And here on the table - perfect pies, bread, salads, mashed potatoes. The kitchen is assisted by a food processor, bread maker, blender.
Blender - convenient and fast!
Functions in the blender laid a few. Its main application is to grind products. A good blender with quality knives can even chop ice for drinks. But mainly use the device for the preparation of puree mass from fruits, vegetables, other products.
Blender - an indispensable thing if the child grows up in the house. Before buying baby food in canned form, it is worth remembering bored in the closet without the need of adaptation. A dish of fresh vegetables and fruits is undoubtedly more useful than already processed products. Of course, the landlady, too, do not shift everything on the shoulders of technology. Products must be specially trained before shipment to the blender.
Preparing products
To throw a vegetable or fruit in the blender bowl is completely short-sighted.
- First, small knives can not cope with such dimensions, simply will not grasp and grind.
- Secondly, many of the ingredients of your dish require heat treatment. Do not you make mashed potatoes! Root crops before grinding should be boiled until soft. The same goes for zucchini, carrots, beets, and cabbage. Although the latter can simply be burned with boiling water.
After the products are washed and prepared, they are cut into small pieces with a knife. So the nozzle of the blender will be handier to grasp them and grind them. Again a nuance: some of the products, for example, roots, greens( parsley leaves, dill) grind poorly. Due to the fact that they are quite dry, they contain little juice. If you throw such products into the bowl for grinding, you should add to it either other juicy ingredients, or a couple of spoonfuls of water, milk, broth, which is there according to the recipe.
Rules for making puree in a blender
You should not throw too many products at a time in a blender. When working, the mass begins to move, the risk is high that it is possible to fly out of the vessel. Even with the lid closed, do not fill the bowl to the top: the motor can not cope with the load and can burn out.
Another danger for the blender is its hot products. If they are going to make mashed potatoes, then only their chilled pieces. At least to a warm state. The hot product strains the motor of the device and turns the root crop into a sticky mass, and you did not prepare the paste.
