USING VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL

& THE POWER BLENDER & PROCESSOR PITCHER
NOTE: If using the dough blade assembly, only use the flat lid and speed 1.
START SLOW
Always start at a low speed (1–3) to better incorporate ingredients and prevent them from
sticking to the side of the vessel.
DIAL UP THE SPEED
Smoother blends call for higher speeds. Low speeds are great for chopping veggies and
mixing dough, but you'll need to ramp up for purees and dressings.
HIGH-SPEED BLENDING
Blend until you get your desired consistency. The longer you blend, the better the
breakdown and smoother the outcome will be.
