THE KITCHEN,

RECENTERED.

The days of guessing in the kitchen are over. Which means so are the days of kitchen chaos.

The Ninja® Intelli-Sense™ Kitchen System with Smart Vessel Recognition does the thinking
for you. Just snap on your desired vessel and the interface displays pre-set programs and

manual speed settings available for your recipes. Now you’ve got one adaptive tool to make

everything from healthy dinners to bake-sale-winning treats at the tap of a touchscreen.

And there’s a whole new reason the kitchen is the most popular room in your house.

SMART PROGRAMS

The Ninja Intelli-Sense™ Kitchen System easily transforms into three high-performance

machines. Just snap on one of three interchangeable vessels—you’ll get a menu of smart

pre-sets and manual controls. Then touch the screen to select a program and go—

the smart base automatically calibrates speed and power based on your recipe.

PREP TIPS

Do not go past the max fill
line when loading the cup.

CAUTI ON: Re move the P ro Ext racto r Blad es Assembly from th e Single-Serve Cup upon com pletion of ble nding.

Do not sto re ingredients before or af ter bl endi ng in the c up with th e blad e asse mbly at tach ed. S ome foods may contain

active ingred ient s or rele ase ga ses that will expand if le ft in a sealed container, resulting i n excessive pressure buildup

that can pose a ri sk of inj ury. For ingredient s torag e in the cu p, only use Spo ut Lid to cover.

For best results, cut ingredients in 1-inch
chunks. Place frozen ingredients in the
cup last.

TIPS FOR YOUR PRECISION PROCESSOR

LOADING TIPS

Don’t overfill the bowl or ingredients
may not break down evenly. If the
ingredients exceed the max fill line,
take some out.

SO MUCH MORE

THAN MEAL PREP.

With Precision Processing, you’re not just breaking ingredients down into smaller pieces.

You’re bringing them together in ways you hadn’t thought of before. From classic hummus

to chicken pot pie, big mealtime inspiration can come from a relatively small place.

When loading the bowl, make
sure ingredients do not go past

the max fill line.

Also comes with a dough blade.

Add liquid on top,
as the last ingredient.

Place heavier ingredients, like
chicken and root vegetables,
on top of the greens and lettuces.

Place herbs, lettuces, and greens in the
bowl first so they are at the bottom.

Cut all ingredients to 1 inch or as
designated in each recipe.

Peel bell peppers with a vegetable peeler
prior to cutting for best performance.

TIPS FOR YOUR TOTAL CRUSHING® PITCHER

LOADING TIPS
