Helpful blending hints
•Use the processing baton to remove thick mixtures from the container.
•Make caster sugar or pure icing sugar from regular sugar. Simply place up to 2 cups of sugar into the jug and continue to pulse mixture for caster sugar or blend on speed 4 for icing sugar.
•Ice cubes can be blended to make fluffy ice shavings. Place up to 8 large ice cubes into the jug and Pulse until a snow like texture is achieved.
•Achieve crushed ice suitable for snow cones, simply place 1 tray of ice cubes into the jug with approximately 30mls of water and pulse until combined.
•When freezing fruit make sure the fruit is of the best quality. Peel all fruit that has skin that cannot be pureed. Chop fruit into even size chunks approximately 3cm square. If strawberries are large, cut in half. Peel bananas and cut into even size chunks. Lay fruit in a single layer on a tray, cover and freeze. Remove pulp from passionfruit and freeze in ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer into sealable bags or freezer containers. This way you will always have fruit ready to blend.
•When chopping ingredients such as onions, nuts or biscuits use the pulse button.
This helps you to achieve a perfect result without overprocessing.
•Thickened cream can be whipped in seconds. Blend on speed 4 until the mixture thickens then use the processing baton to check the cream for the desired texture.
•Ensure all fruit juices are chilled before blending as this will help to keep drinks colder for longer.
•When making thick shakes don’t use hard ice cream straight from the freezer. Leave ice cream out for approximately 5 minutes before blending, this time may vary depending on how cold your freezer is. Ice cream with a higher cream content may need a little extra milk and always place ice cream in the jug in small pieces, never in large chunks.
Note: Never fill above the maximum level indicator of 2 litres.
Note: Ensure the lid is firmly and securely placed on the jug and do not operate the blender without the lid on. If you wish to add any additional ingredients remove the ingredient cap and add as necessary.
