Black & Decker Blender

Once upon a time a long time ago in Australia, Black & Decker were better known for their power tools more so than their kitchen appliances. Over the years they have transformed that power tool know-how into very good tools for mums to use in the kitchen, instead of just Dad's using their power tools in the backyard shed.  

The Black & Decker Blender is a good example of power-tool muscle. Anyone who has cooked a soup and can't wait for it to cool down to cold, knows precisely how good a heavy-duty blender can be. Just be sure not to try to blend a boiling soup because all you'll end up with is a heck-of-a-mess!

The steam has power and when the motor from the blender starts pushing the boiling soup around it erupts like a volcano and one can get burned very, very quickly.  

No matter which tool or appliances you use in your kitchen, or around your home, please be sure to always follow the safety directions. Pouring hot-soup into a powerful blender is not safe; nor is it using any common-sense. Please, just don't do it. Soup lasts for a half-hour; a burn lasts a lifetime.  

Black and Decker do include a very good safety instruction leaflet with all their products and I strongly advise everyone to read it first, before plugging in the blender. A few minutes reading, could safe you a big mess and /or it could save you from damaging your wonderful new appliances and having to purchase another one; simply because Black & Decker are responsible only for the appliance, not the operator. No one can guarantee against "twits" and it's not reasonable to expect anyone to do so. Always read the safety precautions and the user instructions for every electrical appliance before use.  

To look after your Black and Decker Blender is not difficult. You can put it into the dishwasher but it's better if you don't. Always rinse it directly after use so that no food hardens onto it and it is better if you wash and dry the blender by hand taking especial care with those blades. They really are very sharp and always be sure never to immerse the motor in water as this will likely cause it to 'short out' and electrocute someone. 

Now the good stuff can begin. So, "what are we having for dinner tonight please Mum?"
