Is there a difference between the Magic Bullet and a regular kitchen blender?

Sunday, July 6th, 2008
Sinn asked:


My magic bullet top broke and while it was out of commision I noticed that its just like a blender only tiny as far as the blade is concerned. Is there a difference between a blender and magic bullet? Can I grind anything in a blender?
I already own it its just one of the tops broke, the good one too. I can replace it on ebay. Thanks guys.

Do all blenders give problems when crushing ice? I want to buy a really good blender that will chop up ice good. What brands can I buy?

How do I clean my hand blender with out blowing myself up?

Sunday, July 6th, 2008
chelle0980 asked:


I use a hand blender to puree foods for my 6 month old baby, but really struggle cleaning it after each use. My husband suggested putting the head in water and then turning it on, not sure if he is trying to kill me off or being helpful! I have tried using a washing up brush but the blades just get in the way. How can I clean it?

What Is The Best Blender On The Market?

Monday, June 30th, 2008
LUCKY3 asked:


Everyday I use a blender to make protein shakes (ice, frozen fruit and mix). The problem I incur is that I must stop the blender every few seconds and push the top unblended portion down towards the blade. Is there any blender–that even if full–can blend all contents without assistance?

Can you make soups in a blender without cooking them first and then heat them up after blending?

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008
silkkat50 asked:


I just wondered if this would be feasable because people blend soups after cooking them, which may lose some of the vitamins, i wondered if you could stick all your veg in a blender from fresh, puree it all, add your stock and then heat it up to eat? What do you think?

Is a blender a suitable substitute for a food processor?

Monday, June 16th, 2008
Stella asked:


I’m making a berry pie. I have to crush graham crackers for the crust and puree berries for the filling. What do you think? Do I need to borrow/buy a food processor for this or can I just use my blender?
