Lo Lo Lo/Hi Lo/Hi
Technique
Strong up and down motion, adding water/milk/ cooking liquid as needed for
texture. Pieces of even sizes (1/2″ or less) will produce the smoothest
results.
Gentle up and down motion. Begin on Lo, process on Hi if necessary. Do not
over blend.
Cut/break bread/crackers into 1/2″ pieces, process no more than 15 at a time.
Place the hand blender just on top of the bread cubes/cracker pieces; pulse on
Lo. Stop and shake container as necessary. Best bread crumb results with firm
bread, crust removed.
Cut butter/cream cheese into 1/2″ pieces. Let stand at room temperature 20-30
minutes. Add minced garlic, herbs, citrus zest to taste for savory spreads;
add preserves, sugar, honey, extracts for sweet spreads. Pulse on Lo, then
process on Hi to blend completely.
Insert hand blender into ingredients. Run on Lo for 15 seconds, until
thickening begins, then process using gentle up and down motion until desired
thickness is r e a c h e d .
Gentle up and down motion
Gentle up and down motion. Begin on Lo, then process on Hi. Place hand blender
in bottom of mixing beaker, mix on HI -20 seconds, then using gentle upand-
down motion, mix on low for 20-30 seconds.
TECHNIQUES FOR USE
For smooth, even, consistent results, foods should be cut into uniform pieces,
1/2 inch or less. Insert the Cuisinart® Quick Prep® Hand Blender into the food
to be processed and use a gentle up-and-down action for blending, mixing and
puréeing. For some thicker mixtures, a stronger motion may be necessary.
Always keep the blade below the surface of liquid/ingredients to prevent
spatter. Turn the hand blender off before lifting it out of the foods you are
processing.
As you use your Cuisinart® Quick Prep® Hand Blender more, you will find the
best method for your favorite recipes.
TO BLEND, MIX OR PUREE
Insert the Cuisinart® Quick Prep® Hand Blender in the mixture to be processed.
Process on the speed needed to produce optimum results (use EveryDay Uses and
Recipes as a guide). For Shakes/Smoothies, use the 2-cup mixing container that
comes with the hand blender, or a tall pitcher. To mix instant desserts, use a
deep, narrow bowl for best results. For puréeing, use either the mixing
container, an appropriate mixing bowl, or for soups and hot sauces, use the
Quick Prep® Hand Blender right in the pan. Use this technique to prepare
fresh, homemade baby foods from your family favorites (consult your family
physician or pediatrician for appropriate food recommendations).
TO EMULSIFY
(mayonnaise / vinaigrettes)
Place the ingredients in the 2-cup mixing container or an appropriate mixing
bowl. Insert the Quick Prep® Hand Blender into the mixture and run on Lo speed
for 15 seconds, until the mixture begins to thicken. Continue to blend, using
a slow, gentle up-and-down motion, taking care not to lift the mixing blades
above the top surface of the ingredients to avoid spatter. Blend until mixture
has reached the desired thickness.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Always clean the Cuisinart® Quick Prep® Hand Blender thoroughly after each
use. U nplug the unit and hold the blade portion of the Quick Prep® under hot
running water to rinse clean. If food particles are not easily rinsed off the
blade area, use a small spatula or brush to remove particles. Do not use your
fingers as the blade is sharp. NEVER submerge or allow water to run onto the
motor base of the appliance. Wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth and
dry before storing. Wash the mixing container in hot, soapy water and dry
before storing, or conveniently place in the dishwasher after each use.
Cleaning Tip: After preparing oily foods (salad dressing, mayonnaise, etc.),
fill the container with hot soapy water. Unplug the Quick Prep® Hand Blender
and place it in the container in the sinkto soak. Rinse the blade with hot
water.

RECIPE SUGGESTIONS
TIPS FOR USING THE CUISINART® QUICK PREP® HAND BLENDER
· Using a gentle up and down motion in the best way to blend and incorporate
ingredients uniformly.
· Turn the CSB-33 Hand Blender off and let the blade stop completely before
lifting the unit out of the mixture you are processing to avoid spatter.
· Use Lo speed when adding solid ingredients to liquid.
· Adding liquids that are warm, not cold, facilitates blending solids with
liquids.
· For recipes calling for ice, use crushed ice (not whole cubes) for best
results.
· To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under the surface.
· To make a soup creamy in texture, use the CSB-33 Hand Blender to purée the
soup solids to the desired consistency using a gentle up and down motion right
in the saucepan. You can quickly change your soup into a thick and creamy
blend.
· If you are making a dip or spread, it is not necessary to process completely
into a smooth purée, leave some texture for interest.
· When making compound butters, remove the butter from the refrigerator and
let it come to room temperature before blending the ingredients.
· The CSB-33 Hand Blender is perfect for frothing milk for cappuccino or
lattes.
· Use the CSB-33 Hand Blender to make smooth gravies and pan sauces.
· The CSB-33 can be safely used in a saucepan with a nonstick surface as the
blade itself never touches the pan.
· For best results when adding celery to a recipe, use a vegetable peeler to
remove tough outer strings from celery before slicing.

ABOUT THE RECIPES
Preparation times are estimates and are based on the time it takes to prepare,
assemble, and cook the ingredients once they have been gathered from the
refrigerator and cupboard and placed on the counter.
Nutritional analyses are based on number of servings indicated. If a recipe
produces a range of servings or has low/high fat ingredient choices, the
nutritional analysis is based on the highest serving yield using the lowest
fat alternative ingredient for that particular recipe. For best results when
measuring dry ingredients such as flour that may settle, stir flour first,
spoon into measuring cup, then level off with the straight edge of a knife.
