AddITIONAL USES
• Use for drinks or cocktail making, emulsions such as mayonnaise, dressings, marinades
and foods that require mixing until just combined, such as batters, also for pureeing
soups and aerating liquids.
• Use to blend fruits, ice cream and yoghurts into thick smoothies, whips and milkshakes.
• Use the Pulse function for foods that only require short bursts of power such as chopping
nuts and crushing ice.
• Use the Pulse function with short bursts of power, when blending drinks containing ice
cubes or frozen fruit.
• Ensure all foods are cut into cubes (approx. 1 inch square) where appropriate to
achieve an even result.
• Do not put more than 2 cups of warm ingredients into the Omega Blender before
blending commences. After the blending process has begun and the blades are
turning you may slowly add another 1½ cups of ingredients through the opening in the
lid if desired.
• Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if the Omega Blender is ¼ to ½ full.
• When using several ingredients, place liquid ingredients in the Eastman Tritan™ Container
before solid ingredients, unless specified in the recipe. When blending thick or dry mixtures it
may be necessary to stop your Omega blender and scrape down the sides of the container
with a plastic or rubber spatula, once or twice during blending. Do not use metal utensils as
they may damage the blades or blender.
