Tribest Personal Blender /
Grinder PB-200
As versatile as it is portable, the Tribest Personal Blender delivers an
impressive 200 watts of ice-crushing, smoothie-making power wherever you plug it
in. Tribest Personal Blender is compact and smartly designed with high impact
polycarbonate plastic containers for blending, grinding or serving. The
containers conveniently come with a lid for easy storage. Capable of 2 function
modes: One touch short pulsation or press down for continuous blending/grinding
operation.
"Make it your way, in your own cup, and drink up!"
The
Tribest Personal Blender is the all-in-one, high-powered, smoothie-blending,
coffee-grinding, sauce-making wonder with Blend-N-Serve cups for extreme
convenience.
Just put your favorite ingredients in one of the Personal
Blender’s single serving blending cups, screw on the blending assembly, and
place it upside-down on the motor base. Press for pulse mode, or press and twist
for continuous operation. Once you get it to that perfect consistency, just take
off the blending assembly, and drink from the cup.
Not everyone likes the
same ingredients in their smoothies or blended drinks, and it used to be a
hassle to make everyone exactly what they wanted. You would have to stop and
clean that clumsy blending jar every single time you switched recipes. The
Personal Blender, by Tribest, eliminates that hassle. It comes with multiple
Blend-N-Serve cups so you can enjoy your favorite recipe in your own cup, while
making something else for a friend or a loved one in their own cup, without that
extra cleaning step in between. Plus, each cup comes with its own lid for easy
storage.
The Blend-N-Serve cups are made of tough polycarbonate, and are
virtually unbreakable. They’re made from the same material as bullet-proof
glass. The cups completely enclose the blending and grinding blades, keeping the
blades away from probing hands and fingers. The advanced safety features built
into the Personal Blender prevent operation when blades aren’t completely
enclosed within the cup, making it impossible to come in contact with the
spinning blades. An ordinary blender is nowhere near as safe.
Cleaning
up is easy too. Just wash your cup and rinse the screw-on blade assembly, or
just put them in your dishwasher. There’s no more bulky blending jar with its
hard to reach blades and surfaces to clean, since everything is blended right in
your own serving cup!
The powerful 200 watt motor allows you to blend
everything from ice to frozen fruits. With the grinding assembly in the PB-200
model, you can grind coffee, nuts, grains, and even those feisty flax seeds. In
under a minute, you can make your choice of hundreds of delicious and nutritious
recipes. Blending and grinding have never been easier.
Ordinary blenders
come with only one type of blade, designed primarily for wet foods, and do a
poor job when it comes to your dry foods. If wet foods are blended first, you
have to wait until the blades are clean and dry to switch to dry foods. The
Personal Blender model PB-200 comes with both a wet food Blending Assembly, and
a dry foods Grinding Assembly, which means you don’t have to wait for the blades
to dry when switching in from wet to dry foods.
The lightweight and
compact design of the Personal Blender allows you to take it with you wherever
you go. Pack it up in a suitcase, or leave it at your office desk for smoothies
while you’re on the go. The slim body of the Personal Blender allows for easy
handling on your kitchen top, and can even lifted like a martini shaker for
agitation of the ingredients.
You’ll appreciate the power, versatility,
and convenience that the Personal Blender will bring into your life, so order
yours today.
"With the Tribest Personal blender, life’s a whole lot
tastier."
Operating Guidelines
Plug the power cord
into desired outlet (wall or inverter).
Fill the Container
with desired ingredients
Blending : at
least 1/4-cup liquid for any recipe-up to 1 1/4-cup maximum liquid
Grinding : at
least 1/4-cup for any recipe-up to 1/2-cup maximum
Cover and close
tightly the Blender/Grinder Blade onto Blending/Grinding Container, invert and
place into Motor Base.
Turn Blender/Grinder
to fit into small notch (groove), once in place, press down. For pulsing, press
down and release. For continuous use, press down and turn Blender/Grinder to the
right (clockwise) until you hear a click.
Machine will stay on
until you press down and turn to the left (counterclockwise). This stops the
Blending/Grinding.
Lift Blender/Grinder
top off and turn it onto its top side, to open the Blade unit. Pour into
appropriate serving container, or drink right out of the Blender
Container.
Rinse parts, and
store for next use.
Cleaning and Storage
Keep your appliance
ready for use on the kitchen counter.
When it is not being
used, leave it unplugged.
Store blades in a
convenient, safe place out of children's reach as you would with sharp
knives.
All parts except the motor base are hand washable (water
temperature should not exceed 104 F. To simplify cleaning, rinse
blending/grinding Containers and Blades immediately after use so food does not
dry on them.
When you wash the Blades by hand, do it carefully. Avoid
leaving them in soapy water, where they may disappear from sight.
The
Blending/Grinding Container is made of a strong and clear plastic polycarbonate
with high-impact resistance. Its smooth surface will look new for years when
properly maintained. Keep a sponge handy as you work and wipe spills from base.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on base.
The rubber feet on the bottom of
the motor base will keep the Blender from moving on most work surfaces when the
machine is processing heavy loads. Clean the rubber feet regularly. When the
rubber feet are dirty, the machine could move on counter. If feet leave spots on
the counter, spray with spot remover and wipe with a damp sponge. If any trace
of spot remains, repeat procedure and wipe the area with a damp sponge and
non-abrasive cleaner.
FAQ Articles
Does
the Tribest Personal Blender™ 'chop' ice?
Yes, ice
is easily chopped. If you want to make a 'smoothie', add 3 or 4 ice cubes to the
recipe and make it refreshingly cool. Snow cones can also be blended with just
ice and a bit of fruit juice concentrate flavoring. During hot weather these
recipes are a great way to cool down.
Can the Tribest Personal Blender™ grind nuts?
Yes, you can grind nuts into A NUT 'MEAL' or a Finely powdered nut. For
this kind of consistency, make sure the nuts are totally dry before putting into
the blender. Please note, the blender is not built to make nut butters. It will
easily make pates and sauces with nuts – look in our recipe book for
suggestions.
What is the maximum amount of liquid and food to put into the
blender container?
The blender volume will hold 1 and
1/2 cups of liquid and solids. To avoid overflowing, stay at or under these
amounts. The ratio of 1 cup of liquids and 1/2 cup of solids is recommended, or
1 cup of solids with 1/2 cup of liquids can also be blended
safely.
Can the blender process flaxseeds into flax
meal?
The smaller, wider based blender container is
perfect for grinding flax and other small seeds. Put the seeds dry into the
smaller container, using the blade that fits this blender container, and pulse
or leave the blender on continuous blending for the consistency you desire.
Flax, sunflower, pumpkin, and sesame seeds can easily be blended into a 'meal'
or finely powdered consistency.
Does the Tribest Personal Blender™ make salad
dressings?
Yes, easily. Use the ingredient ratio of
liquids to solids to make sure you don't overflow - 1/2 cup liquids to 1 cup
solids. If a thinner dressing is desired, add more liquids: oils, lemon juice,
vinegar, or soft 'fruits' (I.e. avocado, sliced tomatoes).
How can fruit sauces be made in the Tribest Personal
Blender™?
Many different kinds of fruit 'sauces' can
be simply blended whether it be apple sauce, pear sauce, or peach sauce. Add
half the fruit with at least 1/4 cup liquid - water or juice works well - and
then blend. Add the remaining fruit to thicken the sauce. If softer fruit sauces
are desired - like blueberry, raspberry, or other berries - just blend the fruit
alone. No other liquid is needed as these fruits are easily
"sauced."
Does the Tribest Personal Blender™ make baby
food?
Yes, as many varieties as you can create from
raw fruits, raw vegetables, or lightly steamed vegetables. Caution: if you are
blending hot foods - use a pot holder or other protection for your hands when
you take the blender off its base. The blender material does heat up - avoid
burning your hands.
Is the Tribest Personal Blender™ container dishwasher
safe?
Yes, the blender container can be put into a
dishwasher. We recommend that you hand wash the containers and blades. This way
your blender is clean and ready to use at any time. No need to wait until the
dishwasher is full, cleaned, and cleared out.
Can the Tribest Personal Blender™ process hot
foods?
Yes, the blender container and blade can
process freshly cooked foods that are hot. However, when touching the blender
container - please protect your hands with a pot holder or a thick towel. The
blender container can and does heat up quickly. Avoid burning your
hands.
