Braun Multiquick 5 Hand Blender

Hand Blender (see Diagram A)

The hand blender is ideal for preparing dips, sauces, soups, mayonnaise, baby food, and for mixing drinks, smoothies, or milk shakes.

1. Click the motor part (3) onto the blender shaft (5) until it locks with a "click" sound.
2. Position the hand blender deep in a bowl or beaker.
3. Press switch (1) or (2) to operate.
4. After use, press the release buttons (4) to detach the motor part.

When blending directly in a saucepan, remove the pan from the heat source first to prevent splashing of boiling liquid (risk of scalding).

Recipe Example: Mayonnaise

• 250 g oil (e.g., sunflower oil)
• 1 whole egg and 1 extra egg yolk
• 1-2 tbsp. vinegar (approx. 15 g)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients (at room temperature) in the beaker. Place the hand blender at the bottom and operate at maximum speed until emulsifying. Slowly raise the shaft to incorporate the rest of the oil. Processing time: 1-2 minutes.

Whisk (see Diagram A)

Use the whisk only for whipping cream, beating egg whites, and mixing sponges and ready-mix desserts.

1. Insert the whisk (6b) into the whisk gear box (6a).
2. Click the motor part (3) onto the gear box.
3. Place the whisk deep in a bowl.
4. Press switch (1) to operate.
5. After use, press the release buttons (4) to detach the motor part. Then pull the whisk out of the gear box.

For Best Results:

• Use a medium-sized bowl.

Maximum operation time for the «hc» chopper: 2 minutes. Do not chop extremely hard food like ice cubes, nutmeg, coffee beans, or grains.

Before Chopping:

• Pre-cut meat, cheese, onions, carrots into smaller pieces.
• Remove stems from herbs and shells from nuts.
