Problem with the recipes
A few basic rules make it easier to understand how a blender works and thus know how
to adapt the recipe cycles to the products being processed.
Note:
Do not overload the appliance: it is better to run a short recipe twice rather than
double the quantities and cycle time: prolonged operation heats the food due to friction
and affects the desired texture with the recipe.
The final mixture is too hot. Once an evenly mixed texture has been obtained, carrying
on blending will make the food heat up:
reduce the speed or recipe time.
The final mixture is not even in texture:
•
the recipe is not appropriate for the quantity and products processed; reduce the
quantity of food in the jar, increase the cycle time, use smaller pieces of food
(having evenly sized pieces of food makes it easier to carry out the recipe).
•
Liquid is needed to make the solid food reach the blade. Increase the amount of
liquid, pour in the liquid before adding the solid foods.
Ice cubes remain stuck to the jar walls:
•
Reduce the quantity of ice cubes when they are processed without any liquid
•
It is better to add liquid with the ice cubes, always putting the liquid in first.
The mixture "bounces" fast up and down the jar:
•
Reduce the speed to adapt it to the quantity being processed so that the blade is
constantly immersed in the mixture. The recipe will take place more quickly and
the mixture will be more even.
High speeds are not suitable for recipes with small quantities
•
Increase the amount of product being processed.
