ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

Enjoy fresh soups, smoothies, cocktails, protein shakes, juice, dips, sauces and much more with this 2-in-1 Hot & Cold Blender.

Healthy living is a breeze with this hot and cold blender.

The 800W blending power plus powerful blades really packs a punch with the 12 in-built hot and cold blending programs. Hot blending programs run at 100^ C and include soy milk, boiled food, soup, baby food and corn juice as well as an intelligent 70^ C heated cleaning program for ease of use.

A 70°C keep warm program will keep the contents of your hot blended foods and drinks at the perfect temperature until ready to eat or serve, without any additional blending or over-mushing. Cold blending programs include juice, milk shake, crushed ice, smoothie and nut / oat milk.

With four simple touch control buttons on the power base, you can delay start the desired program, pulse blend, select one of the 12 in-built programs from the menu and start or cancel the selected program. Infuse and amplify flavours in the strong, reinforced glass pitcher complete with an easy pour spout. The large capacity of 1.4L for hot blending and 1.75L for cold blending will ensure there is plenty of blended quantities per use without having to blend in multiple batches.

We recommend the ingredients stacking order of first liquids, then powders and sweeteners, followed by leafy greens, then soft ingredients such as yoghurt and nut butters, then fresh fruit and nuts, followed by frozen fruit and topped with ice cubes, for the perfect blend, every time. The included measuring cup and cleaning brush provide all the essentials to flawlessly prepare and clean up your hot and cold contents.

Blend up a savoury, hearty soup or even blend up a delicious batch of creamy hummus – the possibilities are endless with this 2-in-1 Hot & Cold Blender.

RECIPE TIPS:

When making soy milk, oat milk, almond milk:

Homemade soy milk can taste quite beany. Try to remove some of the skin.

The simplest way is to add your pre-soaked beans into a bowl of warm water and rub the beans between your hands. Swirl the water so that the skins float to the top and can easily be skimmed off.

You could add a drop of vanilla essence to help disguise the beany taste during the cooking process. Vanilla essence can be added to flavour other milk drinks.

A nut milk bag (not included) can be used as a very fine filter when straining homemade milks.

Pre--made flavoured liquid stock allows for an easy way to add stock to a soup recipe.

When called for, add liquid stock up to the 1400ml mark on the pitcher when making a recipe which use a hot blending function.

Those programs are Soy Milk, Boiled food, Soup, Keep warm, Clean, Baby food and Corn juice.
