F Hints & Tips
Add butter or oil to the non-stick heating plate and allow to melt before frying vegetables.
n
If soup recipes call for cheese or cream to be added at the end of the recipe, don't allow to boil. Most soup will
n
actually be hot enough to melt the cheese using just the stir function rather than adding more heat.
To make low fat soups, use yoghurt or créme fraiche instead of cream or soured cream.
n
If your soup is too thick, thin with a little water or semi-skimmed milk when blending. Do not exceed 1.4L.
n
If you are making tomato soup and your tomatoes are too pale or under ripe, add 1tbsp of tomato purée to
n
add colour and flavour.
Cut most foods into cubes approximately 1.5-2.5cm to achieve a more uniform result. Cut all cheese into pieces
n
no larger than 1.5cm.
Use the measuring cup in the lid to measure liquid ingredients such as alcohol. Always replace after ingredients
n
have been added.
When using the Soup Maker as a traditional blender, in order to achieve best results when chopping fresh herbs,
n
garlic, onions, citrus zest, bread crumbs, nuts and spices, make sure the glass jar and blades are completely dry
to achieve best results.
If food tends to stick to the sides of the glass jar when blending, pulse in short bursts.
n
Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses so the blades stop rotating between pulses.
n
Don't over process foods. This appliance will achieve most desired results in seconds not minutes.
n
For frozen drinks, chill all ingredients before blending.
n
If foods do not seem to be blending smoothly, use the Pulse function to chop then blend continuously.
n
If in any doubt about what's happening, switch off the Soup Maker and refer to this Instruction Book or call our
