BLENDING TIPS
HOW TO
USE A RUBBER SPATULA WITH YOUR SUNBEAM
®
BLENDER
When blending ingredients of a heavy consistency such as cheese dips and sandwich
spreads, it is necessary to use a rubber spatula to help the mixture get down to the blades.
To use spatula, turn motor off, remove the cover, move the spatula up and down rapidly
along sides of the container, and push the ingredients from the sides of the container
to the centre.
ICE
CRUSH
To crush ice, fill Sunbeam Blender Container with 3 cups of ice cubes.
Use liquefy Setting or Pulse/Ice Crush feature to crush ice. For shaved ice,
process for longer period of time.
WHITE SAUCE
To smooth gravy or white sauce which may be lumpy, put 1/2 cup (125 ml) into Blender
container, cover and start processing at STIR (ON) Remove feeder cap, and with motor
running, gradually add remaining gravy or sauce. Continue to process until smooth.
CHOPPING GIBLETS
To chop giblets for gravy, cook the giblets in water or broth, then cool to room temperature.
Cut giblets into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces, put in Blender container and cover with cooled
cooking liquid. Cover container, and process 2 cycles at BLEND (ON). (If giblets are not
chopped finely enough, process for one or two additional cycles.)
MAKING BUTTER
Heavy cream, sweet or sour can be used to make butter – pour into Blender container.
Cover and process at WHIP (ON) until butter forms. Pour into strainer to drain off liquid,
then put butter into small bowl and press with spatula to remove as much liquid as
possible. Add salt while kneading butter. Try adding 1 Tbsp. (15 ml) dried herbs
(parsley, tarragon, savory or a garlic clove) per cup (250 ml) of cream for
a delightful herb butter.
GRINDING POPPY SEEDS
To grind poppy seeds for fillings, place 1/2 cup (125 ml) poppy seeds in jar and process at
Blend (ON) until seeds are crushed and moist. Stop Blender once or twice to shake down
seeds from top of container.
G
RATING COCONUT
