TIPS AND HINTS
1. Liquid should come within an inch (2.5 cm) of where the shaft
attaches to the motor housing.
2. When using with a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to
scratch the coating with the hand blender.
3. Do not immerse motor body housing, in water or any other liquid.
4. Cut most solid foods into
1
⁄
2
" (1.25 cm) cubes for easy blending.
5. Pour liquid ingredients into the mixing container first, unless recipe
instructs otherwise.
6. To avoid splashing, don’t turn the hand blender on until the blade is
beneath the surface of the mixture, and do not pull the hand blender
out of the mixture while blender is running.
7. Do not let hand blender stand in a hot pot on stove while not in use.
8. Do not put fruit pits, bones, or other hard material into the blending
mixture, as these are liable to damage the blades.
9. Do not fill mixing containers too full. The level of mixture will rise
when blending, and can overflow.
10. Adding liquids that are warm, not cold, facilitates blending solids
with liquids.
11. For recipes calling for ice, use crushed ice (not whole cubes) for
best results.
12. Using a gentle up-and-down motion is the best way to blend and
incorporate ingredients uniformly.
13. To avoid spatter, turn the hand blender off and let the blade stop
completely before lifting the unit out of the mixture you are
processing.
14. To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under
the surface.
15. To make a soup creamy in texture, use the hand blender to purée
the soup solids to the desired consistency using a gentle up-and-
down motion right in the saucepan. You can quickly change your
soup into a thick and creamy blend.
16. When making compound butters, remove the butter from the
refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before blending in
the ingredients.
17. The hand blender is perfect for frothing milk for cappuccino or
lattes.
18. Use the hand blender to make smooth gravies and pan sauces.
19. For best results when using celery in a recipe, use a vegetable
peeler to remove tough outer strings from the celery before slicing.
