Quick, simple food preparation is easy with the Avance Cooking Blender. Its four pre-set programs combine heating and blending, while the Philips ProBlend 6 technology offers consistent blending performance as well as effective mixing, chopping, and grinding. The ergonomic control panel is angled to improve UI and the intuitive knob is straightforward to use - rotate left to cook and right to blend. The transparent glass jar holds 1.5 liters (four to six portions) and all parts are detachable and dishwasher safe. The Cooking Blender also comes with a region-specific recipe book.
