Re: Veggie Slicer & Eurocusine Yogurt maker

Hi ,

> Can anyone recommend a good food slicer for slicing butternut squash

into the french fries or other SCD legal veggies? Is a mandoline

slicer the best or a food processor? I'm trying to decide what to

purchase.

My food processor has a number of attachments so I find it

invaluable. I can use it to slice veggies very thin, a french fry

attachment that may work for some veggies, a steel blade (good for nut

flours and making nut butter etc.) a plastic blade with a lip (good

for making bread and cake batter), attachments for grating veggies

very fine and coarse and a whipping attachment (the best for making

mayonnaise, sauces etc.) I don't have a mandolin but have heard lots

of good things about them. I am a kitchen gadget person so I'll

probably get one eventually (after I build a room for all the gadgets)

> Also does anyone have any experience with the Eurocuisine yogurt

maker...have you been happy with it?

I am not familiar with this one but many like the Yogumet yogurt

maker. It heats the yogurt in water which helps maintain a constant

temperature. I use a heating pad and a container filled with water.

It works very well and I can make large quantities.

The Euro Cuisine is a good machine, but pretty small.

I use the Donvier, which is very good, I'm very happy w/ it.

The Yogourmet, seems to also be a very good choice.

Good Luck!

I have had this one for 25 years. I paid $19.95 for it at a mall demo so you can

see what

inflation has done! It is now $60.

I also use my Cuisinart Food Processor for slicing squash.

Has anyone ever tried to make butternut squash chips instead of fries? They

taste so close to French fries when baked, and I'm thinking that I could slice

them like potato chips for deep frying. Also, how does one make jam, jelly,

preserves, whatever you want to call it in your part of the world without using

pectin? It's getting close to strawberry season here in the southeast U.S., and

I'd like to make homemade strawberry jam. Obviously, honey would be used in

place of sugar, but what about the pectin that is normally used in jam making?

Try making fries with fresh turnips, cut them a little thick so they will be

crisp. I usually make mine in the oven, but if you can deep fry them, I;m

sure they will be great. We make a dip for the fries using fresh beets mixed

with avocado in the food processor, add a little honey, if you like it

sweeter, these are all brain foods and are quite delicious..
