BLENDING AND GRINDING TIPS AND
TECHNIQUES
• Cut food into pieces no larger than
3
⁄
4
for use in the blender.
• When preparing foods that have several different kinds of ingredients,
always add liquid ingredients first.
• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is very
thick, press the PULSE/STOP button to turn appliance off. Remove the
lid and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the jar and to
redistribute the food, pushing food toward the blades. Replace the lid and
continue blending.
• The lid cap holds up to 2oz. of liquid and can be used as a measure when
adding ingredients such as juices, milk, cream or liquor.
• When making bread crumbs or blending dry goods, make sure blending
jar is completely dry.
• Use the #3 speed button when preparing beverages that include ice
cubes or anything frozen; this helps to produce a smoother texture.
• The PULSE function is helpful when short bursts of power are needed,
such as when preparing thick smoothies or milkshakes. Do not use pulse
for more than 10 seconds at a time. Release the PULSE button regularly,
allow the blender to rest briefly, and then continue.
• Do not run blender for longer than 1
½
minutes at a time.
• Do not use if blender jar is chipped or cracked.
• It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then
increase to a higher speed, if necessary.
• To stop blending at any time, press the PULSE/STOP or ON/OFF button.
• When blending hot ingredients, always let them cool at least 5 minutes
before blending. Before beginning to blend, remove the measuring cup lid
insert and put it back with the opened side tilted away from you. Cover
lid with a cloth to avoid splattering and only use the lowest speed. Do not
blend more than 2
½
to 3 cups at a time.
• Always operate the blender with the lid on the jar.
• Do not store foods in the blending jar.
