The Smeg family of small appliances for food preparation has been enriched with an important new addition: the high-performance blender. Contemporary aesthetics, introducing minimalist lines and trendy finishes, embrace the range of new blenders.
The high-performance blender comes in two models: BLC01 in matt white and matt black, and BLC02 in matt emerald green with the vacuum pump accessory, which allows air to be extracted from the carafe to prevent it from coming into contact with the ingredients, reducing oxidation and preserving colors, flavors, and nutrients.
The high-performance blender, with its 1400 Watt motor, has a compact body embellished with a brushed aluminum front panel in the center of which is the 9-speed control knob with LCD display showing the selected speed, the count-up in manual mode, and the count-down of the automatic programs.
In addition, one of the automatic functions and the Pulse function can be selected from the control panel to precisely control the duration and frequency of blending.
Each blend achieves surprising results thanks to the 5 dedicated automatic programs: from Smoothie to Green Smoothie, for specific treatment of green leafy vegetables; Frozen Dessert, for fresh spoon desserts; Ice Crush, for crushing ice or preparing cocktails and iced drinks. For the Smoothie, Green smoothies, and Frozen Dessert programs, the Single Serve or Family Serve modes can also be activated, through which single or multiple servings can be prepared. Finally, the automatic cleaning function allows the carafe to be cleaned quickly after each use, facilitating the preparation of several recipes in sequence. The high-performance blender can perfectly combine different textures, allowing you to blend ingredients for a wide variety of preparations in minutes, such as nut butter, flour, vegetable milk, or warming soups.
The Tritan Renew jug with a 30 ml measuring cap is both durable and lightweight, with a 1.5 l capacity that allows for easy handling. The automatic preset program, in addition to being dishwasher-safe, can be activated for quick and thorough cleaning.
A practical set of accessories completes the product, making it even easier to use. The press, useful for thicker preparations such as dried fruit butter or cold desserts, can be used to convey ingredients into the central cutting area; the spatula facilitates the collection of food residues inside the jug. Finally, the included brush is useful for carefully removing any food residues from the blade area.
