Many times I’ve bypassed the Costco demos (oh, they’re demonstrating another blender – can’t be bothered) as I’m making my way towards the food section to get what I need and make my way out of there as quickly as possible.
They recently managed to grab my attention while announcing making sorbet in 30 seconds. What?? A healthy & delicious sorbet born out of frozen fruit, some crushed ice & a bit of agave syrup for sweetener. I was sold! I didn’t even care that you can make soups, dressings and sauces in 5 minutes or less. This machine makes it all so easy and clean up is so simple. The secret is the variable speed dial which allows you to control the blades and therefore provides versatility at various speeds for a multitude of recipes. It’s actually a high performance blender. It comes with a cookbook for getting started but you can do your own thing from there once you get used to it. You can blend, dry & wet chop, make frozen treats, heat, grind, knead, emulsity and purée – even make whole grain flour (not that I will ever – but never say never).
Soup – we made mushroom & cauliflower and cabbage.
It has replaced my juicer, blender & food processor. It’s like the netflix of kitchen appliances for convenience.

I don’t know about you but I like to simplify things in the kitchen as much as possible. These are my latest favorite kitchen tools. A whisk, a zester and a fruit/veggie peeler extraordinaire.
A friend gave me this Pogo whisk and I love it. Before this I was mashing potatoes with an electric mixer which is kind of messy. This works just as well and you only have to push down on the handle – it does the work for you. I also use it for smoothing sauces, soups & frothing milk for making lattes. Genius.
