Compact Blender And Juice Extractor And Hints - Cuisinart CBJ-450 Manual De Instrucciones

COMPACT BLENDER –
TIPS AND HINTS
• Always put the hardest ingredients into the blending cup first (ice cubes,
frozen fruit) and finish with the softer ingredients and liquids.
• It is recommended that most foods be cut into ½- to 1-inch pieces
to achieve the most uniform result.
• For best results in the fastest time, pulse a few times before running
continuously. Pulses should be short bursts with about 1 second in
between each one to allow the blade to stop rotating between pulses.
• To crush ice, put no more than 3 standard ice cubes into the blending
cup at one time. Pulse until uniformly crushed.
• If food sticks to the sides of the blending cup when blending, stop the
blender, carefully scrape down the food, replace blade assembly and
pulse in short bursts to combine.
• When blending thicker mixtures, lightly hold down top of blending cup
to prevent excessive movement.
• Do not attempt to mash white potatoes or knead bread dough in the
blending cup.
• After blending, flip the blending cup over so that the blade assembly
is on the top. Gently tap the cup on the counter a few times to prevent
any spillage. Remove the blade assembly and replace with the provided
lid.
COMPACT JUICE EXTRACTOR –
TIPS AND HINTS
• Extracted juice captures about 95% of the nutrients from fresh fruits
and vegetables. Drinking extracted juice is a fast and efficient way
for your body to digest and absorb all these nutrients. Digesting whole
fruits can take about an hour; extracted juices take only 15 minutes.
• Freshly extracted juices are an excellent aid in weight management
and in cleanses, which rid the body of toxins.
• Always use fresh, organic, and seasonal produce. Organic produce
is grown without synthetic fertilizers and chemicals, which is very
important when juicing whole foods. Buying foods in season is
considerably less expensive than purchasing off-season, and flavors
are much better.
• Wash all fruits and vegetables immediately after purchasing and store
them in the refrigerator. This way they are ready to juice at any time.
• Always juice fresh fruits and vegetables as soon as possible after
purchasing. The longer produce is held the more nutrients it loses.
• Certain fruits should be peeled before juicing. Examples are pineapples,
melons, mangoes, papayas, citrus – any fruit with skin that you cannot
eat. Also, remove all pits and hard seeds from peaches, cherries,
mangoes, etc.
• Citrus fruit juice is delicious and richer in nutrients.
• If cucumbers are waxy, peel them before juicing.
• Juice the softer ingredients before the harder ones.
• When using the pusher, use gentle pressure to guide food through the
feed tube. Do not press too hard or use too much force.
• When juicing herbs or leafy greens, juice them in the middle of a
combination of ingredients in order to extract the greatest amount
of juice. Always put the leafy end of the greens into the feed tube first
and do not over pack.
• Use your taste to guide you in creating fruit and vegetable
combinations for juices. The recipes provided are a guideline,
