A Must Have Tool for the Kitchen
I was at work this afternoon, and lying in the kitchen was a Cuisinart hand-held mixing contraption, the kind used to make smoothies and the like. I asked the nurse who owned it to how much it was, and was she pleased with it (my original question was to see if it could crush ice for smoothies I make at home in a blender-her answer was “unlikely”)?
Her explanation was that this was an excellent addition to her kitchen tool chest, and that besides making smoothies, she uses it to make food for her infant, puree vegetables and soups, and chop a whole lot of other items in the kitchen. Like me, she makes everything from scratch.
In an effort to promote good health and nutrition, an occasional gadget in the kitchen may be what you need to have a little fun there. I am sure the manufacturer has a cook book to accompany this product, giving the owner more ideas than they ever dreamed of, as to how to make good use of this tool.
For me, I am sneaking out this weekend to buy one for myself. Immediate uses? More latter…
If you own one, let me know the best use you have found so far.

I own one and this tool is great for correcting lumpy gravy or sauces! You can even use it directly in a saucepan. It’s also great to use for mixing protein powder with juice or water without having to clean a blender–right in the cup or glass.
Best, deb
I agree. It makes you a better cook, making better meals!
