TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS • If you’re making beverages using ice, start with CRUSH ICE ( ), then finish with LIQUIFY ( ) in order to produce a smoother texture. • Ice directly from the freezer will crush better than partially melted ice for snow. • Smaller ice cubes can be chopped or crushed faster than large ones. • For many ingredient mixtures, start the blending process at CHOP ( ) to thoroughly combine the ingredients. Then increase to a higher speed, as desired.
TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS Prepare pancake or waffle batter from mix: Place mix and other ingredients in pitcher. Cover and blend at MIX ( ) until well-mixed, 10 to 20 seconds.
