BLENDING TIPS & HINTS
The simple recipes that follow include some old Cuisinart favourites as
well as some creative combinations that are sure to please your friends
and family. Thanks to the superior ice crushing power of the Cuisinart
®
Supreme Super 600
™
Blender, you’ll also be able to make delicious
frozen drinks.
Chopping Nuts: Place ½ cup (125 ml) shelled nuts in the blender jar and
cover blender. Select Chop and pulse until desired chop is achieved.
Pulse fewer times for coarsely chopped nuts. For best results process
small amounts, ½ cup (125 ml) or less.
Bread, Cookie or Cracker Crumbs: Break or cut bread, cookies or
crackers into pieces ½ inch (1.25 cm) 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. Select Purée and pulse to chop, then
blend continuously until desired texture of crumbs is achieved. For best
results process 1 cup (250 ml) or less at a time.
Crushing Ice: Add up to 10 standard ice cubes to the blender jar.
Cover. Press the Ice Crush button, using short bursts, 10 times, or until
cubes are the consistency of snow. Press STOP button. Pulse fewer
times if coarsely chopped ice is desired.
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. Cut strips in half. Process no more than 8
strips at a time (zest of 1 medium lemon). Add strips and 1 or more tea
-
spoons
(5 ml) of sugar or coarse salt (from recipe) to the blender jar. Cover
blender jar. Select Purée; blend for 15–20 seconds. Press STOP button.
Baby Food: Combine ½ cup (125 ml) cooked unseasoned or lightly
seasoned vegetables, fruit or meat from the family meal with 3–4
tablespoons (45-60 ml) liquid (water, milk, fruit juice, broth, or cooking
liquid) in the blender jar. Select Liquefy. Blend for 15–20 seconds until a
smooth purée is reached. Add more liquid as necessary and process
further until desired texture is reached. For “junior” type foods, select
Purée and use the pulse. 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 (1.25 cm) pieces;
remove all outer hard rind. Place cheese in blender jar. Select Chop or
Mix.
Pulse to chop cheese, 10–12 times, and blend until desired grind is
reached. For best results, grind no more than 3–4 ounces (85-115 g)of
cheese at a time.
Whipping Cream: If possible, chill blender jar and cutting assembly in
refrigerator for 15 minutes. Add 1 cup (250 ml) heavy or whipping cream
to blender jar. Cover jar. Select Stir (1-second pulses) 20–30 times until
cream is thickened. (Do not overprocess – bits of butter will begin to
appear.) If desired add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sugar and 1–2 teaspoons (5-
10 ml) of vanilla or other flavouring. Consistency with be that of a
thickened but not fluffy whipped cream and is most appropriate for
topping desserts or coffee drinks.
GENERAL USAGE TIPS
• Assemble the blender completely before beginning any blending task,
taking care that the gasket has been inserted to prevent leakage.
• Always take care to place lid firmly on blender container before blending.
• Always turn blender off and allow blades to stop completely before
removing the lid or lifting container from blender.
• For “frozen” drinks, chill all ingredients before blending. This includes
liquor, which may even be kept in the freezer if space allows.
• Keep frozen fruit (whole berries, slices, chunks or pieces of other fruits)
on hand to be able to replace ice to make “frozen,” “slushy,” or
“smoothie” type drinks at any time. Using frozen fruit keeps the drink
from tasting watered down.
• Additional ice cubes or pieces of frozen fruit can be added through the
feeder hole in the lid of the blender while the blender is running.
• For best results, cut foods into similar sized pieces, ½–¾ inches (1.25-2
cm) in size.
• If foods do not seem to be blending smoothly, use the pulse to chop,
then blend continuously.
• Allow hot foods to cool slightly before blending.
• When using the Cuisinart
