When using the blender to purée hot mixtures such as creamed
soups and baby foods, strain the solids from the liquid, reserving
the cooking liquid. Then place the cooked solids in the blender jar
along with 1/2 to 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid. Use the
Pulse function to chop, then blend until desired consistency/purée
is reached.
Allow hot foods to cool slightly before blending to prevent steam
buildup which may cause the lid to lift up from the blender jar.
Keep your blender out on the counter within easy reach and you
will be surprised how often you will use it.
Keep ice cubes made of juices, yogurt, milk or fruit purées on
hand to substitute for plain ice when making smoothies and
frosty beverages to prevent diluting the drink.
For quick cleaning, add 1 cup of warm water and a drop of liquid
dish soap to the blender jar. Cover and blend on Low or High for
30 seconds or more as needed. Discard the soapy water and rinse
blender thoroughly before the next use.
