TIPS AND HINTS
FOR HAND BLENDER
• Be sure that blending blade guard is fully submerged before blending
ingredients.
• To purée a soup, use the hand blender to blend the soup ingredients to
the desired consistency, using a gentle up-and-down motion right in
the saucepan or pot.
• When blending ingredients right in a pot or pan tilt the pan away from
you to create a deeper area for blending to prevent splatter.
• When using a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to scratch the
coating with the hand blender.
• When blending into the blending cup, for example when making a fruit
smoothie, cut most solid foods into ½ inch pieces for easy blending.
• Use the hand blender to make smooth gravies and pan sauces.
• Do not immerse motor body housing in water or any other liquid.
• When blending in the mixing cup, pour liquid ingredients in first, unless
recipe instructs otherwise.
• The hand blender is perfect for frothing milk for cappuccino or lattés.
Just warm milk in a small saucepan, and then pulse the hand blender
gently, being sure to keep the blending blade guard fully submerged.
• Do not let hand blender stand in a hot pot on stove while not in use.
• Do not attempt to blend fruit pits, bones or other hard materials as
these are liable to damage the blades.
• Do not fill mixing containers too full. The level of mixture will rise when
blending and can overflow.
• To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under the surface.
• Using a gentle up-and-down motion is the best way to blend and
incorporate ingredients uniformly.
• Liquid should not come closer than 1-inch of where the shaft attaches
to the motor housing.
