TECHNIQUES FOR USE  
For smooth, even, consistent results, foods should be cut into uniform  
®
®
pieces, 1/2 inch or less. Insert the Cuisinart Quick Prep Hand Blender  
into the food to be processed and use a gentle up-and-down action for  
blending, mixing and puréeing. For some thicker mixtures, a stronger  
motion may be necessary. Always keep the blade below the surface of  
liquid/ingredients to prevent spatter. Turn the hand blender off before  
lifting it out of the foods you are processing.  
As you use your Cuisinart® Quick Prep® Hand Blender more, you will find  
the best method for your favorite recipes.  
TO BLEND, MIX OR PUREE  
®
®
Insert the Cuisinart Quick Prep Hand Blender in the mixture to be  
processed. Process on the speed needed to produce optimum results  
(use EveryDay Uses and Recipes as a guide). For Shakes/Smoothies,  
use the 2-cup mixing container that comes with the hand blender, or a tall  
pitcher. To mix instant desserts, use a deep, narrow bowl for best results.  
For puréeing, use either the mixing container, an appropriate mixing bowl,  
®
or for soups and hot sauces, use the Quick Prep Hand Blender right in  
the pan. Use this technique to prepare fresh, homemade baby foods from  
your family favorites (consult your family physician or pediatrician for  
appropriate food recommendations).  
TO EMULSIFY  
(mayonnaise / vinaigrettes)  
Place the ingredients in the 2-cup mixing container or an appropriate  
mixing bowl. Insert the Quick Prep® Hand Blender into the mixture and  
run on Lo speed for 15 seconds, until the mixture begins to thicken.  
Continue to blend, using a slow, gentle up-and-down motion, taking care  
not to lift the mixing blades above the top surface of the ingredients to  
avoid spatter. Blend until mixture has reached the desired thickness.  
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS  
Always clean the Cuisinart® Quick Prep® Hand Blender thoroughly after  
each use. Unplug the unit and hold the blade portion of the Quick Prep®  
under hot running water to rinse clean. If food particles are not easily  
rinsed off the blade area, use a small spatula or brush to remove parti-  
cles. Do not use your fingers as the blade is sharp. NEVER submerge or  
allow water to run onto the motor base of the appliance. Wipe the motor  
base clean with a damp cloth and dry before storing. Wash the mixing  
container in hot, soapy water and dry before storing, or conveniently place  
in the dishwasher after each use.  
Cleaning Tip: After preparing oily foods (salad dressing, mayonnaise,  
etc.), fill the container with hot soapy water. Unplug the Quick Prep® Hand  
Blender and place it in the container in the sinkto soak. Rinse the blade  
with hot water.

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

ABOUT THE RECIPES  
Preparation times are estimates and are based on the time it takes to  
prepare, assemble, and cook the ingredients once they have been  
gathered from the refrigerator and cupboard and placed on the counter.  
Nutritional analyses are based on number of servings indicated. If a  
recipe produces a range of servings or has low/high fat ingredient  
choices, the nutritional analysis is based on the highest serving yield  
using the lowest fat alternative ingredient for that particular recipe.  
For best results when measuring dry ingredients such as flour that may  
settle, stir flour first, spoon into measuring cup, then level off with the  
straight edge of a knife.
