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.

Intelli-Sense™

TECHNOLOGY

SMART PROGRAM RECOGNITION

Intelli-Sense Technology uses an advanced interlock system to identify the vessel

on the Smart Station’s base. With one snap, the touchscreen automatically displays

a unique menu of pre-set programs and manual speeds available for your recipe.

All that’s left to do is select a program and enjoy always-consistent results.

MEASURING

MATTERS

Since dry and liquid measurements dier slightly, it’s important

to use the correct tool for the ingredient you’re measuring.

Here’s a breakdown of the dierent measuring cups.

Dry measuring cups are used to measure

dry ingredients (like flour and sugar)

as well as non-pourable wet ingredients

(like peanut butter and sour cream).

Measuring Tip

Over a bowl, overfill the measuring cup. Then
level the ingredient with a flat edge, like a
butter knife or spatula. This will ensure an exact
measurement and preserve the excess ingredient
for future use.

Use dry measuring cups for:

• Flour

• Granulated white sugar

• Brown sugar

• Confectioners’ sugar

• Rice & other grains

• Bread crumbs

• Cereal

• Peanut butter

• Sour cream

• Yo g u r t

• Cream cheese

• Fresh & frozen fruit

Liquid measuring cups

are used to measure liquid

and pourable ingredients.

Measuring Tip

Place the measuring cup on your countertop
before filling it. Once filled, bend down so you
can see the measurement at eye level (looking
at the cup from above will skew your view).

Use liquid measuring cups for:

• Water

• Oil

• Vinegar

• Milk

• Juice

• Stock/broth

TIPS FOR YOUR HIGH-SPEED BLENDER CUP

LOADING TIPS

Don’t overfill the cup. If you feel
resistance when attaching the
Pro Extractor Blades® Assembly to
the cup, remove some ingredients.

WHO KNEW THIS

MUCH FLAVOR

COULD FIT IN A CUP.

High-Speed Blending gives you nutrient juices, smoothies, dressings, and sauces

that’ll make any kitchen jealous. It unlocks the potential of every fruit and veggie it meets,*

giving you tons of flavor and nutritious goodness in every recipe you make.

*By blending whole fruits and vegetables, including portions that are usually discarded.

When loading the cup, make
sure ingredients do not go past
the max fill line.

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 haven’t thought of before. From no-bake almond chia

bites to full-on quinoa burgers, 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.

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.

For chopped salads with a lot of lettuce,
chop the toppings separately and then
layer them on top of a bed of lettuce.

For smoothie bowls and frozen treats, use
the following frozen-to-liquid ingredient
ratio: 1.5 to 1.

OH, THE

“PASTA”BILITIES.

Auto-Spiralizing takes “eating your fruits and veggies” to a whole new level. With

minimal prep, the Auto-Spiralizer™ easily turns fruits and vegetables into noodles that are

as pretty to look at as they are fun to eat—we’re talking slurping zucchini, nibbling apple

rings, and crunching on curly fries. Whether you’re looking to increase your veggie intake

or get creative in the kitchen, the Auto-Spiralizer has you covered.

HOW TO: GET NOODLES WITH STYLE

SPIRALIZER FOOD PREP SPIRALIZER TIPS

FOR BEST RESULTS, PREPARE YOUR INGREDIENTS BEFORE SPIRALIZING

4”

4”

Trim ingredients so they are

no taller than the Feed Chute (4").
For butternut squash and potatoes,
the max recommended height is 3".

3”

Peel ingredients with tough

skin, like sweet potatoes or

butternut squash.

3" 3"

Cut ingredient so it is no more than
3" wide. Trim evenly from all sides to
maintain a roughly cylindrical shape.

DO NOT cut in half lengthwise.

1.5"

WHEN SPIRALIZING

Having trouble getting long strands? Is it just shredding or creating semicircles?

Make sure the food is centered on the Blade Disc pin.

Is ingredient not fully processing and just spinning on the pusher?

Remove remaining ingredient from Blade Disc pin and re-trim ends to be even.

Make sure you center your ingredient on the Blade Disc pin.

Can I spiralize continuously? No, make sure you remove the ingredients from the bowl and the

small amount of leftover ingredient from your Blade Disc before spiralizing another ingredient.

PREPPING/COOKING

Why are my noodles broken and not long noodles? If the Collecting Bowl is overfilled, causing the Blade

Disc to lift up after spiralizing, your ingredient may have been too large. Make sure to trim and prepare your

ingredients properly before spiralizing by following the instructions in the Food Prep section to the left.

Why are my noodles watery? To avoid watery noodles, pat them dry with a paper towel after spiralizing.

You can also release excess water from the noodles by salting them and letting sit for 2 to 3 minutes.

CHOOSING YOUR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

Cannot find a wide enough carrot? Look for carrots that are sold individually rather than in a bag.

Cut both ends o ingredient to

create flat surfaces, helping to

secure ingredient to both the

Blade Disc pin and Food Pusher.

Trim tapered ingredients like

carrots to make them more
symmetrical. Ingredients must
be larger than 1.5" in diameter.

Results will vary. No 2 fruits or vegetables are the same. For best results, be sure to select fresh,

firm, and symmetrical ingredients.

COOKING TECHNIQUES.

Cooking veggie noodles is so quick and easy, you might start wondering if some of your

favorite foods can be spiralized. You’re in luck, because thanks to the Auto-Spiralizer™,

they probably can. Whether you’re prepping them raw, sautéing, or deep frying, there’s delicious

ways to spiralizer and serve everything from carrots to broccoli stems (yes, broccoli stems).
