If there's a person in this world that is hooked on buying ridiculous toys for their kitchen, they should be reading this article.
Whether or not you scan the Internet for coupons from Williams-Sonoma, or just like to prepare a quick meal in your kitchen, there are always fun gadgets to purchase.
That being said, on a modest student budget, there's not a lot of room for these sorts of treats, if you're a "foodie."
However, there is one toy that comes highly recommend for anyone. Not only is it a ton of fun, it is also very reasonably priced.
What could this wünder-product possibly be? It is the Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender.
It sounds a little bit much, right? Don't worry, you will have a great time using this blender. It looks a little bit strange, but this is a product that will be useful to everyone. It is something that you can use for blending anything, from milkshakes to sauces.
The first time it was tested out, was with some ice cream, to see how it could make chocolate shake. The blender itself comes with plenty of instructions, including the best way to combine everything you need in the handy mixing cup that is included.
Now, for anyone that has never used a stick blender before, it can be a little strange.
After all, it doesn't look all that powerful, especially when faced with two giant scoops of ice cream.
However, according to the information provided by Cuisinart, the blender includes "a
powerful 200-watt motor that operates with easy one-touch control."
Trusting Cuisinart to be a company of their word, the test continued. The on button on the blender is easy to find, there are a low setting and a high setting. Start on low; you want to avoid send ice cream flying all over the kitchen. You will quickly realize that you need all the power the blender can give. With the high button selected, the blender will do all it can to make your shake.
When the blender gets your shake to the consistency you like, usually after about a minute and a half it is ready. Stop the power and take a look at the finished product.
You will be amazed, especially since the process does not make a mess of your kitchen.
If you have the time or the inclination, test the blender out on something hot, like tomato sauce or soup, just to see how well it works.
After you take the time to test out this product, make sure you take the time to read about it as well.
Not only is it as powerful as they say it is, but it also can be taken apart and the non-electronic parts can be washed in the dishwasher. This is very good news, because there is a lack of good products available, especially for special kitchen toys, that can be simply thrown into the dishwasher without a worry.
Priced at $29.95, this is a product that is extremely budget-friendly for all of you students who need to make every dollar count. It is a great item to have if you're throwing a party, or if you just feel like blending something.
