Right, it has a plastic housing. Like I said, what would be the point
of a stainless steel housing. Actually were the housing metal it
could possibly cause electrocution. I don't own a stick blender...
once I moved from baby food to junior food I never went back... I
don't enjoy pureed soups. Even when I make pea soup I don't cook it
to death, I like it to have some solids; I want it to have texture, I
want to discern the peas, the taters, carrots, onions, and especially
the bits of ham what fall off the bone... once pureed it may as well
be that green library paste what comes outta a can. And pureed bean
soup is disgusting, it's like it's already been eaten.
