the blender jar along with ½ to 1 cup (125-250 ml) of the reserved cook-
ing liquid. Use the Pulse to chop, then blend until desired consistency/
purée is reached. Blending hot mixtures is often better done in several
batches.
• When blending hot foods/liquids, leave the feeder cap off or ajar to allow
steam to be released to prevent the lid from popping up/off. Cover the
lid with a clean dish towel and hold down to prevent it from lifting up.
• When blending hot foods/liquids, make certain there is sufficient room
for expansion during blending.
• The blender is a perfect tool for creating baby foods and purées for
special needs diets.
• A quick way to clean the blender is to let it clean itself. Add about 2
cups (500 ml) of warm water and a drop of liquid dish soap to the
blender jar. Run the blender for about 30 seconds, until it is clean. Rinse
thoroughly with warm water to remove all soap and allow to air dry.
• Xanthan gum may be added to dressings and marinades to prevent
separation.
