BLENDER BASICS

VERSATILITY

Blendtec is more than a blender— it can be used for a number of other applications in the kitchen as well, including:
Blending
This basic function can be used to make smoothies, batters, mixed
drinks, whip cream and salad dressings.
For basic blending, select desired speed and run until preferred
consistency is reached.
Wet Grinding
The blender acts as a wet grinder when grinding foods that contain
moisture, such as soaked grains and raw meat.
Use the pulse feature to grind to desired consistency.
Be sure to clean the blender thoroughly after grinding raw meat
to avoid cross-contamination.
Dry Grinding
Crack or grind legumes or whole grains for use in hot cereals, baked
goods, and breads.
To grind grains, pulse to the desired degree of fineness or use the
manual speed controls, blending longer for finer grains.
Dry grinding is also used to make bread crumbs or crush graham
crackers. Pulse until desired consistency is reached.
Juicing Whole Foods
Whole food juice delivers all the health benefits of both the juice and
the fiber found in the fruit or vegetable.
To create whole juices, blend on high for 50 seconds.

Wet Chopping
Wet chopping is an easy way to chop ingredients such as carrots and
celery. Simply add water in with the food item you want to chop to
help the ingredients circulate in the jar. After you finish chopping,
strain out your chopped ingredients. You can also use the leftover
liquid for smoothies, sauces, and soups .
For wet chopping, Pulse 8–12 times or until desired consistency
is reached.
Dry Chopping
The blender can chop nuts, hard cheeses, coconut, and other
hard ingredients easily, quickly, and with less mess to clean up.
When dry chopping, use the pulse feature or blend at a
medium-high speed. For best results, chop ingredients in
small batches.
Making Frozen Treats
The blender can make soft-serve ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt,
and more. For frozen recipes, blend on low for 15 seconds, then
blend on medium to high until desired consistency is reached.
Batters
After grinding grains, the same jar can be used to combine
flour and wet ingredients into batters.
