RECIPE TIPS

The simple recipes that follow include some old Cuisinart® favorites as well as some creative combinations that are sure to please your friends and family. Thanks to the superior ice-crushing power and pre-programmability of the PowerEdge® 1.3 HP Blender, you’ll also be able to make delicious frozen drinks effortlessly.

Chopping Nuts: Place shelled nuts in the blender jar and cover blender. Use pre-programmed Pulse on High until desired chop is achieved. Pulse fewer times for coarsely chopped nuts. For best results process small amounts, ½ cup or less.

Bread, Cookie or Cracker Crumbs: Break or cut bread, cookies or crackers into pieces ½ inch or less in size. For best bread results, use day-old bread (drier bread works best). Place bread, cookie or cracker pieces in blender jar. Use Pulse on High to chop, then blend continuously on Low until desired texture of crumbs is achieved. For best results, process 1 cup or less at a time.

Crushing Ice: Add up to 8 standard ice cubes to the blender jar. Cover. Press the pre-programmed Ice Crush button. Timer will sound; turn blender off.

Grating Fresh Citrus Zest: For best results, blender jar and blade assembly must be clean and dry. Remove zest from fruit in strips using a vegetable peeler; use a sharp knife to remove the bitter white pith from the underside of the zest. Process no more than 8 strips at a time (zest of 1 medium lemon). Cut strips in half. Add strips and 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar or coarse salt (from recipe) to the blender jar. Cover blender jar. Set on High; blend for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn blender off.

Baby Food: Combine no more than 1 pound of cooked vegetables or fruit with ½ cup liquid (water, milk, fruit juice, broth, or cooking liquid) in the blender jar. Cover. Set on High. Blend until smooth. Add more liquid as necessary and process further until desired texture is reached. Always consult with your pediatrician/family physician concerning the best foods for your baby and when to introduce new foods to his/her diet.

Grinding Hard Cheese: Cut cheese into ½-inch pieces; remove the outer hard rind. Place cheese in blender jar and cover blender. Pulse to chop cheese, then blend on High until desired grind is reached. For best results, grind no more than 3 ounces of cheese at a time.

Grinding Spices: For best results, blender jar and blade assembly must be clean and dry. Add ¼ to ½ cup of spices/seeds/peppercorns to blender jar. Cover. Pulse on High to break up, then blend on High until desired consistency is achieved.

Whipping Cream: If possible, chill blender jar and blade assembly in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Add 1 cup heavy or whipping cream to blender jar. Cover jar. Set on High and blend until cream is thickened. (Do not
