Hints and tips
Use your blender for soups, sauces,
drinks, pates, mayonnaise, dressing
etc.
•
Don’t put dry ingredients into the
blender before switching on. If
necessary, cut them into pieces,
remove the filler cap, then, with the
machine running drop the pieces
through one by one.
Never run the blender with dry
ingredients for longer than 15
seconds. Allow to cool for 5
minutes.
•
When making mayonnaise, put all the
ingredients, except oil, into the
blender. Then with the machine
running, pour the oil slowly into the
blender through the filler cap hole.
•
Thick mixture, eg. pates and dips,
may need scrapping out with the
spatula.
Ensure the appliance is
switched off first.
If the mixture is
difficult to process add more liquid.
•
When blending pour the liquids in
first and then add the solid food.
Begin blending at the lower speed
and increase when needed.
