Because I had to cook low-carb for DH, I used mine a lot for making
gravies from pot roasts or European-style brisket. I'd skim the pan
jiuces that contained, onions, carrots and celery, they remove any bay
leaves. Stick in the blender and it pureed the veggies into a
starch-free gravy. I might have cheated with a little Kitchen Bouquet
for color. I was surprised at the complements I got on the gravy.

I love my 2 Cuisinart FPs. I also bought their toaster oven 6 years ago
and it's still wonderful.

I have always gotten really good factory support from Cuisinart, so I
remain loyal.
