Instructions For Use

THE FROTH PADDLE IS USED TO PREPARE FROTH & HOT BEVERAGES.
THE SAUCE PADDLE IS USED TO PREPARE SAUCES, GRAVIES, & DESSERTS.
THE CREAM PADDLE IS USED TO PREPARE WHIPPED CREAM AND OTHER
NON HEATED RECIPES.

Using Your Saucier

1 Place the base unit on your counter or table and

plug into power outlet. Set the Pitcher onto the
base so that the power plugs align.

2 Choose the appropriate Paddle for your recipe.

While holding the top ball of the selected
Paddle, insert the bottom into the stainless steel
center tube of the Pitcher and Set the Heat
ON/OFF switch to the desired ON or OFF position.
The HEAT ON position enables the heater during
the frothing or whipping cycle. The HEAT OFF
position turns the heater off.

3 When using the Froth Paddle to prepare the

Froth Paddle recipes, pour the desired amount
and type of cold milk (fat free, low fat, or whole)
into the Pitcher. Use a measuring cup or the
marked level indicators on the backside of the
Pitcher as a guide.

Using Your Saucier (continued)

The Saucier appliance produces the greatest volume of rich, thick,
healthy froth using cold, fat free milk. 1%, 2% and Whole milk froth well,
but due to a higher fat content they produce a froth with a slightly
different texture and less volume but sweeter.

To prepare toppings for coffee or dessert, using the minimum amount of
milk will produce approximately 2 servings and the maximum amount
of milk will produce approximately 6 generous servings.
IMPORTANT: All purpose cream, half & half and whipping cream will not froth.

When preparing food items using the Sauce Paddle, assure the Splash
Guard is in place and pour liquid ingredients into the Pitcher as
directed in recipe. Add flour, cornstarch, or cheese, then hold top of
paddle and rotate in both directions until it moves easily and distributes
ingredients evenly.

When using the Cream Paddle to prepare the Cream Paddle Recipes,
assure the Splash Guard is in place and pour liquid ingredients into the
Pitcher. Follow the recipes as directed.

Using Your Saucier (continued)

4 After placing the lid on the Pitcher with the RUN

marker positioned over the Pitcher spout, press
and release the start button located on the
Saucier base unit. This will start the frothing or
whipping cycle.

5 To make flavored froth, frothy drinks, dessert

toppings or desserts, you may add syrups, powders,
sugar, sugar substitutes or liqueurs to the milk
through the Flavor Hatch.
See Froth Paddle recipes.

Hold the front of the lid down with one hand, and
with your other hand lift off the Flavor Hatch™
located in the center of the lid. After approximately
1 - 2 minutes of frothing or when the pitcher feels
warm, pour the desired amount of flavoring into
the pitcher and re-insert the Flavor Hatch.

6 With the Heater ON/OFF Switch in the ON

position, once the frothing or whipping cycle is
complete, Saucier will shut off automatically. In
the Heat OFF mode, the Saucier must be shut off
manually by pressing the stop button or lifting the
Pitcher off of the base. The frothing cycle (using
the Froth Paddle) takes approximately 2 - 4
minutes depending on the type and volume of
milk used. The whipping cycle (using the Sauce
Paddle) ranges from 1 - 5 minutes depending on
which recipe is being made.

The heating and frothing or whipping cycle can
be stopped at anytime by simply lifting the
Pitcher off the base.

When making froth (using the Froth Paddle) allow
30 seconds or more for the hot milk to settle after
the cycle is complete. Then rotate the lid to the
POUR position and carefully pour desired amount
of hot milk for Cappuccinos, Lattes or other Specialty
Drinks. Remember that the liquid milk heats to a
higher temperature than the froth. If serving to
children, wait until hot milk cools slightly or stop
the frothing & heating cycle early by lifting
pitcher off base.

7 To make flavored froth, frothy drinks, dessert

toppings or desserts, you may add syrups,
powders, sugar, sugar substitutes or liqueurs to
the milk through the Flavor Hatch.
See Froth Paddle recipes.

Hold the front of the lid down with one hand, and
with your other hand lift off the Flavor Hatch™
located in the center of the lid. After approximately
1 - 2 minutes of frothing or when the pitcher feels
warm, pour the desired amount of flavoring into
the pitcher and re-insert the Flavor Hatch.

7a When making froth (using the Froth Paddle)

rotate lid slightly past the POUR position, lift it from
the pitcher and spoon out the exceptionally rich
froth. If desired, the pitcher can be removed from
the base and used for serving. Occasionally, a
small amount of milk may enter the center tube
and drip onto the base. Simply wipe unit off with
a towel or sponge. This is a normal occurrence.
Care should be taken never to remove the Froth
Paddle while milk is still in the pitcher.

Using Your Saucier (continued)

7b When making sauces, gravies, or desserts (using

the Sauce Paddle), wait for unit to shut off
automatically, (unless recipe states otherwise)
then stir the sauce several times with a HEAT
RESISTANT RUBBER SPATULA. Use spatula to pour
desired sauce into a bowl. Serve hot, warm, or
chill in refrigerator.

7c When preparing whipped cream or other non-

heated recipes (using the Cream Paddle), rotate
lid slightly past the POUR position, and lift it from
the Pitcher and spoon out rich whipped cream.

the Care & Cleaning Instructions. Remember to
rinse in cold water before each use.

Caution

Only liquids, powdered mixes, or ingredients listed in the
Saucier recipe book can be used. Other solid food items may
cause damage to one of the Paddles and should not be used while
Saucier is in operation.

When adding butter or oil, follow procedures as outlined in the
applicable recipe.

Care & Cleaning

After each use it is important that you properly clean your new Saucier.
You should rinse the pitcher in cold water prior to using. In addition, the
following guidelines should be adhered to:

Care of the Base Unit

1 ALWAYS unplug the base unit prior to cleaning and .After each use,

clean with a warm damp cloth or sponge and dry with a soft towel.
This is especially important around the switch and center drive
assembly to prevent buildup of spilled ingredients.

Care of the Pitcher and Paddles

1 Never immerse the Pitcher in water. The lower surface of the Pitcher

must be dried before use.

2 The Pitcher should never be placed in an automatic dishwasher!

3 Immediately after each use, the Pitcher, Paddles, Lid with Splash

Guard, and Flavor Hatch should be carefully washed with warm
soapy water using a sponge or scrubber pad. Rinse with and dry
with a soft towel.

4 If washing needs to be delayed, then a small amount of warm water

should be placed in the Pitcher to soak. The water helps prevent the
buildup of ingredients on the stainless steel surface and makes
cleaning easier. Clean and dry as above when ready.

5 Prior to use and between consecutive cycles, the appliance should

be rinsed with water to insure proper operation.

6 Occasionally, it is recommended that the Saucier be operated with

1 1/2 cups of water and a small amount of non-sudsing detergent.

7 Care should be taken when cleaning smaller parts, such as the Flavor

Hatch, to avoid accidentally dropping in the garbage disposal or
discarding in the trash.

Assembly and Cleaning of the Paddles

Your Saucier includes three paddles: the Froth Paddle, the Sauce Paddle,
and the Cream Paddle. Each paddle can be disassembled into three
elements to facilitate thorough cleaning (See Figure On Page 12). There is
one common shaft and three sets of whipping paddles. The Froth Paddle
utilizes the gray set of blades; the Sauce Paddle utilizes the black set, and
the Cream Paddle utilizes the white set.
