KitchenAid Torrent™ Blender Functions and Suggested Food Items

The four pre-set recipe programs were each developed based on typical recipes in that category. However, you’ll find that not all recipes are exactly the same, and sometimes a particular recipe might blend more to your preference on a program that is not obvious. For example, some milkshakes with frozen fruit blend better on the Icy Drinks/Smoothies program. Also, when making smoothies, you might prefer the finer texture that the Juice program creates. We encourage you to experiment to find the best program for your favorite recipes.
