1912 Midland Metal

Spinners was founded by

George Cadman, who was

then 65 years old, as a metal

holloware manufacturing

company, in St. Mark’s Street,

Wolverhampton. They later

moved into the Tower and

Fort Works in Pelham Street,

which ultimately gave rise

to the famous Tower brand

name.

1937 Tower exhibited some

of their latest holloware

designs at the British

Industries Fair. As you can

see from the original poster,

their stand No. A410 must

have been a great sight as

it promoted their “Beautiful,

inexpensive, untarnishable

Plate, at prices all can afford

to pay”.

1961 Tower became one of

the largest manufacturers

of aluminium holloware,

electric kettles, tea pots and

other household articles

with over 1,000 employees.

1974 Russell Hobbs took

ownership of the expanding

Tower brand.

The Tower Stainless

Steel Glass Jar Blender

with Grinder will make

a wonderful addition to

your kitchen. It has all

the power to take on the

toughest kitchen jobs such

as puréeing, emulsifying,

blending and grinding.

Make delicious smoothies,

soups, sauces, dips and

cocktails.

Making the most of your Blender

• Adding porridge oats to your smoothie gives you an energy boost.

• The cheapest way to get in season, delicious fruit is by buying frozen fruit.

• Frozen fruit helps make your smoothie extra thick.

• To add a burst of avour, add the juice of half a lime.

• Adding kale to your smoothie helps boost your immune system. Whereas spinach, carrots

and red pepper give you an extra health boost thanks to their antioxidant content.

• Adding nuts helps your smoothie become more of a breakfast, rather than just a drink.

• When using lime, roll it under your hand to break the cells. This gives you more juice from it.

• Spinach is avourless in a smoothie, yet very healthy, so don’t be afraid to throw a lot in.

• Coconut water is a popular liquid to use in smoothies.

• Dandelion greens and kale aid your body’s detoxication process.

1. To achieve the best results when puréeing solid ingredients, place small portions into

the jug.

2. If you are processing solid ingredients, cut them into small pieces (2-3cm.

3. When mixing solid ingredients start off with a small amount of liquid.

4. Gradually add more liquid through the lid opening.

5. Always place your hand on top of the blender when you are opening the appliance.

6. Be careful when processing hot liquids.

7. For stirring solid or very thick liquid ingredients, we recommend that you use the blender

in pulse mode to prevent the blades from sticking.
