Well, today I made a baked blueberry cheesecake. And I use a food processor to blend the ingredients. After putting the cake in the over (at 180°C, for 45 minutes) I discovered there would alot of mould in the food processor. Well, it was on the inside of the blade.
(This is that the blade looks like, and the mould was on the inner part of the blade. the part you cant see in this picture… http://www.thegourmetdepotco.com/public/CUAFP-7CB_tn.jpg )
Im pretty sure this part did not come into contact with the food as the blade is flush the the plastic jug thing, but is ther a risk the cake is contaminated?
and if so, would 180°C, for 45 minutes kill the potential bacteria?
