Cooking Tips

cooking tips
  • When making banana shakes, place the bananas in the freezer for a couple of hours before blending - you won’t have to add ice!
  • Instead of using butter in warm sauces, create sauces by slowly drizzling in olive oil while your Oster® blender is on.
  • To find out if oil is the proper temperature for frying foods in your Oster® Deep Fryer, try this trick: drop a cube of white bread into the hot oil. If it browns evenly in:
       60 seconds, oil is 350-365 degrees
       40 seconds, oil is 365-380 degrees
       20 seconds, oil is 380-390 degrees
  • To make 1 cup of cookie or cracker crumbs for pie crusts, use:
       Gingersnaps: 20
       Graham crackers: 20
       Vanilla wafers: 35
    Puree in an Oster® Food Processor.
  • Allow meat to stand at room temperature 1 hour before cooking - this will shorten the cooking time and the meat will brown evenly.
  • To chop or finely grind nuts in an Oster® Food Processor without turning them into a puree, add 2 tablespoons sugar into the jar.
  • Use your Oster® Food Processor to quickly make fruit ices. Freeze the fruit mixture overnight in a shallow metal pan, the next morning put it in the processor and pulse until smooth, working in small batches. Refreeze and serve.
