In the category in vogue heating blenders, Moulinex Soup & Co is an excellent product. It offers three automatic programs access to soups: the velvety program lasts 25 minutes and allows perfect pass soups with one or two vegetables (zucchini, carrots etc ...) The moulinée version is more: my children prefer soup mixed vegetables and need to get out the manual mill to obtain a proper consistency. As always, the advantage of this type of product is the all in one: one device to clean, this is perfect. In addition, the third program allows easy cleaning (since we can not retrieve robot blades): self-clean only requires a minute. We put water and a drop of dishwashing liquid.
For recipes in the manual mode, I tested a few examples in the book (there are few because the recipes are very focused on soups). Bolognese sauce is easy to make (but careful not to mix too much content). The kids loved ketchup and hot chocolate. These recipes are all very simple: we put the ingredients we choose the cooking time (up to 1 hour) and temperature (between 60 and 100 degrees) during or at the end of cooking we mix. No risk if we do not exceed maximum amounts. The advantage is that you can take care of other things while the ingredients are cooking!
Finally, the functionality of the cooking without blender are possible: quality mixing and crushed ice. This model is more effective to mix the models that offer plunging blades.
Personally, I love it because it greatly facilitates blender life. This will eat vegetables effortlessly and unattended .... In addition, the warm keeps helps you anticipate using, a real plus. Now, everyone can find its usefulness: one can try the pancake batter or custard and assign some functions of the mixer, or even create sauces recipes of all kinds when you have guests ... C ' is a product that has its place on my work plan. The question is what will be his life!
