steam to escape. With protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place
hand on top of blender jar lid while blending hot liquids. Beginning

Superfine Sugar
Place 1 cup (250 ml) regular granulated sugar in blender jar. Blend for 30
seconds to make superfine sugar which dissolves instantly in iced tea.
Thickened Whipping Cream
The blender will not whip cream but produces a spoonable topping.
Pour 1 cup (250 ml) heavy or whipping cream in blender jar. Blend for
20 seconds or until thickened.
Crushing Ice
For best performance, when a recipe calls for liquid, place the liquid
in blender jar followed by the ice cubes. Ensure ice cubes are sepa-
rated. When only crushed ice is desired, add 1 cup (250 ml) of ice
cubes to jar. Place lid on blender jar then Pulse. Allow blades to come
to a complete stop between pulses. Continue until ice is crushed to
desired consistency. For best results always crush ice immediately
after removing from freezer.
