Top tips on how to use your blender

There’s nothing worse than ending a kitchen session with a big mess. So ensure the lid of your food blender is properly secured. Not putting the lid on correctly will create a huge mess in your kitchen, as well as ruin your meal preparation. But here’s the good news: did you know that the lid of Panasonic’s blender is sealed to prevent leakages?

Food should be cut into smaller portions so that it can better circulate around the blades and be evenly cut. Panasonic’s blender, the MX-V310, is designed to blend a variety of ingredients efficiently using a combination of blades.

Got a touch nut to crack? Luckily, the pulse button on the MX-V310 can also crush hard items such as ice or nuts.

The cleaning mode on Panasonic's MX-V310 blender makes for smooth cleaning without the need to take it apart as often. Simply fill your blender with water and detergent, close the lid securely, then hit the “P2” button for a thorough cleaning of its interior. Trapped leftover food should come loose within 20 seconds, so there’s no need for scrubbing. Once done, rinse the blender jug thoroughly.

Here’s an easy recipe to try for a great start to your day:

Papaya and coconut smoothie (serves two)

Ingredients:
1 large slice of papaya
1 fresh Thai coconut

Directions:
1. Pour the coconut water of the coconut into the blender jug then add the scooped-out flesh of the coconut.
2. Cut your papaya into small cubes and add to your blender.
3. Blend everything together until the texture is smooth, then serve immediately.
