Which blender speed settings should I use?

Your blender has variable speeds and a Pulse option for customised blending. While the speed settings below are handy guide, it all depends on the results you’re after. Keep experimenting to find the best speed for your favourite recipes.

Pulse

This burst of power gives you precise control of the length and time of blending. Ideal for recipes that require a light touch. Use pulse to make savoury crumb topping, sweet crumb topping, sandwich filling, chopped fruit, chopped vegetables, and crushed ice.
