6.3 ALL ABOUT BLEND CYCLES (see Figure 6 page 16) 1. WHY BLEND CYCLES? In the world of professional blending, many factors go into making delicious blends time after time. In order to blend many different recipes consistently well, Blendtec developed blend cycles to match various blending needs. Because different ingredients have different blending characteristics, each item needs to be considered. Thicker or more fibrous ingredients take longer to blend and must be blended at higher speeds.
