It wasn't phased by anything we threw at it: the asymmetric stainless steel blade is set at angles to draw ingredients in as such, it breaks down even the toughest ingredients so you can be sure it'll tackle hard veg and fruit easily, nuts, and fibrous roots such as ginger, without it being chopped down first вЂ“ and you don't need to pre-crush ice, pre-chop leafy greens, soften ice cream or butter.ДЄs for the spatter we've sometimes suffered when trying out blenders, there's no problem with this one: the K400 blender has a soft-start feature which begins the motor at a slower speed to fold in ingredients and then quickly increases to avoid splatter.

My personal favorite function is the icy drink setting as the blender gradually ramps up to full power to blend hard foods вЂ“ ideal for cocktails, blended coffee drinks, frozen fruits and more.ДЄnother great function is smoothie вЂ“ the blender operates at high speed to puree the ingredients to make yogurt or ice cream or the perfect healthy smoothie (or unhealthy but delicious milkshake).ДЇinally, the clean function, which uses quick pulses of power for 45 seconds to clean the jar (fill it first with warm soapy water) of your blended creations with ease. It's a mess-free way to crush ice, with the blender running at its highest speed for 30 seconds. The ice crush function is particularly useful (we used it a lot when the weather was hot and to make cocktails during lockdown). Leave it on (or leave the room), and this function will automatically stop after three minutes. The pulse function allows you to manually control the precise duration and frequency of blending, and this function is recommended for making salsa and chopping nuts, fruits and vegetables. Simply choose your speed setting and press the 'start' button to begin blending (or to stop blending if you don't use the automatic timing function). What's the KitchenAid K400 Artisan blender like to use?Д®asy! For starters, the blender has a simple one to five speed setting on its dial вЂ“ and you can easily adjust it to make everything from soups, sauces and purees to doughs and frozen desserts.
