Re: Request for recommendations - Juicer, grinder , yogurt maker, bread

[Guest guest]

If I were starting over I would get the following for:

*Yoghurt:* large canning jars (Put the milk in and leave it in the oven

with the light on - it's both cheap and easy and you don't have so many

containers to clean... plus you can make tonnes in just one 'go' if you

find you go through a lot of it.)

*Juicing and Grinding: * I would get a magic bullet. The t.v. offer has

a juicer. I have a big blender and a big juicer that are always out on

my counter and now am sorry because juice is nicer if it is made one

glass (with each person's favourite recipe) at a time and my big juicer

is such a big deal to clean that I make a whole jug of all the same

juice and then not everybody likes it. Same goes for grinding nuts...

generally you only need a cup or two at a time... the Bullet looks fine

for that.

*Mixing: *I could never go without my food processor! It purees veggies

to turn into 'pizza dough', it grinds up nuts for cookies, it makes huge

quantities of smoothies (then we put it in paper cups so we have

'smoothie pops' all week long - again, in just one 'go'), it 'creams' my

soups... and on and on and on

Last note about a *mixer*... I have a big Hamilton Beach. I like it but

generally only use it to do my egg whites. If I had to do it again I'd

go with a cheaper model. $250 to whip egg whites is ridiculous.

I look forward to seeing what other people say about this.
