FEATURES
STAINLESS STEEL CROSS BLADE ASSEMBLY

HELPFUL HINTS


For a coarsely chopped texture, press and release the cup onto the base in short
bursts. This will prevent the ingredients from being chopped too finely and
mushy.

For a paste/puree, press and release the cup on the base for a longer period of
time.

Fruit and vegetables should be precut into approximately 1" (25mm) cubes for
even chopping.

Due to the density of some ingredients, it can make it hard for the ingredients
toward the top of the cup to reach the blades when chopping or mixing. If this
happens, remove the cup from the motor, shake to distribute the ingredients, and
re-blend.

For best results when crushing ice, use the 24oz. cup with the stainless steel cross
blade. Add the ingredients for your smoothie or cocktail, add ice, and blend. Press
and release the container in short bursts.

When blending soups, allow the soup to cool sufficiently before blending. Soup
may need to be blended in batches as the maximum fill mark is 22oz. (675ml) or
30oz. (875ml) for the large cup.

The 32oz cup and the 24oz cup can be used to steam vegetables in the
microwave. Add vegetables to the cup along with a little stock or water and cover
loosely with plastic wrap. Microwave until tender (2-3 min). This is a great way to
make a quick and tasty soup at lunchtime. Just add seasonings, a dash of cream
and blend.
