Use it via the hole, don't remove the lid. 33 When dispensing thick smoothies, remember that you'll need one hand for the tap, and one for the stirrer, so find a stable, flat-bottomed glass, cup, or container, to sit on the work surface, under the tap, for the smoothie. 5 hot liquids 34 No matter how careful you are when using the smoothie maker, some splashing is inevitable. At higher temperatures, splashes on skin can hurt. In extreme cases, they may scald, so, when using hot liquids: a) before pouring into the smoothie maker, let the liquid cool down to the sort of temperature you can handle comfortably b) run the motor only when the cap is fitted ­ to add ingredients, stop the motor, remove the cap, add the ingredients, replace the cap, then re-start the motor c) put a hand on the cap and lid, to hold them in place while blending d) if the lid is too hot for comfort, stop the motor, remove the lid, and let the liquid cool down further ­ replace the lid before blending crushed ice 35 If you're making crushed ice for cocktails, make sure the smoothie maker is clean, then rinse it out thoroughly.
