INTRODUCTION

The Cuisinart® SmartPower Premier600-Watt Blender is construct- ed with a heavy die-cast metal base and 50-ounce glass blender jar. This dynamic new look for blending - solid, sophisticated, and elegantly commercial - is perfect for today’s gourmet kitchen.

The most powerful of the SmartPowerBlenders, it’s engineered with a 600-watt motor that’s more than capable of handling extra tough blending tasks, including crushing ice. The flip side of this heavy-duty blender is its versatile, precision control. A Count-UpTimer ensures that any recipe can be followed to the second, and a professional-quality stainless steel blade finely minces even small portions of delicate herbs or nuts. Separate Hi, Low, Pulse, and Ice Crush controls, plus LED indicator lights, offer the kind of ease of operation and control that result in the perfect blend, time after time.

A crowd pleaser, the heavy glass blender jar holds 50 ounces of tropical island drinks, luscious fruit and yogurt shakes, creamy chocolate pie filling, crepe or tempura batters...and more! If you think of something else you want to add while blending, just remove the measured pour lid insert and pour ingredients in. The blender jar has a spillproof spout, and all the removable parts are dishwasher safe. Great look. Perfect blend. Welcome to Cuisinart!
