RECIPE TIPS
The simple recipes that follow include some old Cuisinart
®
favorites as well
as some creative combinations that are sure to please your friends and
family. Thanks to the superior ice-crushing power and pre-programmability
of the PowerEdge
™
700-Watt Blender, you’ll also be able to make delicious
frozendrinks.
Chopping Nuts: Place ½ cup shelled nuts in the blender jar and cover
blender. Pulse on High until desired chop is achieved. Pulse fewer times for
coarsely chopped nuts. For best results process small amounts,
½ cup or less.
Bread, Cookie or Cracker Crumbs: Break or cut bread, cookies or
crackersintopieces½inchorlessinsize.Forbestbreadresults,use
day-old bread (drier bread works best). Place bread, cookie or cracker
pieces in blender jar. Pulse on Low to chop, then blend continuously until
desired texture of crumbs is achieved. For best results, process 1 cup or
less at a time.
Crushing Ice: Add up to 8 standard ice cubes to the blender jar.
Cover. Press the pre-programmed Ice Crush button. Timer will sound; turn
blender off.
Grating Fresh Citrus Zest: For best results, blender jar and cutting
assemblymustbecleananddry.Removezestfromfruitinstripsusinga
vegetable peeler; use a sharp knife to remove the bitter white pith from the
undersideofthezest.Processnomorethan8stripsatatime(zestof1
medium lemon). Cut strips in half. Add strips and 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar
or coarse salt (from recipe) to the blender jar. Cover blender jar. Set on High;
blend for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn blender off.
Baby Food: Combine no more than 1 pound of cooked vegetables or
fruit with ½ cup liquid (water, milk, fruit juice, broth, or cooking liquid) in
the blender jar. Cover. Set on Purée. Blend until smooth. Add more liquid
as necessary and process further until desired texture is reached. Always
consult with your pediatrician/family physician concerning the best foods for
your baby and when to introduce new foods to his/her diet.
Grinding Hard Cheese: Cut cheese into ½-inch pieces; remove the outer
hard rind. Place cheese in blender jar and cover blender. Pulse on High to
chop cheese, then blend until desired grind is reached. For best results,
grind no more than 3 ounces of cheese at a time.
Grinding Spices: For best results, blender jar and cutting assembly must
be clean and dry. Add ¼ to ½ cup of spices/seeds/peppercorns to blender
jar. Cover. Pulse on High to break up, then blend until desired consistency
is achieved.
Whipping Cream: If possible, chill blender jar and cutting assembly in
refrigerator for 15 minutes. Add 1 cup heavy or whipping cream to blender
jar. Cover jar. Set on High and blend until cream is thickened. (Do not
overblend – bits of butter will begin to form.) If desired, add 1 tablespoon
