Blenders are quickly becoming a staple kitchen electrical that is now commonly found in everyday kitchens across the UK. The blender market is seeing an up-rise in popularity, mainly due to the change in people's lifestyles and diets, for reasons such as health and general self-improvement. They are a great way of kick starting any healthy eating regime and are quick and easy to learn if you have never used one before.

Primarily blenders are associated with smoothies for the health conscious and individuals with busy lives that are always on the go. However there are so many more uses for a blender than a traditional smoothie. The Sage Super Q blender is highly versatile complete with a wide variety of functions and settings that go beyond just making smoothies.

The Pulse / Ice Crush program is designed with a constant pulse to chop and crush hard lumps of ice that are tough and awkward. This program is also great for blitzing ingredients such as frozen fruits and vegetables, resulting in a smooth consistency. Frozen bananas can be blended using this function as they can be tough to breakup, but pulse prevents the lumps of banana sticking together or stuck in the cutting blades.

This setting is perfect for dairy based smoothies. The program combines a perfect pre-set speed and pulses to mix and break down the ingredients to the ideal consistency. As well as this, the program has a preset time to make sure all the ingredients are smooth and creamy. This program is ideal for soft fruits like strawberries, raspberries, mango, bananas pls berries, oats and nuts for a full rounded flavour.

The Green Smoothie program features a pre-set high speed setting for breaking down fibrous greens and creating a smooth mix, breaking down the tiniest of particles. Particularly ideal for leafy greens with tough stems as the blender will adjust the speed to chop greens efficiantly for a delicious smoothie.

This program features a high speed to break down frozen fruits to a scoopable consistency ready to serve for a delicious dessert. This is especially good for strawberries, mango and forest fruits. The tamper can be used whilst making desserts to make sure all of the ingredients are scooped down from the side and mixed in throughly.

The soup setting allows cold ingredients to be blended and heated to a smooth hot soup ready to serve. The high speed program ends on a slow stir to enable steam and bubbles to be released so the soup is easy to serve. Raw ingredients and liquids are added at the beginning of the program and will be heated and cooked. Please note: Raw meat or fish products must be cooked beforehand if using in this cold to hot soup program.

This setting allows the blender jug to be cleaned easily and efficiently straight after use by adding warm water to the jug and activating the clean setting. A tiny drop of washing up liquid can be added for stubborn stains and placed back onto the blender base, after running the cleaning setting, simply rinse with clean water and dry gently, carefully avoiding the blades.

The speed dial ranges from a slow stir to a high speed blend, granting you complete control. The higher speeds are designed for milling grains, seeds, nuts and spices, whereas the slower speeds are better for blending mayonnaise or whipping cream, ideal for preventing over mixing.
