SMOOTHIE
•
The SMOOTHIE setting was designed for pourable beverages made with liquid, fruits
or vegetables, and a frozen component (ice or frozen fruit). For best results when using
the SMOOTHIE setting, add liquids first, then ingredients softer to harder. Add frozen
ingredients and ice last. To achieve a pourable consistency and to keep the Blender
running smoothly, the following guidelines should be used:
Ideally there should be 1½ cups (355 ml) liquid for every 2 cups (473 ml) of ice or
1.
frozen fruit. A higher ratio of frozen ingredients may cause cavitation. Use the tamper
to push ingredients toward the blade during the cycle if needed.
For best results, use at least 1 cup (237 ml) of liquid for every 1 cup (237 ml) of leafy
2.
greens. If using a larger quantity of leafy greens, after blending on the SMOOTHIE
setting, you may want to blend 20 seconds longer on high to achieve an extra silky
smoothie or use VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL to blend to your desired consistency.
Juicy fresh fruits such as grapes, oranges, strawberries, pineapple, and melons are
considered as a liquid for purposes of achieving the proper ratio of liquids to frozen
ingredients or leafy greens.
ICE CRUSH
•
Different types of ice may require different methods of crushing depending on the
quantity of ice.
•
To crush crescent-shaped ice produced by most home ice makers and the cube ice
made in trays, make sure the blender jar is dry, add no more than 5 cups (1.2 L) of ice,
and run the ICE CRUSH cycle. This will produce a dry, fluffy ice perfect for snow cones.
•
Cubes produced by undercounter or commercial ice machines and bagged ice is wetter
and requires a different method. To crush wet ice, fill the blender jar with the desired
amount of ice. It can be filled to the 8-cup capacity line. Next add water to the blender jar
until the ice floats above the blades. Run the ICE CRUSH cycle. Drain off excess water.
This will produce a wet ice that is perfect for frozen drinks. Wet ice may also be crushed
without using water if the Blender is filled with no more than 4 cups (946 ml) of ice.
PUREE
•
The PUREE setting is best used to achieve a smooth consistency when blending cooked
or soft fruits and vegetables, for making creamy dips such as hummus, and for grinding
grains.
•
Blend fresh whole juices (without frozen ingredients) on the PUREE setting for best
results.
SOUP
•
Do not blend more than 6 cups (1420 ml) on this program.
•
When making soups, start with cold or room-temperature ingredients.
•
Emulsion cap assembly can be kept in lid.
