Assembly and Use
of Food Chopper Attachment
Helpful Hints
•
The hand blender can be used in hot liquids. Always use care when
using in hot liquids. To avoid splashing when using the hand blender
in a saucepan, insert the hand blender into the pan first, set the
speed dial to “MIN”, and then press the ON/OFF switch for
operation, slowly raising the speed to your desired setting.
Caution: Do not tilt or lift the Immersion Blender out of the pan
while the motor is running, as a serious burn or injury can occur
from food splatter.
1
Ensure the motor base is unplugged.
figure 1
figure 2
figure 3
2
Assemble chopper bowl by first placing
the chopping blade onto the blade shaft in
the chopper bowl. (see figure 1) Then place
food in bowl. For best results, solid foods
should be no larger than 1/2" cubes.
•
To puree foods, a certain amount of liquid is needed.
Add cooking liquid, broth, juice, milk, or cream, until desired
consistency is reached.
3
Place the chopper bowl lid on top of the
chopper bowl. (see figure 2)
•
•
•
For thorough blending, move blade up and down in mixture until smooth.
You will achieve better mixing results if you use deep, tall containers.
4
Attach the motor base to the chopping
bowl as follows: Hold the cover firmly with
one hand, while holding the motor base
with the arrows slightly to the right or left.
Turn the motor base until it snaps into
place. (see figure 3).
For easy cleanup, unplug blender and rinse under running water
immediately after using.
•
•
•
Place liquid ingredients into the beaker first unless recipe specifically
states otherwise.
5
6
Plug into 120-volt 60 Hz AC only outlet.
Before turning the appliance on, immerse the hand blender attachment
into the prepared ingredients, thus ensuring they will not spill over.
Always use slight downward pressure
when operating the motor base, while the
other hand is placed firmly on the bowl
cover to avoid the bowl from moving.
Always ensure your speed selector is on
“MAX” when chopping. Use a pulse action
when chopping by pressing and releasing
ON/Turbo switch.
For greater efficiency, move the appliance in small outward spiraling
circles while mixing, without touching the bottom of the beaker with
the hand blender attachment.
•
•
The hand blender attachment cannot blend hard or fibrous ingre-
dients unless they are in less than 1/2" pieces, soft ones into 1/2 - 1"
pieces.
7
8
Do not operate the motor continuously for
more than 15 seconds when using chopper
attachment, otherwise food will be too
finely chopped.
Some foods require a small amount of liquid to allow them to move
freely around the blades. Soft or wetter foods require less liquid,
while dry ingredients require more liquid. Add the liquid a little at a
time until the mix gains the required consistency.
When you are finished, simply release the
ON/Turbo switch, unplug the motor base,
and detach it from the chopping bowl lid.
•
When using the hand blender, ensure the blades are covered to avoid
splashing.

Aioli
Fresh Tomato Salsa
(Salsa Mexicana or Pico De Gallo)
This classic Provençal mayonnaise takes its name from the French
word for its key ingredient, garlic. If you have health concerns about
making mayonnaise from raw eggs, consider this statement from the
American Egg Board: “There have been warnings against consuming
raw or lightly cooked eggs on the grounds that the egg may be
contaminated with Salmonella, a bacteria responsible for a type of
foodborne illness. Healthy people need to remember that there is
a very small risk and treat eggs and other raw animal foods
accordingly. Use only properly refrigerated, clean, sound-shelled,
fresh, grade AA or A eggs. Avoid mixing yolks and whites with the
shell.” Alternatively, start with about 1 1/2 cups of good-quality
bottled mayonnaise and blend into it pureed garlic, Dijon mustard,
and lemon juice.
Makes 2 cups
INGREDIENTS
1 pound or 8 Campari tomatoes (or other very ripe, fragrant tomatoes)
Juice of 1 lime
3 Serrano chiles
1/3 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon iodized salt
1/2 of a small white onion, peeled and quartered
1 green onion, cut into 2 inch lengths
METHOD
1
Combine all ingredients into Immersion Chopper Bowl cutting any
of the tomatoes that are too big to fit. Add top and motor. Pulse to
chop as chunky or smooth as you like it. Serve immediately. Salsa
should be eaten within an hour or so or the onions get too strong
and the perfume of the cilantro dissipates.
Makes about 2 cups
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1/4 cup chopped basil
2 extra-large raw egg yolks
Salt
Freshly ground white pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 to 2 cups safflower oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
Main Dishes, Side Dishes,
METHOD
Sauces & Toppings
1
Combine flour and salt in Immersion Chopper Bowl. Set aside.
2
In a small bowl, combine the honey, oil, water and yeast. Stir to
dissolve. Pour all of the yeast mixture into the Chopper Bowl
containing the flour and salt. Attach top and hold the TURBO button
down for 15 seconds. Remove dough ball and knead by hand for a
minute. If it is very sticky, add a bit of flour. Cover with a towel and
let rest for 40 minutes, or cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
Knead briefly to deflate and form into 1 or 2 balls. Let it rest for 15
minute to relax dough.
3
Shape as desired, your pizza does not have to be round. Have fun
with it and shape it thick or thin, football shaped or round and neat.
It will be delicious. Top your pizza with your favorite toppings. Bake
in a very hot, 500°F preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until
brown and crispy. Serve hot.
Note: Vary the dough by adding fresh herbs before mixing. Toppings
are endless. I love basil pesto, mozzarella and Parmesan or ricotta with
sliced garlic, parmesan and tomatoes.

Artichoke Mousse
Fresh Basil Pesto
Serves 4
Makes 1 1/2 cups
INGREDIENTS
INGREDIENTS
4 or 5 very large artichokes
1 tablespoons garlic cloves
2 lemons, halved
4 tablespoons (2 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
about 2 tablespoons heavy cream
salt
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
2 tablespoons fresh grated Parmesan cheese
Juice from half a lemon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
1 cup packed whole basil leaves
1 cup excellent quality fruity olive oil
METHOD
METHOD
1
Trim away the leaves from the artichokes to expose the bottoms.
Rub the cut surfaces with lemon to prevent oxidation.
1
Combine everything but oil in the Immersion Chopper Bowl.
Pulse to chop. Add 1/2 of the olive oil and puree till smooth adding
more oil as needed. Carefully taste and correct seasoning. Store
airtight for a few days or freeze to preserve color and fresh taste
for up to 1 month..
2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the juice of half a
lemon and the artichoke bottoms, cover with a linen towel or several
sheets of paper towels and cook until the artichokes are tender,
40 to 50 minutes.
3
Remove the artichokes and drain. Remove and discard the fiber from
the center of the chokes.
Note: Having pesto on hand is a wonderful way to add a huge boost of
flavor to whatever you are making. I love it on sandwiches, pasta, pizza,
salad dressings, crostinis, even on crackers and raw veggies. You can use
all the same ingredients listed here, swap out the basil for something
else and create many great pestos. I love sun-dried tomatoes, or ricotta
cheese, black olives, beets, even other herbs like sage.
4
Use the Immersion Blender to purée the artichoke bottoms with the
butter. Pass the purée through a tamis or fine strainer into a heavy
saucepan and heat through. Stir in the cream and correct the
seasonings with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
PRESENTATION
Recipe courtesy Marian Getz
Serve as a side dish to accompany lamb or chicken or use as a bed
for sliced meats and poultry.
Note: To reheat, place the mousse in a heavy saucepan, add 1
tablespoon each of unsalted butter and heavy cream. Heat slowly,
stirring constantly.
