BEFORE YOU BEGIN NOTE: Always unplug the Quick Prep ® Hand Blender before cleaning the metal blade. Before using the Quick Prep® Hand Blender, Cuisinart suggests that you wipe the unit with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. Place the metal blade end of the hand blender under running water to rinse it. Dry thoroughly with a soft absorbent cloth. Read all instructions completely for detailed operating procedures.
EVERYDAY USES: Food Speed Technique Hi Strong up and down motion, adding water/milk/ cooking liquid as needed for texture. Pieces of even sizes (1/2" or less) will produce the smoothest results. Lo/Hi Gentle up and down motion. Begin on Lo, process on Hi if necessary. Do not over blend. Lo Cut/break bread/crackers into 1/2" pieces, process no more than 15 at a time. Place the hand blender just on top of the bread cubes/cracker pieces; pulse on Lo. Stop and shake container as necessary.
TECHNIQUES FOR USE For smooth, even, consistent results, foods should be cut into uniform pieces, 1/2 inch or less. Insert the Cuisinart® Quick Prep ® Hand Blender into the food to be processed and use a gentle up-and-down action for blending, mixing and puréeing. For some thicker mixtures, a stronger motion may be necessary. Always keep the blade below the surface of liquid/ingredients to prevent spatter. Turn the hand blender off before lifting it out of the foods you are processing.
RECIPE SUGGESTIONS TIPS FOR USING THE CUISINART® QUICK PREP ® HAND BLENDER • Using a gentle up and down motion in the best way to blend and incorporate ingredients uniformly. • Turn the CSB-33 Hand Blender off and let the blade stop completely before lifting the unit out of the mixture you are processing to avoid spatter. • Use Lo speed when adding solid ingredients to liquid. • Adding liquids that are warm, not cold, facilitates blending solids with liquids.
