• G rinding Hard Cheese - Cut cheese into ½ inch
(1.3 cm) pieces; remove all outer hard rind. Put
cheese into blender jar. Pulse 3 to 4 times to break
up cheese. Blend on Speed 3 to 4 until desired grind
is reached. For best results, grind no more than 3
ounces (85 g) of cheese at a time.
• G rinding Spices - For best results, blender jar and
cutting assembly must be clean and dry. Put ¼ to ½
cup (50-125 mL) of spices/seeds/peppercorns into
blender jar. Pulse 3 to 4 times to break up and then
blend on Speed 2 to 3 for about 20 to 40 seconds.
• W hipping Cream - If possible, chill blender jar and
cutting assembly in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Put 1
cup (250 mL) heavy or whipping cream into blender
jar. Cover. Blend on Speed 1 for about 1 minute. (Do
not overblend – bits of butter will begin to form.) If
desired, add 1 tablespoon (15 mL) sugar and 1 to
2 teaspoons (5-10 mL) of vanilla or other flavouring.
Consistency with be that of a thickened but not fluffy
whipped cream, and is most appropriate for topping
desserts or coffee drinks.
• K eep your blender out on the counter within easy
reach, and you will be surprised how often you will
use it.
• K eep ice cubes made of juices, yogurt, milk or fruit
purées on hand to substitute for plain ice when
making smoothies and frosty beverages to prevent
diluting the drink.
• F or quick cleaning, add 1 cup (250 mL) of warm
water and a drop of liquid dish soap to the blender
jar. Cover and Blend on Speed 1 for 30 seconds or
more as needed. Discard the soapy water and rinse
