avoid spray/splashing
11 To avoid spraying or splashing outside the container:
a) hold the wand straight
b) don’t switch on till it’s well inside the food container
c) switch off before lifting it out of the container
d) with liquids, switch on and off with the blade under the
surface
caution – hot liquids
12 Take great care when working with hot liquids:
a) best of all, don’t – there’s rarely any need to blend hot
liquids
b) blend before you heat – the wand is powerful enough
to cope with most vegetables
c) blend while the liquid cools – you’re not going to serve
it boiling, are you?
d) if you’ve no option, don’t let the blade break the surface
e) don’t use the wand in hot oil
, While you may be able to stand fairly hot water, oil at the
same temperature will cause painful burns. Water can be
thrown off immediately and the skin will rapidly cool, but
oil will stick to the skin and blister it.
