What did everyone cook today?
-
HerbcoFood I don’t know. We are still satisfied with our old Oster with the glass bowl. Have had it what, going on now 40 years plus if I am not mistaken. Except someone chipped the glass last year & I had to find a replacement as I have not had a chance to try sanding the chip down & the seals were pretty dried up too. It does the job. If I had to replace it, I would just want a glass bowl rather than plastic like most of them are now & a simple, high quality, durable machine.

Cold weather has finally set in so I whipped up a couple quick batches of soup in my Vitamix.

Cream of Asparagus Soup
Tex_77 I really like baked potato soup when it gets cold.

HerbcoFood I say whatever works for you. Don’t know about hockey pucks. But, there’s a reason that every high end restaurant I know uses a Vitamix. We tested the Ninja against the Vitamix with carrots and water in the same amounts and ran for 45 seconds. The Vitamix solution was smooth/creamy and the Ninja still had particles of carrots in the solution.

Tex_77 Good job and they both look like “Hail YEAH!”. Note: still waiting on 3rd treatment of mineral oil on the board to start using it. It looks good on your counter.

zbigjeff Wow, that is amazing. Has anyone compared them to the old Oster’s to see what the results were? I am curious.

calldoctoday We did it just with those units. The Vitamix used was 2 years old and the Ninja was new. It was just our own study. It looks like Vitamix and Blendex are the cream of the crop. But, they are a bit pricey in comparison to the rest of the list.

Here’s the Vitamix-Ninja comparison: https://www.consumerreports.org/full-sized-blenders/ninja-vs-vitamix-full-size-blender-face-off-a9253624628/zbigjeff Thank you. I am going to have to check that out. I thought about getting a new one when the bowl chipped last year, but Margaret really like her old one & so I gave it up. However, the day may come before long as that thing is over 40 years old, although still going strong. Does the Vitamix have a glass bowl or is it plastic? I need to go get me some dinner now & give it up. Have a good evening, what very little is left of it.

calldoctoday zbigjeff I asked my buddy who has one, blendtec is the brand where they have a video of it chewing up a hockey puck.

calldoctoday it is plastic. Vitamix and Blendtec blenders are what you will see in most commercial kitchens.

Tex_77 While I am no fan of potatoes that does look good! Does anyone have a good recipe for a tomato bisque?

That’s why they are forbidden in Canada, eh!

calldoctoday Hey, I’m Eastern European and Slovenian. It’s engrained in your head that you don’t throw anything out. That thought has been challenged of late. But, that thought comes to roost maybe more than I would like. The thought of old: If it’s not totally broke, don’t replace it. That’s exactly what I did. I bought it when the “other” blender passed away. But, have not been following that same mindset lately in other purchases. LOL

Tex_77 Two great looking soups. It’s definitely that time of year.

Jonathon I’ll check the vitamix cookbook.

HerbcoFood LOL on the hockey puck. Banned!!! Darn Libs. That’s why you’ll see pretty much only Vitamixes and Blendtech’s also in Smoothy shops. In that comparison done by some group, both of those models were basically equal in all aspects including pricey.

calldoctoday The Vitamix is polycarb (which makes it shatterproof) and has different bowls for liquid and dry. They better be sturdy because they cost around 150 for a replacement.

Just threw my boneless butt on the smoker this morning for it’s long sleepy smoke towards it journey to pulled pork. Brined it for 24 hours then just salt and pepper and some seasoning on top. Got it’s twin brining for a ham for 14 or so days. Trying to make some space in the freezer and finding the lost souls in the very bottom of the chest.
