When it comes to using a blender, most of us think of making delicious soups and smoothies. And while your stand mixer’s blender attachment is perfect for making both, with this versatile attachment that really is just the beginning.

Use it to quickly blitz hot or cold ingredients to make sauces, dips, spreads, nut butters, baby food, milkshakes, cocktails- even desserts. It’s quick and easy to use, and after you’re done, it’s just as easy to clean. Apart from the blade unit, all parts are safe to go in the dishwasher.

Working from your machine’s high-speed outlet and with its unique Blend X multizone blades for superior blending, the blender attachment will save you time and energy as you use it to effortlessly blend endless creations.

The generously sized 1.6L jug is made from temperature resistant glass, allowing you to blend even piping hot ingredients straight from the pan or crush ice for smoothies or cocktails, with no risk of clouding or shattering. Your stand mixer’s variable speed control means you are in complete control of consistency, while the accompanying stir stick comes in handy to prevent any clogging when processing thicker mixtures like smoothies, chunky soups or dips.

To use, simply place your ingredients in the goblet and blend at the required speed until you have achieved your desired consistency. The attachment’s instruction manual provides some helpful guidance on recommended blending speeds and times for different ingredients.
