Useful Tips - Dualit hand blender Instruction Manual

UseFUL tIps

• roughly chop ingredients before blending for best results.
• hold the chopper bowl or mixing jug steady during use, use a high sided bowl for whizzing
even small amounts to prevent splattering.
• the variable speed control can vary the speed of the motor from 7000-16000rpm. for best
results start blending on the lowest setting and gradually increase the blending speed.
• for best results work through the ingredients with a gentle up and down movement of the
main body.
• to store a mixture in the jug, cover and refrigerate as required.

the mixing jug is ideal for whipping up a quick smoothie or making frothy coffee. Blending is
fast, easy and clean. Use the wand for mixtures that include solids such as fruits, ice cream etc.
• Make homemade smoothie in minutes. even fruit which is just past its best can be used. Most
soft fruits are suitable. stir into cereal for a nutritious breakfast. to serve as a drink, pour the
mixture into a glass and add milk, yogurt and/or fruit juice.
• no need to go out for a frothy coffee. Bring some semi-skimmed milk to the boil in a pan
and whizz to a froth using the turbo button. pour into a cup of hot coffee and stir in gently,
also good with instant coffee.
• for homemade hot chocolate, heat a cupful of milk until just boiling. remove from heat and
drop in a couple of blocks of chocolate. Wait for it to soften and then whizz with the dualit
hand blender using the power button, then change to the turbo setting to froth.
WHIsKInG
• ingredients are whisked to incorporate air. By tipping a bowl at a safe angle, even more air
can get into the mixture, resulting in light mixtures and increased volume.
• whisked egg whites provide the base for soufflés, mousses and all types of meringues.
• the mixing bowl must be spotless as a speck of grease will stop egg white from holding air.
Rub the bowl with a cut lemon if you have any doubts.
• start slowly and only use a faster speed when the mixture starts to turn white.

• Chop onions and garlic by putting into the chopper and whizzing, no smelly fingers!
• Grate cheeses in moments, ready for adding to sauces or sprinkling over baked dishes. Chop
into 1.5cm cubes, place in chopper bowl and whizz.
• Produce fresh breadcrumbs with ease. slightly stale white bread makes the fluffiest crumbs.
remove the crusts and cut into cubes. half fill the chopper bowl and whizz until fine. Make in
batches and store in the freezer.
• nourishing, healthy soups can be quickly made in the chopper using cooked leftovers. root
vegetables, tomatoes, pumpkin, squashes and courgettes are all suitable. Use flavourings such
as curry powder, ginger, cumin, or sprigs of thyme, and a dash of soy sauce to add piquancy.
• to obtain the greatest volume when beating egg whites, be sure the bowl and beater are
completely clean and dry before use. the smallest amount of grease or water can prevent
the whites from aerating.
• the term "soft peaks" means that the egg white barely supports itself. when the head of the
mixer is lifted, the egg white mixture will curl and may fall from the beater.
