How many of you own a blender?

Billay I think what you’re looking for is a Grindr.

[Why Not?]

Well, add up all the married dudes on CP and account for about 25% of the single ones and there’s your answer.

I have the Ninja with all kinds of different canister sizes. It never fails. Well worth the cash

[Buns]

I had ninjas and bullets for years, and then I picked up a reconditioned Vitamix a couple years ago when it was pretty low on Amazon. Pretty amazing for making large smoothie batches, which I do 3-4 times a week. Good customer service, too. Different strokes right?

Haven't had one in a decade or more. Found my Breville in the garage, because it was taking up too much counter space. It no longer worked from lack of use even though it was rarely used before and still relatively new.

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.

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.

I bought one of those Breville electric tea pots which wasn't cheap but it was something, I always wanted.

What a disaster though. Out-of-habit one day I absent-mindedly placed it on my electric burner, and forgot about it. I turned it into a giant charcoal briquet while flames surrounded it. And I only had it two weeks. Breville replaced it for me at a discount with free shipping which was nice of them. I've been afraid to use it ever since. In fact it's still in the shipping box.

For large ones, I buy a cheap blender because I routinely break the glass. But I use them to make malts and to blend ingredients for sauces.

For small things, I use a magic bullet. Those work really well. Small and not a large cleanup. I also have a hand-blender that I use for sauces, particularly vinaigrettes and hollandaise-based sauces. For the hollandaise-sauces, put in everything but the butter and whisk. Then slowly incorporate melted butter. Sauce thickens up and you don't have to keep whisking the sauce over the oven. Very easy. Bearnaise sauce is really simple: make your reduction in a pot. Let it cool then add it and your egg yolks to the hand mixer.

I lost mine in the house fire and have not replaced it. I miss my chocolate malts.

GD you now I'm hungry for a chocolate malt. I haven't had one in years. Not a shake, has to be a malt.
