Using the blending attachment
The unit should not be operated continuously for more than one minute, without

After attaching the blending shaft, place the food into the measuring beaker or other
suitable container. The blending attachment can be used directly in a pan though we do
not recommend that you do this in a non-stick pan to avoid damaging the pan.
For the most consistent results, food should be processed in small quantities and be cut
into 1 inch cubes before blending.

cream. Maximum processing speed is achieved by pressing the High speed button.

The hand blender will operate until the button is released.
Hints
When pureeing food, it is important to use enough liquid (juice, milk or cream, broth, etc)
to have a smooth mixture.
Adjust the consistency of the mixture by adding more liquids or soft solids.
Do not use the blending shaft to process meat or cheese.

For best results, when using the chopping attachment, cut up larger pieces of food before
processing them and do not overll the chopping bowl, Pulse the motor unit until the
desired consistency is obtained.

hard food) without a rest period of two minutes. The chopping attachment is not
suitable for processing hot food.

Simple Carrot Soup - serves 2
• 85g (3oz) unsalted butter

• ½ teaspoon soft thyme leaves
• 600ml (1 pint) vegetable stock
• 4 tablespoons double cream

5 minutes. Next, add the vegetable stock.
2. Cook until the vegetables are tender, then using your Breville hand blender liquidise
it until it is smooth. Keep the blade part of the blending shaft immersed in the soup to
avoid splashing. To avoid damage to the pan, we do not recommend that you blend
soup in a non-stick pan.
3. Finish off with the double cream and season to taste.
4. You can alter the avours by adding 200ml (7 .oz) orange juice instead of the same
amount of stock, or folding in 2 tablespoons chopped coriander just before serving.
