OT Time saver - hand blenders

[Guest guest]

Dear List:

This is a cleaning tip for dirty pots. Whenever you cook anything, especially

meats, a quick way to clean the pan or pot is by adding water (at least a cup)

to the dirty pan and put back on the fire. Let it get to a boil and then scrap

all the stuck on food with a wooden spoon, (I like to use a long edge spatula

wood spoon it covers more area when scraping) Everything comes clean and then

you just dump the dirty water and rinse the pot. It works with everything no

more scrubbing pots to get them clean.

I have a hand held blender which I have used for soups but I really prefer my

blender for this purpose. I have a vita mix blender which makes wonderfully

smooth soups, dressings, smoothies and mayonnaise. It has a dry container for

flours but you can only do about a cup at a time if you don't want it to turn

into a blender. I hope this helps. Eileen Brown
