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. 8
