RECIPE SUGGESTIONS
TIPS FOR USING THE CUISINART ®
QUICK PREP ® HAND BLENDER
• Using a gentle up and down motion is the best way to blend and
incorporate ingredients uniformly.
• Turn the CSB-33 series Hand Blender off and let the blade stop com-
pletely 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 series 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 series Hand Blender is perfect for frothing milk for cappuc-
cino or lattes.
• Use the CSB-33 series Hand Blender to make smooth gravies and pan
sauces.
• The CSB-33 series 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.
