Re: blender/food processor

[Guest guest]

I think a food processor is a good investment. I never owned one before scd, and I use one now as much as I use my hand electic mixer. Even if I went off scd, I would be glad I bought it. I believe you are supposed to take out the celery and onion after the soup is done cooking, but puree your carrots and add them back in. I would follow the intro like it suggest with constipation or diareah. You probably will only do the intro for 2-3 days anyhow. A food processor is really nice for mixing the dry curd cheese and egg/ honey mixtures.... making mayonaise...or salsa.......or any other veggie puree too. Yogurt makers? Good luck with your diet. sandy scd 4 months uc since 2004 ane_kua

Hi ane,

It's not absolutely necessary, but it's actually very helpful

for constipation as Elaine and Marilyn both recommend

eating very soft foods for constipation.

muffin pans, baking equipment, anything cast iron - especially

if you have iron deficiency, cooking pots, blender, kitchen aid

mix master - although you can always get that for a good price

at costco, Foreman grill, Etc. It all depends on what

you have to begin with.

thanks all.

did you guys get ravenously hungry after a few days on the intro diet?

i did (even tho' i didn't blend the carrots) and that was when the

sense of deprivation started to kick in. and i just felt really

grossed out by eating all that meat as i had to eat a lot more of it

to kind of feel full. (and i'm a pretty big meat eater!)

what's the difference between a blender and an immersion blender, misty?

thanks.

and yes, i already have a yogurt maker - i have the eurocuisine one.

the yogurt is quite delicious. i'm now using cow's milk instead of

goat's milk, and it's less tart.

an immersion blender is a handheld blender with the blade on the bottom so you only have to stick it down in the pot to blend or puree. it works great for homemade tomato soup. so far, that's really all i've used it for besides when i was intro and then i'd separate the chicken from the veggies, add the veggies back to the broth and puree it with the immersion blender. here's an example. the one i got comes with a drink mixer, a whisk and a blade. the blade is great for pureeing, the whisk is great for making fluffy omelets. i haven't used the other attacment though. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=8467291 it's really good for pureeing big batches so you don't have to add it in batches to the blender; which can be tedious.
