Kitchen Blenders

I have a kitchenaid food processor but i want to try to make smoothies in the same machine.

Smoothies may be soft but they don’t qualify as computer software..

US models seem newer. Will they come to UK?

We are always 10yrs behind the yanks! for as long as I can remember!

Hey thanks! My ma wants one of those mixers that actually has a pulse action – it starts and stops on it’s own. Do you know if any other suppliers of immersion blenders have a pulse feature or are they all manually pulsed?

Well, sort of: your fingers. Like most immersion blenders, it has a speed dial, but the operation of the blade/whisk/blender is all controlled by a single button. By repeatedly pressing and releasing the power button, you can pulse things. And they do recommend that if you’re using the chopper attachment.

Just saw your update–sorry for the delay. I’m sure there’s others out there, but the only one I found via Google was a Dualit 500-watt immersion blender on Amazon. It does have the pulse feature. Second link below. HTH.

First off, you will need a 5/16th wrench, also you might want to consider changing the timming belt while your at it. You will save money down the line.

Last time I used my $45 blender and ended up making a massive mess. The butter ended up caking to the bottom and freezing the thing up… very frustrating!

Now I’m making it again and I used the whisk on my kitchenaid stand mixer (even though I know I’m not supposed to but what was I to do?) and my "dough" was really crumbly and didn’t stick together very well. I stuck it in the fridge to cool anyways, and so here I wait.

Have I set myself up for UN-success?

I don’t use an electric tool for making pie crust. I just cut the butter into the flour mix using a fork.
