IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Before using the electrical appliance, the included basic precautions should always be followed:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE IMMERSION BLENDER.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid. Ensure that appliance does not get wet (water splashes etc.) and do not use it with wet hands.
3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory,or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. You might accidentally start the appliance if the unit is still plugged into the outlet and cause serious personal  injury.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts. Blades are sharp and spin at a high speed and can cause injuries.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return immersion blender to the nearest authorized service facility for  examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment. A damaged appliance may cause serious personal injury, start fires, or cause property damage.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer  may cause fire, electric shock or injury. Only items designed for use with this appliance should be used at all times.
8. Do not use outdoors. This unit is designed to be used only indoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. The cord can get tangled or cause the appliance to fall.
10. Do not let cord contact hot surface, including the stove. The protective insulation will burn making the appliance inoperable or unsafe to operate.
11. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or make small quantities at a time to reduce spillage. Hot liquids can spill and cause burns.
12. Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to prevent the possibility of severe injury to persons or damage to the unit.  A scraper may be used but must be used only when the unit is not running.
13. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully. Use the blade’s collar to handle. Touching the blades can cause injuries.

• Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used :
  • The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
  • If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type3-wire cord.
  • The longer cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.C

Recipes

Mayonnaise

• 1 large egg
• 1 cup light tasting Olive Oil
• 2-3 teaspoons of lemon or lime juice (about half of a lemon/lime)
• A generous pinch of salt
  Place all the ingredients into a jar and using the blending shaft run on Low until the mixture starts thickening. Process for 5 more seconds using a gentle up and down motion until
  the desired consistency is reached.

Hollandaise Sauce

• 2 egg yolks
• 2 ⁄3 tablespoon water
• 2 ⁄3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 4-5 1⁄3 ounces very soft unsalted butter
• Cayenne pepper, salt to taste
• White pepper to taste

1. Whisk the yolks, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan until the mix becomes thick and pale. Set the pan over moderately low heat and continue to whisk at low speed. Make sure to reach all angles of the bowl. To prevent over cooking, move the pan frequently off the burner for a few seconds, and then back on. Sit the pan on cold water to lower the temperature, if needed.
2. As they cook, the eggs will become frothy, increase in volume, and then thicken. Keep whisking on low speed and remove from the heat when you can see the bottom  of the pan through the streaks of the whisk and the eggs are thick and smooth.
3. Add a spoonful of soft butter and whisk constantly to incorporate each addition. As the emulsion forms, you may add the butter in slightly larger amounts and whisk until fully absorbed. Continue incorporating butter until the sauce has thickened to  the desired consistency.
4. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and a dash of cayenne pepper. Whisk well.  Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add droplets of lemon juice if needed.

Strawberry Vanilla Cake in a Mug

• 1 tablespoon butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons strawberries, diced
• Sprinkle of confectioner’s sugar

1. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients (except strawberries). Whisk in high until batter is just smooth, but do not overmix. Gently fold in the strawberries.
2. Spray a 12oz; microwave-safe mug with cooking spray and pour the mixture into the mug. Fill half of the cup so there is enough space for the cake to rise.
3. Microwave on high for 75 to 90 seconds, or until done. Sprinkle confectioner’s sugar
   on top and enjoy.

Broccoli cheese soup

• 2 cups of broccoli cuts
• 3 tablespoons of butter
• 1/2 cup of diced onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 cups of chicken stock (use vegetable stock if preferred)
• 4 oz of American cheese, cubed
• 4 oz of cheese sauce
• 1 cup of milk
• 1/4 tbsp. garlic powder
• 1/3 cup of cornstarch

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over low-medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic and stir occasionally until the onion becomes transparent. Add broccoli and chicken broth;  let it simmer until the broccoli is tender.
2. While the broccoli is cooking; whisk the milk, the garlic powder and the cornstarch in a separate bowl until a uniform, lump free sauce is reached. Heat the mixture for 20 seconds in the microwave. Set aside.
3. Reduce the heat, add the American cheese as well as the cheese sauce. Stir constantly until the cheeses have melted.
4. Remove the pot from the stove and using the immersion blender puree the soup to desired consistency. Add the milk mixture to the soup until the desired consistency is reached.

Meringue

• 4 egg whites, at room temperature
• Pinch salt (or cream tartar)
• 1 cup of caster sugar

1. Preheat oven to 120°C (248F). Measure and prepare all your ingredients in advance.
   Line 2 large baking trays with non-stick baking paper.

2. Separate the egg white from the yolks. Place the egg whites and the salt in a large and dry mixing bowl. Use the whisk attachment on the immersion blender to whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the sugar gradually, a spoonful at a time, and just combine.

3. After all the sugar has been added, continue to whisk until the mixture is very thick and glossy. The sugar has to be dissolved and a long trailing peak should form when the whisk is lifted. Do not overbeat. Spoon the mixture onto the lined trays to form the meringues. Place the tray in the oven and reduce the temperature to 90°C (194F). Leave the oven on for 1 1/2 hours or until the meringues are crisp and sound hollow when tapped on the base. Turn the oven off and allow the meringues to cool in the oven for 4 hours. Remove from the oven if they start turning brown.
