considered� For example, thick and fibrous ingredients need to blend
longer and at higher speeds than other ingredients� The Home Blender’s
blend cycles were developed based on these principles� With these blend
cycles, you can make a virtually limitless number of recipes and achieve
consistently impressive results�
How will blend cycles help my recipes? Blend cycles allow the Home
Blender to produce consistent results across a wider range of recipes than
any competitors’ blenders� During a cycle, the Home Blender will speed
up and slow down in a specific pattern based on the desired end results�
However, factors like the temperature of ingredients and the amount of liquid
used will create different blending characteristics� The Fresh Blends recipe
book is designed for the typical amounts of liquid in and temperatures of
ingredients� If your ingredients differ from the typical characteristics, you
may need to include more or less ice or other ingredients� For example, if a
drink is too thick to blend adequately, reduce the ice a little or replace the
ice with water or another liquid� The difference in blending will be obvious�
With the unique blend cycles, combined with the high-powered motor,
patented square jar, single-prong wingtip blade, and direct-drive coupling,
the Home Blender will blend faster and more easily than other blenders�
You will have a great blending experience and enjoy the delicious results�
