Expert Tip: 5 Things to Avoid for Safe & Smooth Blending

Here are six things to avoid while blending:

1. Do not run your blender for too long: Run the blender at intervals of 30 seconds, allowing for brief pauses in between each interval. Use the pulse and pause method. This will help prevent overheating, enabling a smooth blending process.

2. Avoid oiling your electric blender: Oiling may damage the motor and alter the performance of the blender. It can also cause food contamination, ruining the texture and taste.

3. Do not blend dry ingredients without pre-soaking: When blending hard ingredients like tiger nuts, rice, or beans, it is essential to pre-soak for effective blending. Allow ingredients to soak for a sufficient duration to rehydrate and tenderize. 

Pre-soaking reduces friction, making it easier for the blender's blade to cut through the ingredients, resulting in a smooth blend.

You can also use hot water for soaking. Soaking in hot water can help hasten the process of softening, making them easier to blend.

5. Do not overload the blender jar: Leave about 10-15cm of space between the ingredients and the top of the jar. This allows for adequate room for blending and helps prevent spills. With a Vic-sode 5L or 2L blender, you have the opportunity to blend in larger quantities. 

6. Never blender without the lid on: Always ensure the blender lid is securely in place before blending. These safety precautions help to avoid messy splatters and spills, protects from flying ingredients and sharp blades.
