Once done, I had a very good salsa with just the right consistency (the chunks of pineapple are added in at the end). There’s a travel cup in the box, so you can tip in your ingredients, blend up a drink, screw on the travel cup and you’re good to go. Ninja’s precision-engineered blades are built to last, made from durable, high-quality stainless steel and put to the test with 1000 ice-crushing cycles. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. From silky smoothies, healthy breakfast drinks, crushed-ice cocktails, sorbets and desserts to savoury sauces, dips and dressings, this next-generation blender effortlessly takes you from breakfast to dinner.

An extremely powerful blender, the Ninja 2-in-1 Blender With Auto IQ BN750UK can make short work of tough ingredients, effortlessly crushing ice and blending drinks. A 700ml individual blender cup is included, which locks directly onto the base to use with its speed settings.On close examination, you can see tiny pieces of the mint leaves, finely chopped, and the coconut flakes were broken down into smaller pieces similar to desiccated coconut.

While the Single-Serve cup has a traditional screw-in blade system, the Total Crushing Jug uses Ninja’s multi-bladed attachment, which cuts ingredients at different heights throughout the jug. The handle should be aligned slightly to the right and the pitcher should be oriented so the LOCK symbols are visible on the motor base. There’s a slight tendency for the snow to get pressed against the sides but you can easily break it up.Instead, the blender operates using a frighteningly named 'total crushing' blade system that extends up a central stem rather than sitting at the bottom. Place the lid on the pitcher, aligning the triangle symbol on the lid with the triangle symbol on the handle.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) must never be placed in any of your household wheelie bins. Using the automatic Crush programme, my ice cubes were soon reduced to a fine snow, perfect for frozen desserts. The Ninja 2-in-1 Blender With Auto IQ BN750UK threw a load of it into the air but chunks stuck to the bottom and weren’t touched by the jug’s blades. The patented Pro Extractor Blade easily creates super-smooth results in the single-serve cup, blending even the toughest ingredients including fibrous fruit and vegetables, nuts, seeds and even ice.There are three speed settings that you can use yourself for constant speed (Low, Medium and High) plus a Pulse button that runs at full speed. Once the ingredients have reached your desired consistency, press the active button again, and wait for the unit to come to a complete stop. It's incredibly efficient at reaching and drawing ingredients down during blending for smooth results. Ninja has a very powerful 1200W motor in the base, which is just about as powerful as blenders go in the UK. Coming in a sleek black and silver finish and with a recipe guide included in the box, the Ninja BN750UK Multi Serve 2-in-1 blender is your ideal kitchen companion.
