About Blenders

Didgeridude asked:


I have a pretty old blender that doesn’t seem to chop ice as well as it used to. Can I sharpen the blades or should I just replace the blades and/or the unit?

I went to Walmart to get a blender and the service is terrible! I asked them “Would this be a good baby blender?” and they didn’t help me what-so-ever. Where can I find a blender that will work more than once when grinding soft bone?

I have had 2 blenders during the last 12 months, and both broke down when using them.

The first one was a DeLonghi. The second one was a (cheaper) Cordon Bleu.

I need to buy a new one, but I would like it to last a little bit longer. What blender do you recommend?

I cook a lot, and I use blenders for nearly everything: soups, sorbets, dips, sauces, breadcrumbs…

I’m talking of jug-blender, not hand-blenders.

Thanks in advance!

Solunas asked:


I have a blender, 10 speeds, but no food processor and need to process some tahini and fruit into a paste to make some halva. Will it work, what speed? Any tips?

Here’s the recipe directions:

8 oz tahini or sesame seeds
4 oz raisins
4 oz dates
1 tsp vanilla extract

Break down the dried fruit in the food processor until it forms one homogenous mass. By hand, break the mass into smaller pieces, and then add the seeds or tahini and vanilla. Turn the food processor on again, and keep it turning until it forms a mass again; this will take a few minutes, be patient. You may need to add a few drops of water to get it to hold together, but be careful, any more than a few drops and it will become too sticky.
When it’s become a single solid mass, take walnut-sized balls of the mixture and roll between the palms of your hands to form balls. Store in the fridge.

Do you need expensive equipment to grind your own beans or will my cheap blender do the job? Has anyone tried this?

I am considering the purchase of a personal blender. Currently I spend about $4.50 a day on a smoothie at the restaurant in my workplace. I’d like to make these myself since I stay full longer and really enjoy the convience of a shake.

There are so many brands available and I was curious as to your experiences and what you might suggest as the blender to buy.

So far I’ve heard of:
Tribest Personal Blender
Bella Cucina Rocket Blender
Maxi-Matic Elite Cuisine
Magic Bullet

Any help?
