Helpful Blending Hints

• Use the processing baton to remove thick
mixtures from the blending jug.
• Make caster sugar or pure icing sugar from
regular sugar. Simply place up to 2 cups
of sugar into the jug and continue to pulse
mixture for caster sugar or blend on speed
4 for icing sugar.
• Place up to 1 tray (12) large ice cubes into
the jug. Use the 'Ice Crush' function to
make fluffy snow cones.
• Freezing fresh fruit will ensure you always
have fruit on hand and ready to blend.
• Peel and chop fruit as necessary before
freezing.
• Frozen bananas add "creaminess" to
smoothies.
• Freeze passionfruit pulp in ice cube trays
for easy portion control.
• When chopping ingredients such as nuts or
biscuits use the 'Pulse' button. This helps
you to achieve a perfect result without
overprocessing.
• Thickened cream can be whipped in
seconds. Blend on speed 4 until the
mixture thickens then use the processing
baton to check the cream for the desired
texture.
• Ensure all fruit juices are chilled before
blending as this will help to keep drinks
cold for longer.
• When making thick shakes, don't use
hard ice cream straight from the freezer.
Leave ice cream out for approximately 5
minutes before blending, this time may
vary depending on how cold your freezer
is. If using ice cream with a higher cream
content you may need a little extra milk.
Always place ice cream in the jug in small
pieces, never in large chunks.

• Never blend warm/hot ingredients.
Always allow ingredients to cool to room
temperature before blending.
• Never fill above the maximum level
indicator of 2 litres.
• Ensure the lid is firmly and securely
placed on the jug and do not operate the
blender without the lid on. If you wish to
add any additional ingredients remove the
measuring cap and add as necessary.
• In the smoothie and milkshake recipes in
this booklet, soy, skim, light or full cream
milk can be used.
• When making cocktails or other drinks with
more than 6 ice cubes, use the 'Ice Crush'
function.
