MAGIC 10 VRUCHTENPERS

Nu kunt u elke dag van de week thuis vers geperst vruchtensap maken, zonder toevoe- ging van suiker die men terugvindt in al dat fruitsap dat men in de winkel koopt en zonder alle ophef die gepaard gaat met de klassieke vruchtenpersen. In de Magic 10 vruchtenpers is het een kleintje om lekkere, voedingrijke vruchtensappen te persen van sinaasappels, ananas .... U kunt er ook in een oogwenk ener-

gierijke cocktails mee maken.

ASSEMBLAGE VAN DE MAGIC 10 VRUCH-

TENPERS

Draai eerst het gekruiste mesblad op de onderkant van de blender.

Plaats … dan de centrifuge in het midden van de blender en zorg ervoor dat de drie inkepin- gen zich in lijn bevinden met de drie ribben aan de binnenkant van de blender.

Breng vervolgens het deksel op de blender aan en breng ofwel de afgiettuit of de norma- le giettuit in lijn met de tuit. Controleer of het deksel vergrendeld is, want dit houdt de cen- trifuge op zijn plaats.

En … plaats dan de blender op het blok van de Magic 10.

MAGIC 10 BASICS

CHOPPING ONIONS AND GARLIC

With the Magic 10, chopping onions and mincing garlic is effortless. No more tears, no more stinky hands and no more knife and cutting board … you are literally seconds away from chopped, minced, even pureed onions and garlic.

First… prep the onions or garlic by removing any skin and making sure the pieces will fit into the Magic 10 cup.

Next… Place the whole onions, onion pieces, or garlic into the Short Cup and twist on The Cross Blade.

Then… Give it several very quick Pulses. Remember to apply a bit of counter-clockwise pressure to the cup to keep it from locking on (see the Pulse technique on page 9). With the other hand, give it a quick tap and release as soon as you hear the motor start. For coarser onion or garlic chunks, Pulse only a few times. For a minced consistency, Pulse five or six times. And for a smooth puree, just keep Pulsing, or Lock On (see page 9) until you’ve achieved a smooth, thin consistency.

Notes

When chopping onions and garlic, you may find the Tap Technique (page 9) helpful.

SMOOTHIES

The Magic 10 is perfect for creating delicious, satisfying, frosty smoothies and protein drinks. The best part is that you blend your ingerdients and drink your smoothie out of the very same dis- hwasher-friendly cup … no mess! Plus, the power of the Magic 10 pulverizes ice in a way few blen- ders ever will.

First… Add your favorite smoothie ingredients and ice into the Tall Cup, or Party Mug, and twist on the Cross Blade.

Then… Place the cup onto the Power Base, push down on the cup and twist clockwise until the tabs of the cup fit under the lip of the Power Base and the motor is running consistently (Lock On mode).

Keep blending… until you achieve a smooth consistency. The thickness of the drink will depend on the ingredients you use. You’ll usually be able to hear when it’s done. When all the ice is crushed, the grinding sound will stop and you’ll hear a nice even whirring sound.

Notes

If your smoothie is so thick that the ice or fruit is having a hard time reaching the blade, add more liquid and continue blending.

Tips

Experiment with different smoothie ingre- dients. Smoothies are all about throwing whate- ver fruits, juices, yogurts, or wathever you have around the house, into a cup and giving it a whirl.
