Handy Blending Hints • Nothing can beat a blender for making smooth purees and sauces or for whipping up frothy drinks - from healthy breakfast shakes to frozen daiquiris. • Use your blender for chopping small amounts of food like nuts, bread crumbs and whole spices. • Turn any oil-based salad dressing into a creamy style dressing by blending it until slightly thickened. • A brief whirl in the blender will rescue a lumpy gravy, or an egg-based sauce that has separated.
Care and Cleaning Quick cleaning method Half fill the blender with warm water and a small amount of detergent. Turn the control dial to the ‘Pulse’ function and hold for 1-2 seconds. Repeat 3-4 times. Then remove the jug and rinse it under running water. Remove the rubber seal from the blade assembly. Wash the blender lid, measuring cup, rubber seal, blade assembly and blender jug in warm soapy water. Caution: Take care when cleaning the blades, as they are extremely sharp.
