Buy a blender, several quarts of strawberries, ice and a bottle of rum
and make strawberry daquiris!

That alone wil be worth the price of your blender.

I don't use mine real often, but it's nice to have when you need it. I used
it today for that cauliflower soup that was posted here yesterday. It was
really good. My stick blender would never make it as smooth as the blender
did.

What kind of stick blender do you have? Mine seems to chomp through
anything cooked that I can throw at it, at least so far.

Agree about the blender. I don't use mine all the time either and it's
now been moved to the pantry only to be taken out when needed rather
than sitting on the counter. But it's nice to have.

I have a Bamix. It does a great job but doesn't completely liquefy like the
blender does.

Can you make hummus in one? I thought you needed a Food Processor for that.
I never use my blender. I occasionally use my immersion blender and
daughter sometimes uses the Magic Bullet. Can't remember the last time I
used the blender. Was probably at least 12 years ago.

they don't do the same thing. I thought you were talking about making
smoothies? I think you would be better off with a blender. However,
I would rather have a Ninja setup, one of those for about $49, than
either a blender or a stick blender. The advantage to a stick blender
is that you can put it in the pot and blend right there. You can
still splatter stuff around if you aren't careful. A regular
old-fashioned blender doesn't have the blade construction to work
really well with icy things. The Ninja has a different blade setup
that works throughout the column of food, not just at the bottom. When
the blades work at the bottom, you are depending on a certain amount
of fluidity to begin drawing the jar contents down into the path of
the blade. The little blenders with about a couple of cups of
capacity are good for making bread crumbs, chopping nuts/olives, small
amounts of onion, carrot and the like. They are a wonderful little
tool for all sorts of things. Still, for $19 you can play with it a
bit and see what you can do. I just wouldn't plan on it being a
lifetime investment.

There are 18 different colors! How does one decide among so many choices?

I'd probably go with chrome. Most my appliances are black/chrome... And it
is one of the lower priced colors.

I bought a Ninja blender at Big Lots a month or two ago, on sale for
$25. It has a large pitcher with the motor on top, and double-stack
blades (some of the taller Ninjas have triple-stack blades.) This one
didn't come with any small jars. I have been impressed with it,
especially for making smoothies and frozen daiquiris. And when I use it
to mince onions and peppers it actually chops them more than a normal
blender because it has sharp blades.

It's easier to clean than a blender or a food processor, but not as easy
as a stick blender.

I thought I burned up the motor last weekend making peanut butter. It
overheated and shut off, but it didn't *smell* hot... after about 20
minutes the thermal fuse reset itself and it started working again. The
motor is not vented very well (if at all) and grinding 2 pounds of
peanuts all at once was an unintended torture test.

Don't forget the limes -- or at least lemons or bottled lime juice --
for making those daiquiris.

My 50 year old Oster ($50 back then) outdoes them all.... back then

I use my blender to puree my roasted butternut squash soup (one of my

a "must have" thing but I'd feel like my kitchen was lacking without a

Smoothies are hard work for blenders. I've heard that a cheap one will
die after a few dozen. That, apparently, is why smoothie lovers buy
those $400 blenders.

Can you make mayo with a stick blender? A stand blender does it, but a
processor doesn't.

A couple years ago, KA offered Artisan mixers in 12 colors. Three
shades of black, two whites, plus precious pink, puke green, and
****-yellow.

That's what I have, an Osterizer from way back when. Tackles everything.

Yes, it's really easy. Put the egg, spices, oil in a container, place the
stick blender in the container all the way to the bottom while holding
straight up and turn on. Hold down just like that for about 30 seconds and
it has emulsified very nicely, then just draw the stick blender straight up
slowly and it will be thick. I've never bothered with room temp eggs, and
never had a fail with that method.

Cheri

I use mine only to make smoothies, but they are delish, nutritious and cleaning the blender is not too big a deal.
I toss in:

a banana
some other kind of fruit like papaya, strawberries etc
milk
yogurt
a tad cocoa powder
maybe a bit of brewers yeast.

Mine was a gift, but I've had it for about 15 years and going strong. I'd prob. replace if it died.

My Braun stick blender does a great job of pureeing soup.

I try to keep out of the kitchen when my wife is cooking. She does not
eat potatoes so she didn't appreciate or understand my complaint about
the way she does mashed potatoes or squash. A couple weeks ago she
turned garlic mashed potatoes into gloop. I had explained to her that I
use the beaters on low speed and barely break up the cooked spuds. The
squash was almost like soup, but not good like good squash soup. I made
the mistake of walking into the kitchen while she was doing the squash
on Sunday and found her getting ready to use the stick blender. I guess
that explained how my food was getting pureed.

Stop displaying your profound lack of cullinary intellect, no one
needs a machine to make mayo, a hand held wire whisk works just fine
for the quantity one needs at home, on occasion I've used a fork.

Perhaps you don't use it properly. Most people over load them and
then they wonder why the motor stalls, and after a number of times the
motor windings overheat, the insulation melts, and the motor shorts
out. Every time a blender is over loaded a little more of the motor
windings are destroyed, the unit becomes weaker and weaker until
finally it dies. The appliances folks have at home may say
"professional" but they are far from "commercial".

I agree. I've never had a stick blender but my conventional blender has
been used about once in 20 years. It's nice to have if you need it, but I
never need it. The last time I used mine, about a year ago or so, it
wouldn't even work (due to sitting unused so long). Once I pounded on it a
few times, it started working again.

You should seek help, Jill, if all you want to eat is liquid gruel. Little
chunks of whatever is good in a soup, to me.

I think she is doing just fine. Roasted butternut squash is one of my
favourite soups, as evidenced by may having made a batch of it four
weeks in a row. Whizzing it up with a blender turns it into a wonderful
pureed soup. Everyone who has tried my butternut squash soup has raved
about it.

If you like mayonnaise you owe it to yourself to try making it. There
are not many things that you can get in a jar or a can that taste as
good as home made.

I've made it too, Dave, but I like some chunks of the squash. It's just
different tastes here, or should I say different texture preferences.

I like it. I don't see salad dressing on front anymore. I always thought it
