HANDY BLENDING HINTS
y A brief whirl in the blender will rescue lumpy gravy, or an eggs-based sauce that has separated.
y Food items for blending should be cut into cubes (approximately 2-3 cm), this will assist in achieving an even
result.
y Never fill the blender jug above the maximum level indicator.
y To ensure efficient mixing when blending dry mixtures, it may be necessary to stop the blender and push
ingredients down the sides of the jug with a spatula.
y When pureeing fruit or vegetable, cooked or raw, cut into small pieces to facilitate blending.
y When blending a variety of ingredients together, blend the liquids first, then add dry ingredient.
y Always ensure stones are removed from fruit and bones from meat as these can harm the blades.
y Do not process hot liquids in your blender. Allow to cool before processing.
y Always ventilate the blender jug when pureeing warm ingredients. This is achieved by lifting the measuring cup out
of the lid, after starting the blender.
