Question 2

How to blend/chop frozen fruits with the MASTERCHEF 370?

Accepted Answer

The MASTERCHEF 370 can definitely blend and process frozen fruits. Here’s how to do it:

Use the metal blade

To chop frozen fruits, use the metal blade (standard blade for chopping). Insert the blade into the blade holder, then pour your frozen fruits into the bowl.

Important recommendations

Never use the pusher at the same time as the blade: manually guide the fruits towards the blade if necessary, but do not insert your fingers into the bowl.
Limit the blending time to 2 minutes maximum for this operation.
Start by breaking the frozen fruits into smaller pieces before putting them in the machine if possible - this makes blending easier and protects the blade.
Never pour boiling liquid: frozen fruits should be at low or room temperature.

This operation works well with the MASTERCHEF 370, ideal for preparing smoothies or frozen purees.

Question 8

With the blend function, do I necessarily have to fill between the minimum and maximum level?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with the blending program (P5) of the Moulinex Easy Soup LM841B, it is important to respect the minimum and maximum levels indicated on the bowl. However, this requirement mainly applies when you start the program directly with raw ingredients, as the MIN-MAX levels are calibrated for optimal motor operation and the safety of the appliance.

For P1 and P2 (heating programs): the MIN-MAX levels must be strictly adhered to, as the heating system and safety sensors are calibrated for this filling range.
For P5 (blending only): P5 is generally used AFTER a cooking program to refine the texture of your soup or compote and give it a smoother consistency. In this case, the content you are going to blend already respects the appropriate levels since it comes from a previous cooking.

If you use P5 directly with raw ingredients, be sure to fill the bowl between the minimum and maximum level for optimal operation. For best results, cut hard ingredients into 2 cm cubes and thaw frozen fruits and vegetables before use.
