by the time i get home this evening i should have a food processor…

what can or can’t i put in it?

its 1100watts of pure unadulterated power, so the most important thing to know (obviously) is will it slice through bone?

Everything blends…

You can’t get a horse in, but a cat might fit 😆

You can’t use it to mash potato. But you can use it to make a potato based glue 🙂

Make sure you take the rubber guard off the blade. Or it doesn’t work properly. I know someone who did that.

You can’t use a spice grinder to turn the knobbles someone’s cut from a wetscream into granules to mix in with your tubeless goop to give it more binding texture, no matter how good an idea you I might think it is.

It’ll ruin the blades and you’ll discover from the sparking that there more to these tyres than just a bit o’ rubber 😳

But I’m yet to try it with a food processor…

CG’s dead crow might fit with some pre-hacking.

Mmmm, crow soup with crunchy bits.

You could possibly squeeze a small pheasant in there to make some sausages.

Blender

Aussie style food prep

What’s green and goes red at the flick of a switch?
A frog in a blender.

What do you get if you add milk?
Frog nog!

What happens if you drink frog nog?
You Croak!

You can’t put Wiminz in the blender but you can put fruit in it.

what about beetroots ?

Except Chuck Norris

Pretty sure you can use it to blend horse and beef, just be prepared for a media outcry if you do.

i should be being given a venison leg at some point soon…. the million dollar question is can you drink it through a straw?

” beets ” in a blender, yup but cut them into chunks first.
I par boil mine because some beets are very firm and they make one helluva racket when bouncing over the kitchen work tops, s’peshuly if your work tops is granite like.

i figured for raw veg i’d use the grating bit first, then use the blender bit?

Good for processing red cabbage, infinite amounts of bread crumbs, starting pastry… Babies are an absolute no no. People get really upset.

thanks bikebuoy I did wonder

Serious smoke; don’t breathe this!

😆

Annoyingly, you probably won’t be able to crush ice with it, despite it looking just like the ones they use in Starbucks to make frappucinos 🙁

did you not read the 1100watts of pure power bit molly?

it specifically lists ‘ice crushing function’ in the details of various websites selling it.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Phil, video or we will never believe you.

Hmm.

In mine, the bottom of the blender is narrow, and the ice cubes are big, so the cubes form a sort of log jam. The blender then crushes the bottom layer of ice and nothing else since the cubes don’t move around.

The Starbucks ones are very wide at the bottom, this allows for effective agitation of cubes.

So it may be that yours will crush ice if the cubes are sufficiently small to begin with… Let me know how you get on.

Should you want to create an approximation to a Starbucks caramel coffee frappucino (just to annoy the haterz 🙂 ) then use ice, a shot or two of espresso and some vanilla ice cream. If you are a hater you could still do this because it’s really nice. You could also add Baileys.

i’m sure it has the ability to DESTROY ice, but chances are as you suggest, probably only the bottom 3cm of ice 😆

i wont be making any frappychinos as a)we dont have an ice-try, b)we have no means of making an espresso, and c)we dont have enough space in the freezer for ice-cream.

And d) you don’t want to get fat? 😛

e)we’re not rich enough to own espresso makers, heated wing mirrors, ice-cream or ice.

If you’re feeling brave, and I mean really brave, google “food for louis” and search for the frozen mice video. It’s revolting but might give you an idea of what a blender can do.

I say again, only watch it if you have a strong stomach.

Try and blend one of these and post the picture on here.

I don’t think that object will blend.

Me neithers..

ahem…. 1100watts of power…..

And d) you don’t want to get fat?

I last made my own frappucino in 2002. I’ve bought 2 or 3 since… 2004 or so.

For a while in 2001 I was drinking about 4 a week. That’s when I was at my lightest, I lost 6kg in about 6 weeks. Go figure, as they say 🙂

a)we dont have an ice-try

Eh? Even my 30 year old caravan fridge has an ice tray!

b)we have no means of making an espresso

A couple of teaspoons of instant works well too.

c)we dont have enough space in the freezer for ice-cream

That is a serious issue.

I reckon the kitten would blend easily.

with regards to the whole crushed ice thing… why not put a load of ice in a tea-towel or something similar and smash it against the floor or wall using the swing-as-hard-as-you-can or hammer method, then put it in the blender?

That didn’t work very well for me.. it just sat in the blender like slush still, cos it was quite wet by that point.

how many watts is your blender? mines 1100watts dont you know.

Dunno, but power wasn’t the issue. It was the geometry of the device.

it might be power…. its always about power 😈

you think starbucks have puny little 500watt things? with enough power you can crush anything, ANYTHING!
