DrinkFeckArseGirls · 03/01/2013 23:55

Like a blender or more like a slow cooker?

Thanks Screamin...I don't want yet another dust collecting gimmicky gadget, but it does make soup making look pretty effortless.

Looks like a kettle, apparently you just put your ingredients in, select either 'smooth' or 'chunky' then wait 30 mins. Morphy Richards make one...sorry I'm on my mobile and can't don't know how to attach link.

My mate got it for weight loss purposes and started really getting into soup, it was so easy. Hers is Cuisinart, from Lakeland.

I think it kind of sweats basic ingredients, then whizzes them hotly.

Um, isn't soup just about the most effortless thing in the world anyway? Big pot, throw in veg, boil? Quick whizz with blender if you fancy. This sounds about as useful as an automatic egg boiler. Hmm

Screaminabdabs · 04/01/2013 00:32

Dunno, I'm sitting on the fence here. Grin But wondering. My mate who raves about hers is no slouch.

Have you seen the price of the Cuisinart thing?!!! Biig pot and a cheap hand-blender does it for me too ...

Fredstheteds · 13/01/2013 20:40

Got my cusinart , £80 with postage. I have used it twice and love it! Soup in 20 mins....sweet potato , apple and ginger....fab!

Screaminabdabs · 13/01/2013 22:25

£80's good value - where from, please?

I'm thinking of sending dc to uni with one; plugs in like a kettle, doesn't it?

NotSoNervous · 13/01/2013 22:31

Shock £80 for a soup maker? Does it go out buy the ingredients, cook it and serve as well for that? I'd rather use a pot

DearPrudence · 13/01/2013 22:38

A hand blender is less than £10. Soup is one of the easiest and quickest things you can cook. ^Eighty pounds??!^ Shock

MarianForrester · 13/01/2013 22:43

Definitely not: soup is so easy in a pan!

Hand blender is the answer for liquidising it. Lakeland has an effective one which is a bargain.
