Types of nozzles
Nozzles are made of plastic or metal. The metal accessories are characterized by increased wear resistance, durability, long service life and resistance to high temperatures. The main disadvantage is the high price compared to plastic counterparts.
Nozzles have different cell sizes, which determines the parameters of the finished product. Most often, accessories with cells of 8x8 and 11x11 mm are used. The large grill is suitable for slicing vegetables for first courses (soups), vegetables (stews). An extended configuration option consists of nozzles with small and large square-shaped cells and rhombuses. From the aesthetic side, dishes from neatly cut products (of the same size and shape) look beautiful and appetizing.

Dice Nozzles - Application
Thanks to the blender, which cuts into cubes, in a few minutes you can cook large volumes of vegetable and fruit salads. The main ingredients used for slicing are:

- It is very important to lay food evenly in a blender.
- Slicing should be performed in translational movements. Of great importance is the correctly selected speed mode, which is governed by the force of pressing, as a result of which the cubes are large or small. The first speed is suitable for boiled vegetables and soft exotic fruits, the second - for raw vegetables, cheese and sausage products.
The blender is not intended for dicing hot or frozen products, so pre-cooling or defrosting is required. Also, make sure that no bones or solid particles are present in the products. Soft fruits are not suitable for chopping into cubes: ripe tomatoes, peaches, apricots.

Attention! Before you start slicing, you need to check how well the top cover of the submersible blender fits.
