How to Use the Appliance
Smartspeed Switch for Variable Speeds
- One squeeze, all speeds: The more you press, the higher the speed. The higher the speed, the faster and finer the blending and chopping results.
- One-handed operation: the Smartspeed switch (1) allows you to turn on the appliance and control the speed with one hand.
ActiveBlade Shaft (A)
The hand blender is equipped with an ActiveBlade shaft, which enables the knife to extend to the bottom of the bell. The adjustment is made automatically by the pressure required in blending tasks, especially suited to mixing hard foods e.g raw fruits and vegetables. It is also perfectly suited for preparing dips, sauces, salad dressings, soups, and baby food, as well as drinks, smoothies, and milkshakes. For best results, use the highest speed.
Assembly and Operation
- Attach the ActiveBlade shaft (4) to the motor part until it clicks.
- Place the ActiveBlade shaft into the mixture to be blended. Then switch the appliance on as described above.
- Blend ingredients to the desired consistency using a gentle up-and-down motion. Depending on the pressure applied, the ActiveBlade shaft will depress and the blade will extend.
- After use, unplug the hand blender and press the EasyClick Plus release buttons (3) to detach the ActiveBlade shaft.
Caution
- Do not let liquids or ingredients overlap the green line of the ActiveBlade shaft.
- If using the appliance to purée hot food in a saucepan or pot, remove the saucepan or pot from the heat source and ensure the liquid is not boiling. Allow hot food to cool slightly to avoid risk of scalding.
- Do not let the hand blender sit in a hot pan on the cooktop when not in use.
- Do not scratch the ActiveBlade shaft over the bottom of the pans and pots.
Recipe Example: Mayonnaise 250 g oil (e.g. sunflower oil) 1 egg and 1 extra egg yolk 1–2 tbsp. Vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
- Place all ingredients (at room temperature) into the beaker in the order above.
- Place the hand blender at the bottom of the beaker. Blend at maximum speed until the oil starts emulsifying.
- With the hand blender still running, slowly raise the shaft to the top of the mixture and back down to incorporate the rest of the oil.
NOTE: Processing time: approx. 1 minute for salads and up to 2 minutes for a thicker mayonnaise (e.g. for dip).
Whisk Accessory (A)
Use the whisk only for whipping cream, beating egg whites, making sponge cakes, and ready-mix desserts.
Assembly and Operation
- Attach the whisk (6b) to the gearbox (6a).
- Align the motor part with the assembled whisk accessory and push the pieces together until they click.
- After use, unplug and press the EasyClick Plus release buttons to detach the motor part. Then pull the whisk out of the gearbox.
Tips for Best Results
- Move the whisk clockwise while holding it at a slight incline.
- To prevent splattering, start slowly and use the whisk accessory in deep containers or pans.
- Place the whisk in a bowl and only then switch the appliance on.
- Always ensure the whisk and mixing bowl are completely clean and free of fat before whisking egg whites. Only whip up to 4 egg whites.
Recipe Example: Whipped Cream 400 ml chilled cream (min. 30% fat content, 4 – 8 °C)
- Start with low speed (light pressure on the switch) and increase the speed (more pressure on the switch) while whipping.
- Always use fresh chilled cream to achieve greater and more stable volume when whisking.

FAQ’s
Braun MultiQuick7 MQ7087x – does it grate carrots or cheese?
Yes, the item is able to grate cheese and carrots, if you are using the kitchen machine accessories or the chopper.
Is Braun a good brand of hand blender?
The Braun MultiQuick 7 is a better immersion blender than the Cuisinart Smart Stick Two-Speed Hand Blender. It’s much sturdier, quieter, and more capable of blending thick mixtures like nut butter.
What can a hand blender be used for?
Think pureed soups, fruity smoothies, custom aiolis, fresh pestos, baby food, and more. With the addition of accessories, some hand blenders can even chop nuts, veggies, and more, as well as whip fresh cream or eggs for meringue.
How many watts is a Braun hand mixer?
Braun’s best-performing and most powerful now features a high-performance 1200-watt motor and ActiveBlade Technology that lets you easily turn the toughest ingredients into the most delicious creations.
Can we use a hand blender for hot things?
A handheld immersion blender is the easiest (and often safest) way to purée hot soups on the stove and is often a low-cost investment for any kitchen. Just be sure to keep the head of the blender immersed in the hot liquid when blending.
How do I clean my Braun blender?
There’s an easy way to clean an immersion blender that’s actually kind of fun. After blending your recipe (like this creamy soup), fill a tall glass about three-quarters full with warm soapy water. Run the blender in the water for 10 to 20 seconds. If needed, empty and refill the glass and repeat.
How many watts is Braun Multiquick 7?
It consumes 750 watts.
What is the best Braun hand blender model?
With a 1,200W motor and bundles of accessories, the Braun MultiQuick 9 is quite simply one of the best hand blenders you can buy right now. It not only blends but also chops, slices, grates, and purees.
What is the safety of a hand blender?
Stop the machine and unplug it then rinse the container and lid well with hot water and wipe dry. Never place utensils in the blender when the motor is running. Turn off the blender and unplug the blender first before using a scraper or spatula. Never place your hand in a blender unless the blender is unplugged.
What are the limitations of a hand blender?
One con is that they are difficult to use on stiff foods and very thick liquids, especially in big batches. You also have to be very careful in using handheld blenders because, even though they are easy to use, there is a possibility that you might spill food in the process of blending them.
What is a hand blender called?
Immersion blenders — also called hand blenders, stick blenders, or wand mixers — give you the freedom to blend and puree foods without needing to transfer them to a full-size blender. Some are constructed as a single piece — the motor cannot be removed from the blender arm that houses the blades.
What is the capacity of a hand mixer?
Mixer arm designed to work in recipients of up to 12 liters. Beater with capacity for 2 to 30 egg whites.
Can hand blender blend spices?
Blending whole spices: Blending whole spices in a hand blender may reduce the efficiency of the appliance. Moreover, whole spices prevent the proper functioning of the blades. It can even reduce the durability of this versatile appliance. Thus, it is recommended not to use this tool for crushing spices.
How do I clean my blender daily?
For the best results, fill your blender jar with equal parts water and baking soda first. Turn on the blender for a couple of seconds, discard the solution, then add your warm water and soap. The extra step may take more than 30 seconds, but if you have crusted pancake batter all over your blender, it’s worth it.
What is the difference between a hand blender?
The primary differences between hand mixers and immersion blenders are their design and the types of foods they can help create. While a hand mixer primarily combines wet and dry ingredients using two beaters or a whisk, an immersion blender features blades to blend or puree ingredients, or to chop nuts and produce.
