Use a high-powered blender. Models with 1500+ watts ensure quick, thorough blending. Pre-chop your ingredients: Smaller pieces blend faster. Aim for cubes no larger than half an inch.
Maximize Blending Efficiency
Add liquid first – this lubricates the blades and prevents jamming. Start with a small amount (about ½ cup) and add more as needed to reach your desired consistency. Use the pulse function initially for a few seconds, then switch to high speed for the final blend. For a perfectly smooth texture, use a tamper to push ingredients down against the blades. This technique takes about 8 seconds.
Clean immediately after use. Fill the blender with warm soapy water, run it briefly on high speed, then rinse thoroughly.
