TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
Quick tips
• If you’re making beverages using ice,
start with ICE, then finish with Speed 5 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 speed 1 to
thoroughly combine the ingredients. Then
increase to a higher speed, as desired.
• If desired, remove center ingredient cup
of pitcher lid to add liquids or ice cubes
while the Blender is operating at speeds 1,
2, or 3.
How to...
• 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.
• Cool hot foods, if possible, before
blending. Begin blending warm foods
at speed 1. Increase to higher speeds, one
at a time, if necessary.
• When blending hot foods or liquids, do not
fill the blender pitcher to the top. Secure
the lid, remove the center ingredient cup,
and place a towel over the lid. Operate
only on speed 1. Do not place bare hand
on pitcher lid when processing hot foods
or liquids.
Dissolve flavored gelatin: Pour boiling
water into the pitcher; add gelatin. Remove
center ingredient cup, and place a towel
over the lid. Blend at speed 1 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 blend at speed 2,
pulsing a few times, about 3 seconds each
time, until reaching desired consistency.
Make a finer crumbs for pie and dessert
crusts: Break cookies, crackers, or bread
into pieces about 4 cm in diameter and place

water per cup (240 mL) of fruit. Cover and
blend at speed 4 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 speed 4
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
speed 1 for10 seconds. Stop the Blender and
scrape sides of pitcher. Cover and blend on
speed 4 for 10 to 20 seconds longer.
Take lumps out of gravy: If sauce or
gravy becomes lumpy, place in the pitcher.
Cover and blend at speed 3 until smooth,
about 5 to 10 seconds.
Combine flour and liquid for thickening:
Place flour and liquid in pitcher. Cover and
blend at speed 1 until smooth, about 5 to
10 seconds.
Prepare white sauce: Place milk, flour, and
salt, if desired, in pitcher. Cover, and blend
at speed 1 until well-mixed, about 5 to
10 seconds. Pour into saucepan and cook
as usual.
