TIPS FOR PREPARING FOOD

1. Remove all hard and undesirable food components e.g. skin, pips, stalks, stones etc.

liquid will help the process.

3. Do not overll. For even results chop small amounts of food at a time.

4. You will get more consistency if food is in similar size pieces to start with.

5. Some foods may stick to the sides as they are processed and may need to be returned to the centre of the jar. This
can be done by removing the jar from the motor housing and shaking gently.

6. Always place your hand on top of the blender when you are operating the device.

7. For blending thicker liquids we recommend that you use the blender in short bursts for best results.

You can also prepare purees using cooked meats such as chicken, beef. Ensure all bone and gristle is removed and it is
cut into small pieces. Blend with enough water, milk or cooking liquor to mix, adding in cooked vegetables if required.
