TIPS AND HINTS
FOR HAND BLENDER
• Always unplug hand blender when not in use or immediately after
use.
• Be sure that blending blade guard is fully submerged before
blending ingredients.
• To purée a soup, use the hand blender to blend the soup
ingredients to the desired consistency, using a gentle up-and-down
motion right in the saucepan or pot.
• When blending ingredients right in a pot or pan, tilt the pan away
from you to create a deeper area for blending to prevent splatter.
• When using a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to scratch
the coating with the hand blender.
• When blending in the blending cup, for example, when making a
fruit smoothie, cut most solid foods into ½-inch pieces for easy
blending.
• When blending in the mixing cup, pour liquid ingredients in first,
unless recipe instructs otherwise.
• Liquid should not come closer than 1 inch of where the shaft
attaches to the motor housing.
• The hand blender is perfect for frothing milk for cappuccino or
lattés. Just warm milk in a small saucepan, and then pulse the hand
blender gently, being sure to keep the blending blade guard fully
submerged.
• Do not let hand blender stand in a hot pot on stove while not in
use.
• Do not attempt to blend fruit pits, bones or other hard materials, as
these are liable to damage the blades.
• Do not fill mixing containers too full. The level of mixture will rise
when blending and can overflow.
• To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under the
surface.
• Using a gentle up-and-down motion is the best way to blend and
incorporate ingredients uniformly.
• Use the hand blender to make smooth gravies and pan sauces.
• Do not immerse motor body housing in water or any other liquid.
FOR WHISK ATTACHMENT
• Do not immerse whisk attachment gearbox in water or any other liquid.
