FAQs
Can I use this blender directly in a hot pan?
Yes, the stainless steel shaft is designed to withstand high temperatures, making it ideal for blending hot soups directly in the pot.
Is this blender dishwasher safe?

What is the primary difference between the two speed settings?
The lower speed is designed for gentle blending of liquids, while the higher setting is for thicker mixtures. The Turbo button provides an instant burst of full power.
Can I crush ice with this blender?
