Simply push the blender down onto the food. The blended food will be pressed through
the side walls of the blending head. Repeat the process on multiple places of the utensil,
making sure you do not miss any. If you are sure that all food has been blended, the food
is ready. Leave the blender running after taking it out of the food, in order that the food
residues fall off the attachment.
About mashing Potatoes
Mashed potato is a crushed mixture of cooked potato with added milk, cream, butter, and
herbs to taste. Importantly, the potato needs to be crushed so that the starch grains remain
relatively intact. If the starch grains are ruptured by either over-cooking or aggressive
blending, they release amilose which imparts an unacceptable ‚glue‘ like texture. The
masha uses an extrusion process rather than a cutting or blending action so that the starch
grains remain intact.
Cooking is important
Peel and cut the required amount of potato into approx. 2.5cm cubes. Race in cool water,
and heat to boiling. Boil gently until the pieces offer little resistance to a knife. This takes
15-20 minutes. Cutting the potatoes into smaller pieces, and heating the water from cold,
allows the potatoes to cook thorough evenly. Larger pieces placed in hot water tend to
be overcooked on the outside by the time the inside is cooked. Overcooking the outside
breaks down the starch grains, releasing amilose which results in a glue like consistency
when mashed.
Recipe
Cook 1 kg of potatoes following the instructions above. Add desired quantity of milk, cream,
butter, and seasoning, then process for approximately 20 seconds to a smooth, consistent
mash. Depending on the type of potatoes and the desired consistency you may choose to
add the milk, cream and butter at various stages of mashing.
Other Ingredients
The mixer can also be used with a variety of other vegetables, such as pumpkin, sweet
potato, parsnips or carrots. Simply cook and then mash to a perfectly smooth consistency.
Mixed vegetable combinations are now easy to prepare and great for the kids.
Chopping container express (H)
Be careful, the blades of the knife are very sharp! Do not use the knife for processing
washy pastes! It is intended for chopping (mincing) all kinds of tough food (e.g. fruit,
vegetables, nuts, almonds, hard cheese, boiled eggs or for preparing purée). Seize the knife
H2 for its upper plastic part and insert to central shaft H1 inside the vessel H (Fig. 5). Give
the foodstuffs in the vessel. Put the cover H3 with seal upon the vessel. Insert the driving
unit to the cover H4 so that it locked in the cover. The amount of foodstuffs and orientation
times for processing are given in the Table. After having finished the work, remove the knife
in the opposite way.
You can use speed I for processing. The maximum time of processing is 1 minute. Then
wait for 10 – 15 minutes, which is necessary for the drive unit to cool down.
