Blenders Information
What is a Blender?
Introducing the liquidizer, with electrically powered whirling blades that liquefy fruits and vegetables into healthy drinks. It chops vegetables, meat, and chicken into soup meals, purees sauces, whips cream, grinds coffee and spices, and even pulverizes ice.
You've probably seen two or three of these machines in action on a Saturday night at your favorite bar - blending ice and alcohol drinks for friends and strangers who stopped by to indulge in a bit of cheer. Ice cream and soda shops use blenders to whip up malts and milk shakes, and coffee shops to blend smoothies.
For decades the blender has been one of the most popular and versatile appliances. Sold as counter-top blenders and easily stored hand blenders, dozens of manufacturers have loaded today's machines with features that go beyond these indulgences, to cut kitchen prep time in half. Some high-end and commercial electric mixers even include blender attachments in their line of accessories.
Blenders FAQ's
History of the Blender
It was 1911, the Big Band Era. Teens were chugging down malts and shakes at the local soda parlors while "Alexander's Ragtime Band" inspired the dance craze. A single-serving drink machine was used to whip together ice cream, milk and flavorings; then big brother came along - a blender capable of doing twice the volume in half the time.

Blender Care and Maintenance
We're all guilty of it . . . take home a new appliance and think, "Now how hard can this be to operate?" We stuff the instructions in a drawer for future reference. Or, in our haste, we scan through the instructions for the English version and then read only what it takes to get us started. Somehow, we missed the very first sentence of the instructions: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
