Is blender gay code for something?

Do not forget the wooden spoons

I think we have a food processor. Not a blender. But I don't know the difference.

You're thinking of a chafing dish.

I'm in the uncanny valley on the matter of a blender. I lucked into an absolute steal on a premium version of a cheap but reliable brand, . . . Specifically, I got a Hamilton Beach with their biggest [1/2 hp] motor and all stainless steel for $5 at a Home Depot small appliance closeout.

So it's nothing to get excited about, but it does everything you need, and is unlikely to break down anytime soon.

Plus, for the big jobs I got one of Kitchenaid's big 11 cup food processors for like $25 [$150 at Bed Bath & Beyond] at the same time.

I didn't ask the question, I just answered it.

And I think what you're looking for is grindr.

Breville is always a good brand for such things though. But I hear Vitamix is excellent, does so much more than a mere blender such as smoothies. You can even make soup in them. Though it has a steep price tag.

I mostly use my NutriBullet especially for smoothies or grinding up flax seeds, nuts etc.

I would isolate in a COVID wing for a Breville Induction top.

Anything to make cooking easier. But many are a pain to clean-out afterwards. So into the garage they go to be forgotten until one day I clean it out and say, "Oh that's where I put that thingamajig."

For me, I'm fortunate there's just open space above my refrigerator [no ductwork or cabinets], so I just line all my small appliances that aren't daily use up there and pick them out as needed. Only thing on my counters is my toaster, coffee maker, and induction burner.

Holy moly 1500 for a hotplate I have a 30.0 dollar induction plate I got from Newegg several years ago that works great.

I had a Hamilton Beach blender for over 20 years before motor burned out, won't badmouth the brand. I replaced with an Aldi bullet knockoff that I dig for my needs.

You're familiar with induction, but that's just the start with that bad boy. Very smart, very powerful. To the degree whole pan control at nearly an instant.

Toast things without burning, temper to boil to sear. Set the temp and don't worry about monitoring it, sensors in the plate and a probe interface to go into the cooked medium, including monitoring and maintaining temp on stuff like fry oil even when cold food is added. It has everything, and if it's built like other Breville stuff, it's nearly bulletproof.

I thought of getting one, but decided against it, but won't say why as it will create a tsunami of negative comments, possibly derailing your thread.

Ninja...just not the cheap ones. Look for metal rotars/blades on the base, if you can. Work great for us--we do a lot of morning shakes, and other stuff. Worth the coin.
