• Nothing can beat a blender for making
smooth purees and sauces or for whipping
up frothy drinks – from healthy breakfast
shakes to frozen daiquiris.
• Use your blender for chopping small
amounts of food like nuts, bread crumbs
and whole spices.
• Turn any oil-based salad dressing into a
creamy style dressing by blending it until
slightly thickened.
• A brief whirl in the blender will rescue a
lumpy gravy, or an egg-based sauce that
has separated.
• Food items for blending should be cut into
cubes (approximately 2-3cm), this will
assist in achieving an even result.
• Ensure the lid is firmly and securely
placed on the jug. Do not operate the
blender without the lid on, if you wish to
add any additional ingredients remove the
ingredient cup and add as necessary.
• Never fill above the maximum level
indicator – 1.6 litres.
• To ensure efficient mixing when blending
dry mixtures, it may be necessary to stop
the blender and push ingredients down the
sides of the jug with a spatula.
• When pureeing fruit or vegetables, cooked
or raw, cut into small pieces to facilitate
blending.
• When making bread crumbs, use 2 to
3 day old bread, leaving crusts on, to
minimise the possibility of clumping. If
only fresh bread is available, dry it out for
a few minutes in a low heated oven.
• When blending a variety of ingredients
together, blend the liquids first, then add
dry ingredients.
• Always ensure stones are removed from
fruit and bones from meat as these can
harm the blades.
• Don’t allow a used blender to sit for too
long as the food will dry onto the blades,
making it very difficult to clean. If you
can’t clean the blender straight away, pour
some warm water in it and allow to soak.
• Do not process hot liquids in your blender.
Allow to cool to room temperature before
processing.
• Always ventilate the blender jug when
pureéing warm ingredients. This is
achieved by lifting the ingredient cup out
of the lid after starting the blender.
