TIPS AND HINTS

FOR HAND BLENDER
• Be sure the protective blade guard on the blending shaft is fully
submerged before blending ingredients.
• To purée a soup, use the hand blender to blend the soup
ingredients to the desired consistency, using a gentle up-and-down
motion directly in the saucepan or pot.
• When blending ingredients in a pot or pan, tilt the pan away from
you to create a deeper area for blending and to prevent splatter.
• If blending a small volume of liquid, tilt the container slightly for
better results.
• When using a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to scratch
the coating with the hand blender.
• When blending in the beaker – for example, if making a fruit
smoothie – cut firmer fruit into ½-inch (1.25 cm) pieces for easy
blending.
• When blending in the beaker, put harder ingredients in first, then
soft ingredients. Finish with any liquid you want to add, unless
recipe instructs otherwise.
