Blending Tips and Tricks
•
Cut food into pieces no larger
than 3⁄4" for use in the blender.

When preparing foods that
have several different kinds of
ingredients, always add liquid
ingredients first.
•
When ingredients splatter onto
the sides of the jar or the mixture
is very thick, press Stop ( ) to turn
appliance off. Remove the lid and
use a rubber spatula to scrape
down the sides of the jar and to
redistribute the food, pushing
food toward the blades. Replace
the lid and continue blending.

When making bread crumbs make
sure blender jar is completely dry.

When using PULSE function; use
short bursts. Allow the blades to
stop rotating between pulses. Do
