Versatiliy and Using Your Blender
Your Blendtec is more than a blender—it serves a number of other applications in the kitchen, including:
• Blending
This basic function can be used to make smoothies,
blend batters, mixed drinks, whip cream and
emulsify salad dressings.
For basic blending, select desired speed and run
until preferred consistency is reached.
• Wet Grinding
Your blender acts as a wet grinder when grinding foods
that contain moisture, such as soaked grains and raw
meat.
Use your pulse to grind to desired consistency.
Be sure to clean your blender thoroughly after grinding
raw meat to avoid cross-contamination.
• Dry Grinding
Crack or grind legumes or whole grains for use in hot
cereals, baked goods, and breads.
To grind grains, pulse to the desired degree of
fineness or use the manual speed controls, blending
longer for finer grains.
Dry grinding is also used to make bread crumbs or
crush graham crackers. pulse until desired
consistency is reached.
• Juicing Whole Foods
Whole food juice delivers all the health benefits
of both the juice and the fiber found in the fruit or
vegetable.
To create whole juices, blend on hi for 50 seconds.
• Wet Chopping
This is a convenient and easy way of chopping by
using water to circulate the ingredients in the jar.
After straining, use the leftover liquid for smoothies,
sauces, and soups.
For wet chopping, Pulse 8–12 times or until desired
consistency is reached.
• Dry Chopping
Your Blendtec blender can chop nuts, hard cheeses,
coconut, and other hard ingredients easily, quickly,
and with less mess to clean up.
When dry chopping, use the pulse feature or blend
at a medium-high speed. For best results, chop
ingredients in smaller batches.
• Making Frozen Treats
Your Blendtec can make ice cream, sorbet, frozen
yogurt, and more.
For frozen recipes, blend on lo for 15 seconds, then
blend on hi for 50 seconds.
• Kneading
You can use the same jar used to grind grains to
transform your flour and wet ingredients into bread
dough. The blade incorporates the wet and dry
ingredients, then kneads the dough until a ball forms
that is ready to rise and bake.
When kneading dough, use your pulse setting.
