OPERATION

BLENDING
The specially designed blade is for mixing and puréeing all kinds of foods, including salad dressings, powdered drink products, soups and sauces and blended drinks like milkshakes or smoothies.
This blade mixes and stirs while adding only a minimum of air to your mixture. A gentle up-and-down motion is all you need to make the most flavorful, full- bodied recipes. Be careful never to remove the blending shaft from the liquid while in operation, for it will splatter.
Tilt the pan or bowl away from you if needed to ensure the protective blade guard on the blending shaft is fully submerged.

TIPS AND HINTS

FOR HAND BLENDER

• Be sure that blending blade guard is fully submerged before blending ingredients.
• To purée a soup, use the hand blender to blend the soup ingredients to the desired consistency, using a gentle up-and-down motion right in the saucepan or pot.
• When blending ingredients right in a pot or pan tilt the pan away from you to create a deeper area for blending to prevent splatter.
• When using a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to scratch the coating with the hand blender.
• When blending into the blending cup, for example when making a fruit smoothie, cut most solid foods into ½ inch pieces for easy blending.
• Use the hand blender to make smooth gravies and pan sauces.
• Do not immerse motor body housing in water or any other liquid.
• When blending in the mixing cup, pour liquid ingredients in first, unless recipe instructs otherwise.
• The hand blender is perfect for frothing milk for cappuccino or lattés. Just warm milk in a small saucepan, and then pulse the hand blender gently, being sure to keep the blending blade guard fully submerged.
• Do not let hand blender stand in a hot pot on stove while not in use.
• Do not attempt to blend fruit pits, bones or other hard materials as these are liable to damage the blades.
• Do not fill mixing containers too full. The level of mixture will rise when blending and can overflow.
• To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under the surface.
• Using a gentle up-and-down motion is the best way to blend and incorporate ingredients uniformly.
• Liquid should not come closer than 1-inch of where the shaft attaches to the motor housing.

FOR WHISK ATTACHMENT

• Do not immerse whisk attachment gearbox in water or any other liquid.

• Use the whisk attachment for beating heavy cream or egg whites.

• When beating egg whites use a very clean metal or glass bowl, never plastic. Plastic can contain hidden oils and fats that can ruin the delicate egg white foam. To help stabilize the egg whites, add 1/8 teaspoon of cream of tartar per egg white prior to beating
  them. (If using a copper bowl omit the cream of tartar.) Beat the egg whites until desired peaks form.

• It may also be used for any task that you would normally whisk by hand, like crêpe batters or eggs for omelets.

• Beating the egg whites too long causes them to dry out and become less stable.

• When adding sugar to beaten egg whites, add it slowly when soft peaks just begin to form and then continue beating to form desired peaks.

• When beating heavy cream, if possible and time allows, use a chilled bowl and chill the whisk attachment. The best shaped bowl for whipping cream is one that is deep with a rounded bottom to minimize any splatter.

• The cream should come out of the refrigerator just before whipping. Whipped cream may be used at either soft or firm peaks depend- ing on preference. It may be flavored as desired. For best results, whip cream just before using.

FOR FOOD PROCESSOR ATTACHMENT

• When making compound butters, remove the butter from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before blending the ingredients.

• Do not grind spices in food processor work bowl.

• Liquids in work bowl should not exceed 1½ cups. Use quantities given in the recipe section as a guide.

• Do not overload work bowl. For best results most foods should not reach more than 2∕3 of the way up the work bowl.

• Do not attempt to chop fruit pits, bones or other hard materials, as these are liable to damage the blades.

• Do not immerse food processor cover in water or any other liquid.

• Do not operate food processor attachment for more than 30 seconds continuously.

• To add liquid while the machine is running, pour it through open feed tube. This is especially useful when making sauces.

• A small hole in the pusher allows you to add liquids in a very slow, steady stream – useful when making dressings and/or emulsions.

• ALWAYS USE PUSHER TO GUIDE FOOD THROUGH FEED TUBE. NEVER USE YOUR FINGERS OR A SPATULA.

• The size of pieces you put in bowl should be about the same size to achieve even results.

• For raw ingredients: peel, core and/or remove seeds and pits.
  Food should be between ½ and 1-inch, depending on hardness of the food.

• Pulse food in 1-second increments to chop. For the finest chop, process continuously. Watch ingredients closely to achieve desired consistency and scrape the work bowl as necessary.

Slicing and Shredding (using the reversible slicing/shredding disc)

• Always pack food in the feed tube. Use light to medium pressure on the feed tube while processing
• For round fruits or vegetables, remove a thick slice on the bottom of the food so that it sits upright in the feed tube. If food does not fit in the feed tube, halve or quarter it to fit. Process with even pressure.
• For small ingredients, like mushrooms, radishes or strawberries, trim the ends so the food sits upright in the feed tube.
• When slicing or shredding cheese, soft to medium firm cheeses be sure that the cheese is well chilled.
• When slicing or shredding harder cheeses like Parmesan, bring to room temperature first.
• To shred leafy vegetables like lettuce or spinach, roll leaves together and stand up in feed tube. Process with even pressure.

2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking tray with aluminum foil. Toss bread cubes together with olive oil, crushed garlic clove and salt. Pour onto prepared baking tray and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, tossing croutons once during bake time. Croutons should be evenly golden.
   Remove and reserve.

2. Clean lettuce and tear each leaf into bite size pieces. Dry well and reserve in large salad bowl.

3. Insert the shredding disc into the work bowl. Shred the cheese; remove and reserve.

4. Carefully remove the shredding disc and insert the chopping blade. Add the garlic clove and process until finely chopped. Add anchovies, egg substitute/yolk/mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and pepper to the work bowl. Process until well blended. With machine running, slowly pour olive oil through the feed tube in a steady stream so that dressing becomes emulsified.

Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Sauce
This is a very versatile sauce. It is equally great over grilled chicken or a bowl of pasta.

Makes about 4 cups
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, cut into ½-inch pieces
1 carrot, cut into ½-inch pieces
1 stalk celery, cut into ½-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon dried basil
⅓ cup dry white wine, or vermouth
3 roasted red peppers, cut into ½-inch pieces
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cans (15 ounce) diced tomatoes, with juices
¾ teaspoon kosher or sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1∕8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste

1. Put the olive oil in a medium saucepan and set over medium heat.
   Once hot, add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and basil. Partially cover and let cook until vegetables are softened but not browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the wine/vermouth, stirring to deglaze the pan (picking up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan and working into the mixture); let cook until fully evaporated. Add roasted peppers, tomato paste, tomatoes with juices, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to allow to simmer, partially covered, for about 35 to 40 minutes. Uncover and then simmer for an additional 15 to 20 minutes longer to thicken.

2. Using the blending shaft, blend sauce until puréed. If using a larger saucepan, tilt the pan to the side away from you to ensure that the protective guard of the blending shaft is fully submerged to prevent splatter.

3. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.

Mole Sauce
These are many varieties of mole sauce. Ours is full flavored yet mild – perfect over chicken and rice.

Makes about 4 cups
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 corn tortilla, cut into small pieces
¼ cup toasted almonds
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
2 cans (4 to 5 ounce) chopped green chilies
1 can (28 ounce) diced tomatoes, liquid drained
1½ cups chicken broth, reduced sodium
¼ cup raisins
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1. Put the olive oil in a medium saucepan and set over medium heat.
   Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add the garlic. Stir until coated with oil and fragrant. Add the spices and salt. Cook until spices are well distributed and the onion and garlic are coated, about 1 minute.
   First stir in the tortilla, almonds and peanut butter, and then add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 45 minutes, loosely covered and stirring occasionally.

2. Once sauce has simmered, use the blending shaft to blend until puréed. If using a larger saucepan, tilt the pan to one side away from you to ensure that the protective guard of the blending shaft is fully submerged to prevent splatter. If sauce is too thick, thin out with a bit more broth.

3. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.

Winter White Bean Soup
A rich and creamy soup, it will be sure to warm you up on a cold winter day. If you do not have prosciutto, bacon would work well in its place.

Makes about 6 cups
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 ounce prosciutto (2 thin slices), chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped*
1 tablespoon dry white wine, or vermouth
2 cans (15 ounce) cannellini beans drained (or 1 pound dried, soaked overnight)**
1 rosemary sprig
1 bay leaf
¼ to ½ teaspoon sea salt pinch freshly ground black pepper
5 cups chicken or vegetable broth, reduced sodium grated Parmesan for garnish

1. Heat ½ tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add prosciutto to quickly fry. Once crispy, remove and reserve.

2. Add remaining oil and reduce heat to medium. Once hot, add garlic, onion and celery. Sauté until softened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the wine/vermouth, stirring to deglaze the pan (picking up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan and working into the mixture); let cook until fully evaporated. Add the beans, rosemary, bay leaf, salt and pepper and stir to mix. Heat until beans are warmed through. Add the broth and raise the heat to bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to allow to simmer, partially covered, for about 60 to 75 minutes.
   Remove the rosemary and bay leaf.

3. Using the blending shaft, blend sauce until puréed. If using a larger saucepan, tilt the pan to one side away from you to ensure that the protective guard of the blending shaft is fully submerged to prevent splatter.

4. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Garnish with a sprinkling of prosciutto and/or grated Parmesan.

• All chopping can be easily and quickly done in the food processor attachment’s work bowl.
  ** When using soaked, dried beans, you may have to add more broth and a bit more salt as well.

Spring Asparagus Leek Soup
Makes about 8 cups
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 medium leeks, white and light green parts only, washed well and sliced
2 large bunches asparagus (about 2 to 2½ pounds), rough ends trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces (tips removed and reserved) – optional (see note in step 3)
1 large red potato (about 8 ounces), peeled and sliced, held in water to prevent oxidation
4 tablespoons dry white wine or cognac
1 to 1½ teaspoons kosher salt, to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 cups vegetable broth (the more clear the broth, the greener the soup will be)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice crème fraîche for garnish chopped chives for garnish

1. Put the butter in a medium saucepan and set over medium heat. Add the garlic and leeks; stir until you hear a slight sizzle and then cover pan to sweat the leeks for about 5 to 10 minutes, until they are very soft.
2. Add the asparagus and potato to the pan. Stir to coat all vegetables and sauté until soft. Pour in white wine or cognac and stir until completely reduced. Add salt and pepper and stir in the vegetable broth. Bring mixture to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until all vegetables are very tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
3. While soup is simmering, steam the asparagus tips separately, about 5 to 8 minutes until crisp tender. Shock tips in ice water to maintain a bright green color. Once cool, slice tips thinly lengthwise to be used for garnish. (Note: This step is optional, but makes for a great presentation.)
4. Once soup vegetables are tender, use the blending shaft and blend soup until puréed. If using a larger saucepan, tilt the pan to the side away from you to ensure that the protective guard of the blending shaft is fully submerged to prevent splatter.
5. Stir in lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
6. Serve immediately garnishing with a dollop of crème fraîche, some chopped chives and asparagus tips.

• All chopping and slicing can be easily and quickly done in the food processor attachment’s work bowl.

Summer Zucchini Soup
A great way to use up that surplus of summer garden zucchini – serve cold or warm!

Makes about 6 cups (without cream)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter or extra virgin olive oil
2 medium leeks, white and light green parts, sliced
1 medium celery stalk, cut into small dice
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 medium zucchini (about 2 pounds), sliced*
8 ounces white (waxy) potato, peeled and cut into 2- inch pieces

½ cup dry white wine
3½ cups chicken broth, reduced sodium
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves (about 6 medium leaves)
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves (about 3 to 4 large leaves)
¼ cup heavy cream (optional)

1. Put the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter melts add the leeks, celery and garlic. Stir over medium heat until vegetables soften, about 8 to 10 minutes.
2. Once soft, add the zucchini and potato with 1 teaspoon of the salt and the peppers; stir ingredients together until well coated. Once coated, add the white wine. Simmer until wine is just about evaporated. Add the broth and turn the heat up to bring mixture to a boil. Once the soup comes to a boil, reduce the heat in order to maintain a simmer. Simmer until all vegetables are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
3. Once all vegetables are tender, add the fresh herbs and blend using the blending shaft. To help facilitate blending, tilt pot to the side away from you to ensure that the protective guard of the blending shaft is submerged. Blend until mixture is completely puréed.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning, add remaining salt to taste if necessary.
5. If using optional cream, add at the very end of blending. Stir in cream and simmer soup for an additional 5 to 10 minutes before seasoning.
