Advice From The Chefs - Cuisinart CBT700E Manual De Instrucciones

4. ADVICE FROM THE CHEFS

• Always add liquid ingredients to the jar fi rst. Then add
the other ingredients. This way the ingredients will be
mixed more evenly.
• Cut most foods into cubes of about 1.5 to 2.5cm for a
more even result.
• Use the measuring cap in the lid to measure liquid
ingredients like alcohol. Replace the cap after
ingredients have been added to the jar. Leave the cap
partly open when processing hot ingredients to allow
steam to escape.
• When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onions, zest,
breadcrumbs, hazelnuts, spices, etc. make sure the jar
and the blade assembly are completely dry.
• If the food tends to stick to the sides of the jar, pulse in
short bursts.
• The pulses should be short. Pause long enough between
bursts to allow the blade to stop turning.
• Don't over process ingredients. This appliance will
usually achieve the desired results in seconds, not
minutes.
• Allow hot foods to cool slightly before processing them,
this will prevent too much steam from accumulating
and lifting the lid. Leave the measuring cap partly open
when processing hot food.
• If the ingredients don't mix easily when processing
cocktails, begin by adding a little liquid.
• This appliance is not appropriate for mashing potatoes
(the potatoes will become rubbery), kneading heavy
pastries (bread,
sweet rolls) or beating egg whites.
How to ?
Grind hazelnuts/almonds/walnuts:
Place 100 g of the shelled nuts in the glass jar, replace
the lid and process in short rapid bursts using
the nuts are ground as desired. For best results, grind
small quantities at a time, e.g. 100g or less.
Grinding bread, cookies or crackers:
Break or cut the bread, cookies or crackers into 1.5cm
pieces or smaller sizes. For best results with bread, use
bread that is a few days old. The drier the bread, the
better the results. Place the pieces of bread, cookie or
cracker in the jar, replace the lid and process in short
bursts by pressing to chop into pieces and then
allow the blender to run until the desired texture has
been achieved. For best results, process small quantities
at once, e.g., 100g or less.
Crush ice:
Place 8 regular-sized ice cubes in the jar. Replace the lid
and press the preprogrammed function
Baby food:
Mix 50 to 100g of cooked vegetables, fruits or meat
with 3 to 4 tablespoons of liquid (water, milk, fruit juice,
bouillon, cooking water) in the jar. Press
until the preparation is smooth. If necessary, add more
liquid and process the food until the desired consistency
has been obtained.
