About Blenders

BluedogGirl asked:


I am on a diet the requires me to use my blender with ice at least 5 times a day. I have been on the diet 8 months and have blown out 3 blenders including a Waring, Kitchen Aid, Back to Basics. I need to buy a new one, but I want it to be industrial strength. Which one should I buy?

Andy S asked:


I’m in the market for a good blender. In reading Consumer Reports, they rated a Kitchen Aid excellent for purees and very good for smoothies. They rated a Braun blender exactly the opposite of the KitchenAid (very good for purees, excellent for smoothies). Isn’t the ability to puree or smoothie the same thing?

I need to ..’cut in cold shortening with pastry blender…’ says the recipe. I don’t have a pastry blender, nor do I want to go spend money for one! What can I use instead?
