Best Blender for Smoothies—and Soup!

Blenders aren’t just for smoothies anymore. Our innovative blender has settings that heat up to 220˚F (104˚C), which means it doesn’t just blend—it cooks.

With a cooking blender, you can make everything from smoothies and milkshakes to soups, jams, alternative milks, and nut butters. With eight preprogrammed settings and two custom settings, there’s no guesswork. The pitcher has a 6-cup capacity for hot food and 7-cup capacity for cold food, and comes with a tamper, dual-sided cleaning brush, strainer bag, boil-over guard, and a cooking guide with more than 60 recipes.

	• Inspect the lid, pitcher, base, and plug for any damage. Do not operate if any of these parts are damaged. WARNING: Inspect the lid safety switch on the handle for any food or debris that may be caught and could interfere with the operation of the switch. If the lid safety switch is not operating properly, this may cause serious product damage or injury.
	• Ensure there are no foreign objects in the pitcher. • Ensure the lid gasket is properly oriented on lid.
	• Properly seat and lock the vented lid cap into the lid.
	• Properly close the lid by ensuring the lid's notches are fully locked onto pitcher's tabs. The blender will not start if the lid is not seated on the pitcher correctly. See troubleshooting if "Lid" appears and the lid or pitcher is not place properly.

INITIAL TEST RUN

Before using for the first time, we recommend running the heated wash cycle to clean the pitcher and lid. This also helps you become familiar with the product and ensure it is working properly. The heated wash cycle will take an average of 5–10 minutes to complete.

Place the pitcher on the base with the handle positioned to the right.
Plug in the blender. Turn on the blender with the on/off switch on the right side of the unit. You will see the LED display light up. Ensure the product is plugged into its own dedicated outlet.
Fill the pitcher with 3 cups (750 mL) of warm water and 1–2 drops of liquid dish soap or 1 tsp (5 mL) of dishwashing powder.
Place the lid on the pitcher.
- Vented lid cap: Align the slots on the lid with the tabs on the vented lid cap. Place in and turn counterclockwise to close. Check that the vented lid cap is on the lid completely.
- Lid: Properly close the lid by ensuring the lid’s notches are fully locked onto pitcher’s tabs. The lid’s safety switch prevents the product from starting when the lid is not seated properly on the pitcher. If the lid is not correctly aligned, the blender won’t start and will display “Lid”. You will hear a click when the safety switch is engaged.
The product will automatically be set to when turned on. Turn the wheel until the blue light is lit above the setting.
Press the wheel. There will be three slow beeps. The LED display will show the current temperature at the top of the display with 12 dashes moving in a circular pattern below it. This notes that the unit is preheating.
Once the temperature is reached, the display will show a run time and begin counting down. During the Heated Wash cycle, some bubbles may appear, this is normal and expected. The more concentrated the soap is, the more bubbles it will yield. Bubbles should not spill over the side. If you’re using highly concentrated soap and bubbles start to bubble over, press the wheel to pause the Heated Wash cycle, remove the lid, and add about 1 tsp (5 mL) of vegetable oil to reduce bubbling.
When blending is complete, three audible beeps will sound. The blender will continue to beep two times every 1 minute until is pressed or the pitcher is removed from the base. Some bubbles may form on top of the lid, that’s OK.
To remove the pitcher from the base, ensure the lid is secure on the pitcher. When facing the front of the blender, use the pitcher handle to tilt the pitcher slightly to the left and lift away from the base. Discard the soapy water and rinse with clean water.
Now you're all set to blend!

PREPARING TO COOK

1. Place the pitcher on the base with the handle positioned to the right side.

2. Fill the pitcher.
WARNING: The total amount of food or liquid contents should never exceed the 6-cup (1.4-L) line for hot foods and the 7-cup (1.75-L) line for cold foods. Overfilling the pitcher may cause spills, damage to the unit, or other dangerous accidents.

3. Put the lid on and close completely.
Vented lid cap: Align the slots on the lid with the tabs on the vented lid cap. Place in and turn counterclockwise to close. Check that the vented lid cap is on the lid completely.
Lid: Properly close the lid by ensuring the lid's notches are fully locked onto the pitcher's tabs. The lid and pitcher are intended to prevent the product from starting when they are not seated properly. If the lid is not correctly aligned or the pitcher is not on properly, the blender won't start and will display "Lid". you will hear a click when the safety switch is engaged.

	Setting	Preset Time	Overall Estimated Run Time	Notes
NON-HEATED SETTING	Smoothie	1 minute	1 minute	This setting is designed to work for a 12–16 oz. (350–475 mL) serving. When making a larger batch, run the setting twice.
	Grind	2 minutes 20 seconds	2 minutes 20 seconds	When grinding difficult foods like nut butters, do not use the tamper for more than 30 seconds at a time and no more than 1 minute after a paste has formed. Otherwise the motor will overheat and automatically stop operating. If the motor stops, turn off the blender and allow it to cool down for 1 hour. If this issue persists, please see the Troubleshooting Chart (p. 15). Do not blend any nut butters back-to-back.
	Alt. Milk	5 minutes	5 minutes	For best results, strain after blending using the included Strainer Bag. Refer to the Deluxe Cooking Blender Cooking Guide for more details.
HEATED SETTING (Use a minimum of 1/4 cup (60 mL) liquid)	Heated Puree	30 seconds*	15–20 minutes	Softens and purees hard and soft raw vegetables when used with a minimum of 1/2 cup (125 mL) water. NOTE: Using lesser amounts of liquids may cause scorching on the bottom of the pitcher. High-fat ingredients like cream and cheese will cause scorching. When including these ingredients, add them after the cycle is complete. See recipes in the Deluxe Cooking Blender Cooking Guide for further instructions.
	Sauce	The program runs until it reaches the target temperature. Stage one: 176˚ F (80˚C) Stage two: 205˚F (96˚C)	30–40 minutes	This setting has two stages. The first stage heats the blender's contents gently and at a lower temperature to make foods like hot chocolate and custards. The second stage is for thickened sauces like gravy. This is when you add in a thickener. Here's how to use the Sauce setting: Stage One Add your sauce ingredients according to the recipe. ILLUSTRATION 1 Stage Two The blender will pause and display "Add". Some recipes will be done at this time. If what you're making is done, press Cancel. Refer to your recipe if you're unsure if it's done. If your sauce is using a thickener like a roux or cornstarch, open the vented lid cap carefully and add it at this point. Replace and lock the vented lid cap; press the wheel to resume cooking. The blender will heat up to 205˚F (96˚C).
	Jam	The program runs until it reaches 220˚F (104˚C), or for a maximum of 40 minutes.*	45–50 minutes	Stage One For use with fruit jams, start the program with Pectin and fresh fruit. Do not add in sugar at this time. If using a fruit with lower water content like rhubarb or frozen peaches, add 1/4 cup (60 mL) water. ILLUSTRATION 2 Stage Two When the contents reach boiling, the program will beep, pause, and display "Add". Open the vented lid cap carefully, do not touch the glass, and add the sugar. Replace and lock the cap; press the wheel to resume cooking. Refer to the Deluxe Cooking Blender Cooking Guide for details.
	Soup	15 minutes 36 seconds	25–30 minutes	Cooks and purees hard and soft raw vegetables into soup when used with liquid. High-fat ingredients like cream and cheese can cause scorching. When including these ingredients, add them after the cycle is complete. See recipes in the Deluxe Cooking Blender Cooking Guide for further instructions.
	Heated Wash	2 minutes 18 seconds*	5–10 minutes	Fill the pitcher with water to the 3-cup (750-mL) line and add 1–2 drops of liquid dish soap or 1 tsp (5 mL) of dishwashing powder. Using more than this amount may cause foam to run down the sides of the pitcher. Some residue may still remain in the pitcher from blending certain foods like hard cheese or dried-on dairy. Use the included Dual-Sided Cleaning Brush or a sponge to scrub any remaining hard-to-remove residue. See the Cleaning section (p. 9) for further instructions.

*This preset timer starts when the product has reached cooking temperature.

FOOD TAMPERING

WARNING: Do not use the tamper with hot contents or during heated cycles. Damage to the product or serious injury may occur.

A food tamper is provided with the blender as an authorized accessory for the product. Use it only when blending cold food and liquid ingredients. During blending, you may use the tamper to push down food from the sides of the pitcher or release air bubbles that may form.

How to Tamper Ingredients

1. Remove the vented lid cap from the lid.

2. Insert the food tamper through the lid opening. During blending, do not tamper for longer than 30 consecutive seconds to prevent the motor from overheating. If the motor starts to struggle spinning, stop tampering to prevent the motor from overheating.

3. Push food down from the sides of the pitcher toward the blades.
Note: The guard near the top of the tamper prevents the tamper from coming into contact with the blades. When inserted in the lid opening, the tamper should not come in contact with the blades from any angle.

WARNING: Rotating blades can cause death, serious injury, or damage. Only use the tamper included with your blender. Do not force the tamper deeper into the pitcher. Do not reach into the pitcher with hands or utensils while the blender is running.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The cases in the following tables do not always indicate a faulty blender.

Problem	Possible Reason	Solution
There's a smoky smell on the initial use.	Protective coatings are applied during manufacturing. The smell may be from these coatings wearing off. These coatings are non-toxic.	This can occur on the first use and is considered normal and harmless. If the smoky smell persists or visual smoke is observed, stop using and contact the Solution Center.
The program is running, but the motor isn't working.	The motor has overheated. Overusing the tamper or blending very thick foods for too long like nut butters can cause the motor to overheat.	Unplug the product and let it cool down for an hour. If the motor still doesn't work, stop using and contact the Solution Center. Do not blend any nut butters back-to-back.
The display shows "Err 1 or 2".	The thermometer is malfunctioning.	Take the pitcher off the base and place it back on the motor.
The display shows "Err 3".	The heating element in the pitcher is overheating.	Make sure that there is food in the pitcher before starting and there is enough liquid added when using a heated function.
The display shows "Lid".	The lid or pitcher is not placed on correctly.	Ensure all notches on the lid are aligned properly with the pitcher and the lid is rotated in the fully locked position. You will hear a click when the safety switch is engaged. Ensure the pitcher is fully seated onto the base.
The blender will not power on.	The on/off switch is not turned on.	Turn on the blender with the on/off switch located on the right side of the base.
	The power cord is not plugged into the outlet.	Ensure the cord is plugged fully into the outlet. Check the blender on a different outlet.
The contents stop blending.	The contents are too thick.	• Add liquid to the recipe. • Use the tamper to mix contents. • Pulse food.
	The motor overheated.	Unplug the product and let it cool down for an hour.
The food is too watery.	The food is overprocessed.	Pulse the food on the Custom Blend setting to prevent over blending. Add additional food to thicken.
	There is too much liquid.	Reduce the liquid in the recipe. See How to Use Preset Settings (p. 12–14) for recommended amounts of liquid. Add additional food to thicken.
The food is scorched on the bottom of the pitcher.	There wasn't enough liquid used. The foods used on the Soup or Heated Puree setting contained high-fat/high-sugar.	To clean, make a salt and oil paste with 1 cup (250 mL) salt and 1/2 cup (125 mL) oil. Pour it in the blender, lock the lid, and select the Custom Blend setting. Blend on the lowest speed to break up the burnt-on food. Rinse and run a Heated Wash cycle (p. 14). A soft bristled brush can also be used to scrape any burnt-on food after the pitcher has cooled down. If you're still having difficulty removing scorched food, stop using and contact the Solution Center.
The food isn't fully blending.	The speed is too high for the food being blended. There isn't enough liquid, or the food is too thick to flow back down into the blades.	• Use the tamper to push foods down if they stick to the walls on cold settings. • Use a lower speed to ensure food isn't thrown up the side of the walls. • Add more liquid.
The blender is tripping the GFCI Outlet.	The base of the pitcher has gotten wet from immersion in water or from spraying water directly at the bottom of the pitcher.	Let the blender sit upright for 24 hours in a dry location to allow the bottom to drain the excess water.
Liquid is coming out between the lid and pitcher.	The lid gasket is placed on incorrectly.	Remove the lid from the pitcher. Remove the lid gasket from the lid, flip it, and replace back on the lid.
Bubbles are coming out of the top of the lid during the heated wash cycle.	There was too much soap added, not enough water, or heavy concentrated soap used.	Ensure 3 cups (750 mL) water is in the pitcher and add a splash of vegetable oil to reduce bubbles. Ensure only 1–2 drops of liquid dish soap or 1 tsp (5 mL) of dishwashing powder was used. Heavily concentrated dish soaps may bubble more.
There is overflow during heated settings.	1. You are cooking in a high-altitude area. 2. The pitcher is filled past the max-fill line. 3. You are cooking a high-starch food like rice, pasta, or beans.	1. Use the boil-over guard in place of the vented lid cap when cooking at a high-altitude with a heated setting. 2. Do not overfill the pitcher. 3. The blender wasn't designed for cooking rice, pasta, or beans. Cook these foods separately and mix them in after the heated cycle is complete.
The noise reducing motor plug is looking worn.	It will naturally wear down with use after approximately 500 blending cycles.	Replace the current noise reducing motor plug with the replacement that was included with the blender. To replace the plug, turn off and unplug the blender. Remove the pitcher from the base. Grip one of the fins on the plug and pull up. Place the new plug in by lining up the holes on the bottom with the prongs in the center. If you need another replacement, visit pamperedchef.com or pamperedchef.ca.

If the problem persists or for any unresolved issues, stop using the product and contact Solution Center at (888) 687–2433 (United States) or (800) 342–2433 (Canada) for assistance.
