foodi pressure cooker/air fryer but I think they would be similar.
Thanks, great topic!
I have not tried that. I’ve found the only thing that cleans the mesh filter is Heavy Duty Easy Off. Though on should remove the filter first, set it on an old towel, and spray it outdoors if you care about your lungs.
A water pick/water flosser might get to some of the tough spots....😮
This is a great video... Steve did you happen to see the new thing from Effin Good Cookies? It is the splash landing on their site. It looks pretty Effin good.... Have a great weekend steve.
I haven't seen it, but will check it out.
Thanks for the video. But I consider Kathy Hester the guru of the Ninja creamy and she has pointed out numerous times that sticking anything inside the grooves of the lid where are there little teeny tiny springs, kind of like you put in your drink straw, can ruin the springs and cause them to pop out that's making your lid worthless. I'm not going to be sticking any brushes in mileage but thanks for the rest of the video
I throw mine onto the top shelf of my dishwasher. My dishwasher doesn't have a heating element (Bosch), and it hasn't caused any issues at all. I have to say though, I didn't know that gasket pops out!
Glad I could help. 🙂
I don't have a ninja creamy either.I love the ninja products however and I do have the Ninja blender and while it does take a couple of times to blend it it will be just as creamy as I believe what you get from the ninja creamy. Bit yes it is nice to see a man who will cleans.😂
Share your recipe for mint chocolate ice cream please!
I wonder if people send you random tee shirts or do you get them from places you go to? I love seeing what tee you have on in your videos!
Most come from 6dolkarshirts.com.
How does one put the gasket back on? Everyone skips over that and mine has a hump in it that needs to go somewhere.
I don't have a Creami but glad to see you're all OK. I believe there was a plan to be on Maui this month?
In about 10 days
Nice to know if our Kitchen Aid ice cream freezer ever breaks down. A question, do you have to use a powder or can I make our family’s Lemon sherbet? Thanks Steve, always appreciate your videos.
Any ice cream recipe (sherbet, gelato, etc) should work.
You have a radio voice.
I had to use a nut picker to remove the gunk from the "auger" part of my creami breeze. It's to hard to get out the gasket on the breeze model. What's your professional opinion about applying a light coat of petroleum jelly on the auger part (kind of like they do to ice cream machines at restaurants).
It’s not harmful and I doubt that it would have any noticeable impact on the ice cream itself.
I have the same problem with my Ninja Nutribullet. If I use cream or cream cheese in it, it gets under the gasket and I have a hard time getting the gasket out to clean under it because of the tight fit..💋🧚🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
Makes you wonder why they design it that way...
They should sell a cleaning kit
Do Ninja say it’s safe to run it with straight water like that? I am pretty nervous about doing anything with it that voids the warranty if it’s not how they advise cleaning it
There is no warning against it. I'm pretty sure the Creami has a smoothie setting, so I don't believe there is an issue exposing the spin rod to liquid. I’d recommend using the mix-in setting,as it spins more slowly.
I got some frozen yogurt up in the hole where the drill goes on the deluxe upon it retracting. How do I get that out? And is it dangerous? Will it get out on my next run when the drill goes down you think? It naturally got up there when it was done with my second re-spin that had made the frozen yogurt really creamy, this making some of it go up with the drill. I did try and get a cloth up there, but the gap is just way too small! I've only had my deluxe for a week as it JUST came to Europe. I see crews, but I tdon't wanna take it apart.
I can’t help you with that. Sorry.
I wanted to get the deluxe Creami, since they advertised it with better cleanability. Would you say that is the case and worth the extra money for the deluxe, or should I just go and get the original Creami instead (they are heavily discounted in europe currently)
Wouldn’t it be an easier if you ran the soap and water “cycle” after each use before that milk dries and gets hard and sticky?
When do u go to Hawaii? Does the fires effect the wedding?
Next Wednesday, and probably.
Steve, did you not do one of your Monday Video Podcasts yesterday?
I did not. I'll probably record one today for release on Wednesday. It was a crazy weekend...
Steve. Hope you and family didn't get caught up in fires. Know your sons wedding booked for Maui. Send quick update please.
The Paddle, Pints, liter bowl and lid are all dishwasher safe. Just thought i’d let y’all know
I soak mine in bleach once every couple of weeks. But if you clean it after every use, its 2 mins vs alot longer. I've never found anything under my gasket either
Mines broke after a year :( not sure what's broken, but making grinding noise and blade keeps falling off, sometimes as soon as it hits ingredients, often at the bottom, been working fine till a few days ago. I'm hoping it's just the blade or the top cover misalignment something, waiting for a response from ninja.
Please keep us updated.
@SeriousKeto well for the price, not happy with ninja no help at all due to outside of warranty and no spare parts due to newer model replacing old model. Thankfully git it through amazon who have refunded me no hassle, going to have to buy the new model through ninja, wish there was an alternative as they were no help at all, but as far as I know other than professional brands it's ninja or nothing.
Amazon said 2 year warranty, ninja said 1 year warranty.
So looks like when they change models and something breaks your **** out of luck as they stop producing spare parts.
Also their customer support is by phone only, the worst method. Due to not having written proof of what was said, lack of photos etc. They did do live video call but was hard for them to see the damage, due to lighting and the fact the ridges are in the hole of the paddle. Where photos can turn flash on and set the shot up.
Even though they say put a support ticket in or email them on website, you just get an automated email back saying we can't offer support by email, please phone us. Why even offer it on website then.
Replacement lid assemblies are available on the Ninja website.
This woman on fb is claiming that using water ruined her machine. She claims the rod cleans the machine, she had black grease coming out of it.😊
I can only speak from my experience.
You "accidentally" knocked it off the counter so you just "had" to buy a new one. LOL
It wasn’t intentional, but I’m definitely making way more ice cream with the Creami than I did with the Dash.
Oh no. Please dont gross me out, please don't gross me out...😟
You certainly don't have to watch this.
Is it a pain to clean?😮
Not really, if you do it regularly.
Twice a week?? We use ours twice a day!
Definitely getting your money's worth. 🙂
Wieso bitte 6 monate prep? Mit der aktuellen form könntest du in 3 monaten auf der bühne stehen...klar ist langsam diäten besser, aber du verzichtest auf 4-8 wochen aufbau. Das ist signifikant
Why can't you put the parts into a dish washer?
You can, but you’d still need to remove the gasket and I doubt a dishwasher would get the holes I do with the small brush.
Heard they go on fire. I still want to buy the breeze
Please post your source for saying that they go on fire. If that were case, I'm sure there'd be a recall.
I don’t have one, I’m just here for the potential ewwe factor.
Seems like an awfully lot of work just to make ice-cream.
I just give the lid, with blade attached, a good water rinse with a strong sink sprayer, then store it in the freezer. Nasty, stinky germs can't grow when frozen. To use it, I just again rinse it under water to thaw it, paying special attention to the lock button. That button freezes and must be free moving before you try to lock it to a container. So much easier than cleaning it!
Cleaning the lid on this machine is a breeze. Do it every time. Considering the number of re-spins necessary, lid cleaning takes no time at all.
We used it for three weeks and returned it. It just didn't seem to serve any real purpose, and it was so involved just to have a scoop of ice cream. We went back to our $50 ice cream maker and scoopable ice cream.
BTW, we returned the Creami 5 weeks ago. In spite of follow-up calls they still have not refunded our money. Five or six days they say. Still no refund. Perhaps there are more of them being returned than they can deal with? I dunno. I feel like I got caught up in the hype.
