TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTSOPERATING THE BLENDER

Quick tips

• If you’re making beverages using ice,
start with CRUSH ICE ( ), then finish
with LIQUIFY ( ) in order to produce
a smoother texture.

• Ice directly from the freezer will crush
better than partially melted ice for snow.

• Smaller ice cubes can be chopped or
crushed faster than large ones.

• For many ingredient mixtures, start
the blending process at CHOP ( ) to
thoroughly combine the ingredients. Then
increase to a higher speed, as desired.

How to...

• If desired, remove center ingredient cup
of pitcher lid to add liquids or ice cubes
while the Blender is operating at
CHOP ( ) or MIX ( ) speeds.

• Stop the Blender before using utensils
in the pitcher. Use a rubber spatula to mix
ingredients only when the Blender is off.
Never use any utensil, including spatulas,
in the pitcher while the motor is running.

English

Dissolve flavored gelatin: Pour boiling
water into the pitcher; add gelatin. Blend
on HOT FOODS ( ) until gelatin is
dissolved, about 10 to 30 seconds. Add
other ingredients.

Make cookie, cracker, or bread crumbs:
Break cookies, crackers, or bread into pieces
about 4 cm in diameter. Place in pitcher. In
PULSE ( ) mode, cover and pulse a few
times, about 3 seconds each time, until
reaching desired consistency.

Make finer crumbs for pie and dessert
crusts: Break cookies, crackers, or bread

into pieces about 4 cm in diameter and place
in the pitcher. In PULSE ( ) mode, cover
and pulse a few times until reaching desired
consistency, about 20 to 30 seconds.

Chop fruits and vegetables: Put 2 cups
(475 mL) of fruit or vegetable chunks in
pitcher. In PULSE ( ) mode, cover and blend
at LIQUIFY ( ) pulsing a few times, about
2 to 3 seconds each time, until reaching
desired consistency.

Puree fruits: Place 2 cups (475 mL)
canned or cooked fruit in pitcher. Add 2
to 4 tablespoons (30 to 60 mL) fruit juice
or water per cup (240 mL) of fruit. Cover
and blend at PUREE ( ) about 5 to
10 seconds.

Puree vegetables: Place 2 cups (475 mL)
canned or cooked vegetables in pitcher. Add
2 to 4 tablespoons (30 to 60 ml) broth,
water, or milk per cup (240 mL) of
vegetables. Cover and blend at PUREE ( )
about 10 to 20 seconds.

Puree meats: Place cooked, cubed, tender
meat in pitcher. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons
(45 to 60 mL) broth, water, or milk per
cup (240 mL) of meat. Cover and blend on
CHOP ( ) 10 seconds. Stop the Blender
and scrape sides of pitcher. Cover and blend
on PUREE ( ) 10 to 20 seconds longer.

Take lumps out of gravy: If sauce or
gravy becomes lumpy, place in the pitcher.
Cover and blend at MIX ( ) until smooth,
about 5 to 10 seconds.

Combine flour and liquid for thickening:
Place flour and liquid in pitcher. Cover and
blend at MIX ( ) until smooth, about 5 to
10 seconds.

Prepare white sauce: Place milk, flour, and
salt, if desired, in pitcher. Cover, and blend
at MIX ( ) until well-mixed, about 5 to
10 seconds. Pour into saucepan and cook
as usual.

Make smoothies: Place liquids and frozen
ingredients in pitcher first, then add other
ingredients on top. Cover and blend on
CRUSH ICE ( ) for 10 to 15 seconds,
then LIQUIFY ( ) for 10 to 15 seconds,
as desired.

13

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

Prepare pancake or waffle batter from
mix: Place mix and other ingredients in

pitcher. Cover and blend at MIX ( ) until
well-mixed, 10 to 20 seconds. Stop the
Blender and scrape sides of the pitcher
as needed.

Grate cheese: Cut very cold cheese into

1.5 cm cubes. Place up to 1/2 cup (120 mL)
cheese in the pitcher. Cover, and blend at
LIQUIFY ( ) about 5 to 10 seconds.
For hard cheeses, such as Parmesan, bring
to room temperature then blend at LIQUIFY
( ) for 10 to 15 seconds.
