I think that might come in handy next month when we paint the house! Up
until now, I really hated mixing paint!

You can also get a paint stirrer that goes into your drill.

That looks like a really nice stick blender. Congrats, and a
great price, too.

Ha, it actually does remind me of that paint mixer drill attachment.

I have one. It's very nice. I like the fact that I can pop the stick
off of the motor to wash it well.

Yeah, I've had one for a couple of years. Don't use it more than a
couple of times a month but now couldn't imagine getting by without it.
To wash it I stick the stick in the dishwater ... run it for a few
seconds and then pop it off the motor.

If I had a dishwasher I'd wash it in there, but I'm the dishwasher in my
home.

The attachment for a drill to mix paint is just another fairly
worthless gadget and a waste of your money. "Order in the next 15
minutes and get a second one free."

What two things a month do you use it for? I've been toying with buying one - but it WON'T be Cuisinart. I'm the one here who bought the lousy waffle iron they make.

I've found them useful for mixing up leftover paint, but
more I've used a large one to mix up those 5 gallon pails
of house stain. They work better for me than the wood stick.

FWIW - there is no way in Hell that I would use Becca's new hand mixer
to mix paint... it was joke.... and apparently not a good one since
people thought I was serious.

When I paint, we get the stuff mixed where we buy it. I don't stockpile
paint so there isn't any around here old enough to separate that would
require mixing.

I didn't notice anyone thinking you were serious, I certainly
know it was a joke.

While I do keep leftover paint around for the occasional
touch up, mostly I cannot complete my painting projects
in one day and the paint has settled somewhat between sessions.

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.

Mine, too, but it's a Cuisinart.

I love my 2 Cuisinart FPs. I also bought their toaster oven 6 years ago

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

If I have to mix paint, I use a wooden stick from the paint store and my
wrist.

How did you end up with two?

I was not happy about the big split, but when the housing broke on my
old "Cuisinart" that was really a Robot Coupe - I bought what was not
outrageously priced and went with Cuisinart brand. Never had a
problem with it and that one is so old the plastic is yellow now. We
have their toaster too (the "Classic" 2 slice toaster with the rounded
corners). No problems with that either and it has to be older than
yours.

Factory support?

I needed factory support when I was first married. Bought a Braun
mixer because I couldn't bring myself to pay for a Kitchen Aid. I
wanted to make bread and it was highly rated for that purpose. I
burned the motor out twice in a matter of weeks and had it repaired
each time. The third time I burned it out, the Braun factory rep came
to my door and gave me a new machine. I was so traumatized by the
experience that I put it on a shelf and didn't use a stand mixer again
for any reason. Years later, I taught myself how to make bread in the
FP and never looked back. My FP does a great job at kneading dough!

I got that it was a joke, though at the price that I paid for
this off brand one, I could have bought a second one for paint.
A local supermarket had them clearanced to $8.99.
http://www.amazon.com/Immersion-Blen.../dp/B00CBOQVQ0

I'm sitting here with the *butt scootin' blues*, a very sore lower
back that is 100% my own fault. When the kayak drags in shallow
water, don't repeatedly scoot the damned thing. Get out of the
boat and walk it to the deeper water, like my more sensible better
half did. Still, the river was nice. We encountered zero other
boaters, and no one else other than a wading group of three trout
anglers. It was a 6.6 mile float for only a 3.3 mile hike over
the mountain. First time camping with no alcohol in 30+ years,
which was horribly rough, but necessary. Oh, and next time,
permethrin and/or DEET. Chiggers suck.

Back in 1995, I bought the Little Pro (no longer available) because we
were going to live in the RV and it was much more storable. When we
moved into the house, I wanted a bigger one so I found a good deal on
Kohl's web site and got a larger unit. The small one has a juicer
attachment that I have used for grapefruit and lemons. Since I'm cooking
for one, it gets used more often now.

I have a Kitchen Aid stand mixer and two FPs. I prefer to knead by
hand. I don't trust any machine to tell me when my dough is ready.

OIC! When I bought my second one, it came with a mini FP... but I
gave it away as a bridal shower gift. A few years later, I bought
myself a mini and used it until I thought the blades were too dull.
Then I bought my mini-Ninja a couple of years ago and have been happy
with that ever since.

Not me. I'd never make bread or more importantly, pizza dough, if I
had to do that. I started off finishing dough by hand, but I let the
FP do it all now that I know the look and feel that I'm after.

Eggzactly... I just had my corrugated steel barn roof coated with
aluminized goop... no way can those big buckets of thick goop be mixed
by hand with a stick.

Same here, Dave, I can not imagine living without a stick blender. BTW,
I've had a dishwasher all my life, but I have been living without one
for 2 years, now. We will be refurbishing the kitchen, soon, and we
decided that we do not need a dishwasher. My youngest son thinks I am
crazy, he can not live without one, and he lives alone.

It sounds like you had a great time hiking, kayaking and camping, and
you were able to do this sober. Did you tell us about your outdoor
cooking, yet? I have not read ahead. Hope your back feels better, soon.

For a part. The Little pro has had the blade replaces as well as the
bowl and top. Blade because it got used up and bowl and top because
they yellowed and the bowl did crack near the top.

Paint should be stirred occasionally while painting... I leave the
stirring stick in the can while painting. And those paint can shakers
at the store work well for paint that's been sitting on the store
shelf for who knows how long, but paint begins to settle even before
you get it home... directions on the can say to stir periodically
while painting. Professional painters "box" their paint, they pour
half into two empty cans and then pour it back and forth several
times, does a better job than stirring and is faster and easier...
it's also the method used to ensure that when using several cans on a
job there's no color variation. The guys that coated my barn roof
boxed... the roof took over six 4 3/4 gallon buckets... they're five
gallon buckets but with roof coating the buckets are not full, needs
space for stirring.

This was a lifetime warranty? I'm lucky if I know where my receipt
after 6 months.

It's coming back to me why I don't like painting. Next time
I'm calling Gary. (just kidding!)

After staining our house last year, then painting my mother's
house on the hottest days of hell a couple of weeks later, we
have a moratorium on any painting jobs until next year. Or
beyond.

It came out great, and you saved the roof.

Every once in a while I clean out my wallet or drawers and come across
almost blank slips of paper that used to be bills or bank receipts.
Those things fade away in just a few months.

Not a lifetime warranty. I did have to pay for the parts, but they were
very nice and offered to ship them for free.

Not just two things, but about twice a month. Most often pureeing
veggies for cream of whatever soups and making gravies. I whip up lots
of eggs with it. I like the way you can work a lot of air into eggs.

If I'm not careful I can also toss a lot of food around the kitchen with
it. (I was reminded of that when somebody suggested using it to mix
paint. :-)

You certainly won this debate, Sheldon. I was holding off responding
to see what everyone here said. I've been a "professional" painter
for over 41 years now. Boxing the paint is the very best way and
that's what we always do. It works much better than a paint store
shaker.

First you scrape the bottom of the can to loosen all the settled paint
solids. Once you do that, it's a matter of technique to bring it to
the surface. You give the paddle a swirl then swish it up at the end
of each stroke.

You can quickly stir up a 'less than full gallon' of paint with a
stick. If a full gallon, best to pour off a little of it into a 2nd
bucket, then stir the remaining, then box them together.

Breaking out a drill thing is nifty but not necessary and will usually
take up more of your time.

Truth is, Ron painted houses with his dad for a living for
a while, and my ex's family owned apartment buildings and
also paid the bills by having his own painting company for
some time, so I have, indeed, mixed paint with a stick many
times. I never boxed it, I watched. That's men's work. (laugh)

Spending my weekends painting all those apartments probably put me
off the idea of being a landlord forever.

To each his own, I am sure professional painters don't bother
with the drill thing, but I have found it useful. Handy.
It's not a big deal to use it or not.

I might be wrong but I think Gary is a professional painter Gary?

I've been doing it for a living for over 41 years now. I did learn the
trade well over the years and I am one of the "high priced" painters.
That said, it's no big deal to me...I could have done better with my
career. I'll do better in my next life. heheh I can and will offer a
decent opinion of what to do for anyone that asks.

The drill attachment for mixing paint will certainly work but too much
trouble and time for me. We never use one and we do have better
methods. Using a wooden paddle and boxing is the normal way. The
paint store shakers do a decent job but still they don't mix it all
that well. You should still mix those a little better before starting.

Glad to hear that you are a successful painter, and for over 41 years, I
wish you lived closer. Finding a painter around here, who is sober, is
hard to do. I can see why you are successful, you probably stay sober.
