Blender

We use this device every evening, before going to bed.

Making a banana + milk cocktail. We do not add ice cream, because 1) it seems that a cocktail on the water is such ice cream nowadays; 2) we do not want to give a cold child (especially in winter). So only milk is quite suitable (we use Lianozovskoe 3.2 - red "M").

First, add the bananas and then, after turning on, gradually add the milk. It's a good idea to add a couple of teaspoons of pre-thawed blueberries to the bananas - and it is healthy and thickens the product.

Another application is the preparation of grated berries for the winter. We no longer use the bread maker for berry jam - in a blender it turns out much healthier (without heat treatment) and does not taste worse at all. We take the ratio of berries to sugar 1: 1.

Blenders from different companies make different cocktails. We had Binatone, Bosch and Panasonic. The best whipping quality was obtained with the latter. In addition, he did not have any unattached banana particles left. The most powerful was Bosch - but the result was the most

I have Braun MultiQuick. In the summer, I did not remove it from the kitchen table at all. Gazpacho, pumpkin puree soup, okroshka on whipped kefir with herb puree, green cucumbers and shrimps, fresh fruit with whipped cream, squash pancakes, charlotte with apples and cherries - what a couple of us didn’t sculpt with ... But I especially fell in love with strawberry Margarita with ice crumbs - strawberry puree, crushed ice and golden tequila ...

My blender goes like an attachment to a Unifix mixer. I use it mainly for pureed soups (for example, pea, pumpkin) and for sauces (for example, juice from stewed fish with sautéed onions and carrots).
But one of the most useful tools for me is the mini chopper. I have Moulinex, the quality is not so hot, I dream of changing it to Tefal.

The Braun MultiQuick has a mini chopper and a larger chopper plus an ice picker plus a whisk for churning - in addition to the main attachment ... 5 in 1 and takes up little space

I have one too. I do not clear from the kitchen and from the table. A very handy thing. I use it almost every day. But I have never used a container for breaking ice, so it lies in the box.

In vain, cocktails with fruits and crushed ice are great - daiquiri, margarita ...

It would be nice to support the description of specific models with pictures
Of course, you can always find it on the Internet, but it's more convenient.

With a whisk of a blender, I beat down dough for muffins and charlotte, proteins, any creams - a mixer is no longer needed. My recipe for orange bread maker also calls for a blender. I will invent other jams as well so that I don't get liquid jam.

I gave my mother such a Brown, my mother is very happy, and I tried it myself and realized that the mixer is better. Because you don't need to hold the mixer in your hand - whips and whips in your spinning bowl, and at this time I do something else and gradually add ingredients to the bowl without stopping the mixer.

My kitchen can be seen in the photos in the gallery. There is a maximum of free space, an empty long cutting table and a second table, converted from the windowsill, also empty. I'm a fan of free spaces. All items, except for the kettle and now the bread maker, are being removed.And they gave me a stationary harvester with a mixer, but it never caught on - every time to assemble and disassemble ... no, the Multiquick suits me more, although I meant a replacement for the usual hand mixer with 2 whisks

I just changed this Brown for this Bosch. Because of all this set, I used only the small chopper most often. And I DIDN'T ENOUGH an ordinary mixer, it is more convenient to work with an ordinary mixer with 2 whisks.

I am faced with a choice: I need a chopper or a mill (a child is 4 months old - to make porridge), there is a mixer, but I dream of one that does it himself, with a rotating bowl, there is a combine, but it takes a very long time to assemble and disassemble ... , can I put it all together in one?

I think the perfect option is the Braun MultiQuick hand blender. For a child, you can turn the soup into mashed potatoes and mashed fruits with vegetables, and there is work for the chopper, because the children grow up quickly.

I also have Braun MultiQuick
But my child does not eat mashed potatoes. But I got the knack to grind part of the soup, or porridge, not to mashed potatoes, but simply to chop it. Such - eats with pleasure
I also mix the dough for muffins with a whisk. In a large bowl I grind the meat - raw for cutlets, and boiled for navy-style pasta.
In a small bowl - sauces and everything else ...
But the ice will go in the summer, we are waiting

I have a separate Philips mixer with a bowl (more convenient, hands free), but I don't use it often ... and a separate mill from tefal. We do all the porridge for the child in it. one minus - we took a small amount. now the child has grown up and he has to make food in two passes. but I can't complain - we use it for the third year, every day two or three times a day. and I crush the soups with a fork - let him get used to chewing!
from time to time I take out a philips blender, I make necks (banana, ice cream and cherry juice). I bought it unknowingly without a chopper, now I regret it, because replacing the knife on one unit saves a lot of space in the kitchen (than two appliances)

I'm thinking about buying a professional blender .. maybe someone will advise which company to take?
I already have 2 regular ones - Phillips and Brown .. I give them for repair in turn .. they are constantly on! And just making porridge for a child .. And I would like to make all sorts of sauces, pates .. In general, you need a reliable blender!

Philips and Brown also come in different capacities ...
I had KRUPS KB 710 D, I liked it. This manufacturer has a more powerful blender, check it out ... I think the saying "the higher the price, the better the quality" applies.

I join this thread.
People please help me choose a blender. Maybe a little off topic, lagged behind life, but the other day my whisk mixer-mixer broke down. The mixer was cheap, from an unknown manufacturer, but it worked faithfully for 8 years. The engine is still intact, the rim holder has broken. I also need a mixer of a similar plan, since it is convenient for them to mix, but I would also like to have a blender. I have a small child who will soon start eating mashed potatoes. As I understand it, a blender with a mixing function can handle it, but a whisk mixer with grinding is not. Maybe I'm wrong in my reasoning. Well, in general, I have never used a blender. And in general, maybe these two devices do not replace each other in any way? Thanks in advance for all the help.

Back in 1993, we were presented with a mixer of the Turkish company AKA.
Still in service. But I'm talking about something else.
In addition to rims (frame and hook), it has a high-speed shaft (from the end). A turbine is mounted on the shaft (whip milkshakes), or knives (and then it becomes a blender). She makes mashed soups and pâtés with a bang. Theoretically grinds salt-pepper-nuts (there is a special box). But I use a mortar and coffee grinder.
So you can find 2 devices in one case.

Well, I’m here for the first time! This is my first time, so if something goes wrong, sorry! And the blender popovoda, I have a brown 700w, but I have already repaired, But because in turbo mode, or the pulse, you can work for 15 seconds, and then rest for 10-15 minutes. And here's the 700 or 250w nonsense. Meat, nuts It's kind of hard, but any blender takes it.

Oh, I forgot, you can take both brown and phillips, there are now new moulinex, well, they look more like a combine, with graters, but so far there are no problems. The main equipment you need: blender, mixer, chopper, etc.

Purees make a great submersible blender, as it were, it was made initially for children. nutrition. Brown, for example, used to have a set of books with recipes for babies from 2 months old. up to 1 year. True, he does not whip up creams, so a whisk is still needed.

Kenwood, Yes, I work with this firm. Quality, but the equipment is inferior, well, let's say Brown if we take especially the latest models. Well, if at prices then Kenwood will be cheaper.

If you choose from Brown and Philips, then there are no significant differences, but there are some little things that are made better in Philips. Although it is more convenient to wash Brown

Thanks everyone. I'm more interested in the capabilities of the blender. They say a good blender will chop raw meat and grind wheat with buckwheat.
Is it true? Who uses it in this mode? I just want to buy a universal thing.

Any blender with a chopper attachment will chop raw meat. But raw cereals are not allowed. You can use cereals in a millstone coffee grinder.

Thanks a lot, everyone.
I bought it in short
BRAUN MR 6550 HC BC
I like the rich equipment. Only one thing is not clear: the largest button is "turbo", but it can only be turned on for a short time. The power button is small and inconvenient to press. Although these are trifles. Immediately bought containers for vacuum storage. In general, the device is serious. I am exploring the possibilities.

I have the same one, very convenient in my opinion, I have been using it every day for 2 years. I use the turbo button only for whipping eggs-whites, I cut everything else at a regulated speed.

Whip it with a whisk? If yes, then according to the instructions only with a whisk, you cannot use the turbo mode.

Yes, I whisk it with a whisk on turbo, though not for long, a minute and a half, so that the engine does not overheat.

maybe someone will advise which company to take?

I have tefal rondo 1000 (stop already thinking about us))
I bought a child to make mashed potatoes, the child grew up, the blender remained in service.
I grind in it: meat, nuts, raw potatoes (for potato pancakes), liver pate, everything you need in cutlets (meat, onions, bread, etc.), powdered sugar, cranberries for sauce and compote, boiled eggs,

I whip everything that fits into a 1-liter bowl by volume - proteins for meringues, cream, dough for a small amount of pancakes, eggs for an omelet,

listed offhand what came to mind, I have this one of the most demanded kitchen appliances. So far there have been no complaints (6 years of work).

Take a closer look at the Kenwoods. There are very interesting .........

I completely agree with Elena. The machine is reliable. Another good thing is BOSH. I bought it the other day as a gift (though a hand mixer). 450W, whisks for whipping, attachments (screw-shaped) for dough more abruptly and hand blender with a glass (measuring).All the fun in one unit. It costs 1200 rubles.

I have a Brown blender (which has two different blades, like a mini-combine). It was then advertised with a vacuum attachment. I am very, very happy. I have had it for 3 years, if not more. Never broke (I do not use it every day), ugh, ugh, ugh.
In it I chop onions, carrots, nuts and a lot of everything. I used the blender myself a few times, mashed potatoes are easy to cut soft-boiled.

completely confused and lost in two pines. Well, at least only two)) I'm going to buy a blender and settled on two models Philips HR-1372 and Brown MR 6550 M BCHC. It seems that they are not much different in their functionality ... I like Phillips' design more ... But Brown is more in demand ... Are there any objective advantages of Brown over Phillips? Whom do you prefer?

I had a moulinex, the knife broke in the fall, though I myself am to blame for this. And now for several months I have been without a blender - and I still miss it, I'm used to it. Mainly ground vegetables.

I have a brown 600 W blender (the model is still 5550, I bought it a long time ago, but in terms of configuration it is the same as the 6550). It never broke down and replaced many cutting and graters in my kitchen. Before that, I had a Bosch in exactly the same configuration (with a whisk and a mill) 600 watts. So he broke down after 1 month. after the purchase, although I made them puree for the child from boiled vegetables. In Boch, there was a completely useless mill, she did not cut or grind anything. Onions raw knife yearned for itself in a circle. At first I decided that this is a side option and no one promised it to work well. When Bosch was taken to the repair, I had to buy Brown and I was unspeakably surprised that he grinds everything in the mill (including raw meat, boiled, nuts (although according to the instructions it is impossible), raw vegetables, etc.) (By the way, Bosch was practically replaced in the repair completely, a new pen was sent - but the picture remained the same. It turns out that not a specific device was defective, but the model itself).
And in my Brown, I almost always work in turbo mode and take breaks only when it heats up (usually before that, he has time to grind everything)

They gave us Brown 6550. And I just can't get it to work or I have hook hands.
First of all, I tried to chop the onion in it - nothing happened, he chopped a little, what fit in a rather small gap under the knife (small container), and the rest flopped from above.
If anyone can do this trick with a bow, share the technology. This is very important for me, I can't cut onions with a knife at all - I cry after that for a week!

I don’t know why this is happening. I cut the onion into 2-4 parts, throw it into a container, and ... literally for a few seconds (depending on what size "pieces" you need to get) - you have a ready-made semi-finished product at your disposal!
At least onions, at least carrots, at least ... Yes, whatever your heart desires.
And how he whips up the whites with a whisk !!! For curd pudding in a cartoon, it's better not!
Good luck !!!

If in a small glass, you can hold it in your hands a little, tilt it a little and shake it without opening the lid and without removing the motor, I always do this. So that the onion does not turn into gruel completely, I turn it on impulsively and, of course, cut it into large pieces before laying.

Everything is correct. ... Maybe you put too much onion (what does a small container mean?). Try chopping in portions. After all, he needs space for mixing.

: red: The onion was half an onion, cut in half (i.e.2 quarters of a medium-sized onion - cut it as it was written in the manual), and the "small capacity" is the smaller capacity of the Brown 6550 blender.

I have exactly the same blender (only it used to be 5550). Well he cuts very well. Try it in impulse mode, with short-term switching on. The onion is thrown up, and then falls, and is mixed and cut (fairly evenly).

I have another question, how to wash it? I do not have a separate blender, but in a bosch mum 4756 food processor. I wonder how this bowl is disassembled? I can't wash it properly, because at the very bottom along the entire circumference there is a gap where food gets into .. I go there with a toothpick - I can't get everything ... but it will eventually start smacking ... I grind food for a one-year-old child .. and what should I do? buy a new one or disassemble this bowl somehow?

And I have this Philips HR 1372 Hand Blender
I am very happy with it. And the other day I watched a program on TVTs or RENTv, something like a "test purchase" on the 1st. So, it was blenders that were tested there and MY took the first place. After that I am even more SATISFIED with them.

and I had a tefal rondo, I was very pleased with it. But the knife broke ... ((((
Now Vraun, the one that is a mini harvester, is not quite the same, since it does not mix the products well during the cutting process, Tefal was better

In Cesky Krumlov for the first time I tasted the Mahito-Nino cocktail (non-alcoholic, with mint).
Crush on him. I've already cooked a similar one at home several times. But!
Need ice crumbs 1-3 mm. It tastes better this way.
Refrigeration mold cubes are not rolled.

And now the questions:
Who really crushes ice with a blender (in many such a function is written in the instructions)?
Who survived the blender after that?
Is the result really crumb of ice or stupid snow?

[Uncle Sam]

I can't imagine life without a blender. I have submersibles (two): Bosch and Brown. Brown 400 W with vacuum cans which, and Bosch do not remember which. It seems also 400 W (he is already 5-6 years old). I use them both in the tail and in the mane. I bought the second one, because there were no attachments for Bosch except, in fact, the knives themselves. A whisk, a medium grinding bowl, and a vacuum nozzle came with the brown.

Well, what can I say: I exploit mercilessly, without pity (I'm not afraid to break, I will buy a new one without hesitation), often on things that are difficult to stir. Bosch sometimes whimpers about the motor winding, but is still alive. No pulse modes (but I don't have super-powerful units either). Brown's middle bowl turned out to be very good for the court. Now there are little ones. For me - too small, and large - too large (smear food on the walls). I never cut meat in it. I believe that the meat from the blender is some kind of raped scraps. But this is personally for my taste. The rest - nuts, for example, liver pâté, biscuit crumbs for cheesecakes, cakes, tomato sauces for pasta, mass for cutlets (bread, onions, cream) and so on and so forth - all in a bowl. And the use of a glass, a whisk and the immersion knives themselves - and even more often. I cook a lot and with passion.

As far as I understand, all named manufacturers are about the same. You can run into a specific not very successful device (as someone broke very quickly Bosch). I have the same Bosch injecting as cute and alive. It is probably better to choose a European manufacturer (some kind of Slovenia, etc.). And the rest - according to your taste according to the configuration.

I saw a special bowl for crushing ice only at Brown (made of stainless steel). I have no idea what size the ice is coming out of, the shiny stainless parts and knives made a pleasant impression.

I added ice when I whipped the cocktail in a blender (I have a blender bowl). The blender survived, but the ice, like a crumb of ice, was absolutely not felt. It just crumbled stupidly and melted into the rest of the cocktail ingredients ...

Peace be with you bakers!
I have a 600 w brown with an ice bowl
crumb size depends on grinding speed and time
and if you need to whip a cocktail directly with ice, I use an immersion
in general, the blender is good for constantly being used in the kitchen
and as a meat grinder, even for making pâtés
the thing is just perfect
we also make banana milk cockles very often and also
submersible is just super
the only thing that doesn't work out is mashed potatoes
quickly turns into paste
blender we have 3 years of breakdowns only cracked plastic
on the rim of the lid

I have Brown, which has an ice bowl, but only chopped the nuts in it
as already mentioned, it all depends on the speed and time of felling.
in general, I really need a blender in the housekeeping
pate, cocktails, chopping onions, mashed potatoes and mashed soups, whipping cream and eggs, chopping candied fruits, nuts for CP
