INSTRUCTIONSFORUSE
1 Thoroughly wash and dry your
ingredients and Salad Zinger.
2 Make sure top cap is tightly fastened
before adding ingredients.
3 Unscrew bottom cup from base.
4 Remove grinder blades from cup by
pinching the contoured handle and
lifting upward. Use caution when
adding or removing ingredients.
5 If necessary, cut ingredients into
smaller pieces before grinding.
Remove any pits or thick rinds.
6 Fill cup with ingredients until full, but
not overflowing.
7 Refit grinder blades.
8 Screw cup back onto base.The blades
will twist, grinding the ingredients
and releasing the juices. For stronger
flavor, first twist grinder back and forth
by hand a few times before screwing
onto base.
9 Remove the top cap and spout. Add oil,
vinegar, honey, syrup, or mustard,
according to your recipe.
10 Refit cap and spout. While holding down
the cap, shake well for 10-15 seconds
before allowing mixture to steep for
at least 30 minutes. The longer it steeps,
the stronger the flavor.
11 Shake Salad Zinger again before
pouring to maximize the flavor.
CLEANING & EMPTYING TIPS
• To empty, drain any excess liquid.
Carefully remove blades and dump out
ingredients.
• Always use a untensil to dislodge any
leftover pieces from the blades.
• Clean all parts thoroughly between
uses. Use hot soapy water or the top
rack of the dishwasher.
• Leave container upside down to dry
and always store with top cap and spout
removed.
• Each Zinger has one rubber seal at
the base of the bottle. Be sure it is
cleaned periodically and put back in
place correctly to prevent leaking.
FOOD SAFETY TIPS
• Wash all produce before using.
• Clean the Salad Zinger thoroughly
between uses.
• If cloudiness, bubbles or foul odor
develop, discard the infusion.
• Make sure there is no odor or residue
from past zings in the Salad Zinger.
• When in doubt, throw it out.
TIPS&TRICKS—GENERAL
• Hard ingredients like apples or ginger
should be cut into smaller pieces
before using.
• To prevent damage to the Salad Zinger,
remove all pits and thick rinds
before grinding.
• For best results, completely fill base cup
with ingredients. More ingredients, more
flavor.
• If using hard ingredients or if cup is
overfilled, twist grinder back and forth
by hand to break down the mixture
before screwing onto the bottle.
• Make sure grinder and cup are lined up
correctly with the bottle before
screwing on. Do not forced together
any of the pieces. Be good to your
Zinger and it will be good to you.
• Add larger ingredients such as orange
slices or chili peppers directly to the
liquid portion of the cruet for more
flavor and a dramatic presentation.
• For convenience, ingredients can be
pre-chopped and refrigerated until
ready to use.
TIPS & TRICKS—OIL
• Expensive oils are not necessary
as the Salad Zinger will be
providing the flavor. Mild-flavored
oils, such as olive oil, peanut,
and canola, are easier to infuse
than stronger-flavored oils
like walnut or sesame seed,
but don’t be afraid to experiment.
TIPS & TRICKS—VINEGAR
• High quality vinegars are best
for infusing, White wine and
rice vinegars work well with many
dierent flavor combinations,
while strong-flavored vinegars like
basalmic, have specific flavor
profiles that work best.
