Operating your Soup Maker/Blender, cont
STAINLESS STEEL FILTER
A stainless steel filter is supplied to create further
flexibility when using the Soup Maker/Blender unit.
As a general guide, food inside the filter will be
smoother and food outside the filter will be
chunkier.
Experimenting with the filter is the best way to
discover your preferences.
Placing the SOUP side of the filter at the bottom of
the jug divides the jug into two parts whereby any
hard foods such as ginger will only impart flavour
into the soup. Alternately all food items can be
inserted into the filter to ensure a super smooth
soup.
The filter can also be used to ensure that any food
outside the filter does not get blended to ensure a
super chunky soup such as Minestrone.
Placing the SOYA side of the filter at the bottom of
the jug divides the jug into two parts and creates a
super smooth food as this side of the filter has
very small pores. This is ideal for blending already
cooked foods such as pumpkin or apple to create
smooth baby food.
The filter fits over the ring around the jug blades,
touches the bottom of the jug and is locked into
place by the jug lid.
