USING THE STIR TOWER

TIPS AND TRICKS

• For most food preparation, use the flip-
and-stir wand only for best performance.
When preparing larger quantities (near
the MAX FILL line), or for foods like
soups and stews, add the side scraper
to help mix and circulate foods.
• For stirring risotto (Arborio) rice, it is
recommended to stir at least 2–4 cups
(380–760 g) of rice to get the best
flipping and stirring performance.
