Wet Blade Container: Designed for processing liquids, including juice, frozen mixtures,
sauces, soups, purees, batters, and for wet chopping. The wet blades can also grind grain
and knead dough, but they are not quite as ecient as the dry blades in this application.
If used for grinding, your container will mar and become cloudy; see instructions for dry
container use.
Dry Blade Container: These blades are clearly marked “D” and are designed specifically
for grinding dry materials such as grains, cereal, and coee, and are also used for
kneading bread dough. The dry blades can NOT process liquids eciently. If you grind
herbs on a regular basis, you may wish to purchase a separate dry blade container and
replace blades as needed.
