Dried turmeric (powder) when mixed with liquid stuff will make your white cooking implements yellow too |

Ahh, I do enjoy seeing you putting that wee blob of grey matter of yours into overdrive. |

Ahh, I do enjoy seeing you putting that wee blob of grey matter of yours into overdrive.  | | | | | I was just trying to help you and anyone else who might not have known that if they spoon the dry turmeric powder into say cooked vegetables and used white plastic immersion blender, then the plastic would get permanently yellow.
Glad to know that my initial impression of you being a _ _ _ t was correct |

Funny thing, hand sanitizer removed most of the orange coloring from my hands.

Seconded! Recently made a carrot and tumeric soup mixed in the blender and of course the plastic turned neon yellow. All I had to do was leave it in the window in strong sunlight and *presto* it was gone within hours.

Although in Autumn and Winter in CH this method may be less possible due to lack of sun.
I still likely won't be using fresh turmeric again though unless I really have no choice or wear some disposable kitchen gloves or something.

Sun/heat and plastic are not a healthy combination which is why I switched all my kitchen equipment to glass/metal last year, problem permanently solved.
