chops, crumbs, emulsifies, or purees foods

to suit your rccipe needs. Keep your blender

handy where you can use it every time there

is a timesaving job it can do.

This includes almost every meal. In each,

there is one or more steps that the blender

can do faster and easier than you can do

it by hand. Even traditional dishes that have

always been made the long way around adapt

beautifully to the blender. Mcxican favorites

are good cxamples. The Gnacamole appctizer

blendcr to work on them. Think of all the

vegetables, fruits, and nuts that no longer

need to be chopped by hand. Visu;dizc the

delectable salads and desserts in which thesc

foods appear. Brcad and cracker crumbs are
