Green Onions
Posted by The Silver Fox under Eatin' n' Drinkin'
I’m contemplating trying this recipe for ratatouille for my inaugural use of our new mandoline.
Now that we have a mandoline, the only kitchen gadget I can think of that we’re lacking is a hand mixer, which would be useful for my specialty - soups.* The question is - do any of my dozen or so regular readers recommend a particular brand or model? Or is it a case of six of one, half dozen of another?
*Allright, maybe it’s an exaggeration to say I have a ’specialty’ - safer to say that when I fire up the stove, more often than not I’m making soup.
Sauteed asparagus is definitely a specialty though.

Do you mean an immersion blender?

Hell, I don’t know, do I? I mean something that allows me to do soup without the blender.

I would say, yes, you mean an immersion blender.

The KitchenAid hand-held is pretty sweet, although I’ve also heard good things about the more cost-effective Sunbeam. Carmen and I were just talking about getting one as well.

Amazon has a Braun immersion blender on sale for cheaper ($35) than the KitchenAid model ($49).

I love potatoes and leeks, especially when all blended up and soupy.

I’ll be making that soup again. Maybe Sunday?

Get a Braun - but NOT one encased in plastic - too hard to clean, won’t get in corners, icky, pedestrian, do not like.
Get one of these:
