Hints and tips
Blender
The blender is perfectly suited for
preparing dips, sauces, soups, mayonnaise,
milkshakes and baby food.
The blender can be use to puree cooked
vegetables, tinned tomatoes and any soft or
pre cooked food etc. It is ideal to turn a
cooked broth or stew into a smooth soup and
to prepare baby food. You may need to add a
little water to cooked vegetables when
blending to encourage a puree to form.
For milkshakes, cut soft fruit or bananas
into 1.5cm cube size pieces for easy
blending, add milk and ice-cream a little at a
time during the blending.
For perfect blending use a ‘plunging’
action, this will allow the food to be pulled
into the blade and dispersed through the exit
vents.
Keep the head of the blender beneath the
food surface to prevent splashing.
If food has been cooked in a saucepan
transfer to a cooler bowl, this will protect the
blender attachment from heat distortion.
Blending results will be better by using a
measuring jug or beaker as this allows
control of the food being blended.
When not in use fit the blade cover.
Knife
Start cutting on a corner of bread or meat,
then allow the blade to cut through.
Whisk
It is recommended to start whisking at a
low speed, then change to a higher speed as
required.
When working with liquids, use a low
speed in order to avoid splashing onto the
whisk and firmly hold the liquid container.
IMPORTANT: Never use the whisk
attachment for dough kneading or heavy
mixing.
