The Avance Cooking Blender has an integrated cooking function and allows speedy and simple preparation of smoothies as well as hot soups. Four programmes control combined heating and blending, while the so-called ProBlend-6 technology assures simultaneous blending, mixing, mincing and grinding. The user interface is slightly tilted and ergonomic; use of the rotary control knob is intuitive and uncomplicated – for cooking turn to the left, for blending turn to the right.
