TIPS & TRICKS
11
• Cut solid ingredients into pieces measuring roughly 2 cm before placing
them in the blender jug.
• Crushed ice: the function reduces ice cubes to very fine powder if you
prefer roughly crushed ice use a small amount of ice cubes (100/150g max)
and use the pulse button.
• To fold ingredients in without chopping them (e.g. chocolate chips in a cake
mixture), add them at the very end and run your blender for 5-10 seconds
at a very low speed (0.5).
• Frozen fruit intended for smoothies or ice creams sometimes forms a solid
block when it comes out of the freezer. To avoid damaging your appliance,
break this block up into pieces measuring approximately 2 cm before placing
them in the blender jug.
• When processing thick mixtures or solid ingredients, always start off at a slow
speed, otherwise the food will stick to the sides and not come into contact with
the blades. If necessary, add a small amount of liquid to facilitate mixing.
• You can rescue a sauce by using your blender to get rid of the lumps. Blend
for 15 seconds at speed 3.
Mill attachment
• Whole spices retain their aroma far longer than ground ones, so it is best to
grind a small amount each time.
• To make instant crumble, crush some biscuits and divide the resulting crumble
between glasses filled with fruit salad or ice cream.
• For icing sugar, pour 200 g caster sugar. Process for one minute at speed 4.
To achieve an even finer texture, blend for a further minute.
• To make cake icing, pour 200 g icing sugar and one egg white into the mill
bowl. Blend for 20 seconds at speed 1.
