ReplykaveyeatsDecember 13th, 2015Daniel, if you read the review, you’ll see we don’t recommend this appliance. For her second trial, she made prawns in tomato sauce, a pasta sauce recipe also from the recipe booklet. When Cuisinart offered me one to review, I asked my mum, Mamta, to put it through its paces, as she regularly makes soups at home.
If any part is damaged or blender jar is chipped or cracked, DO NOT USE BLENDER. The timer can only be set for up to 30 minutes at a time. When time runs out, the machine automatically shuts off. Sometimes soups need to cook longer than 30 minutes, so you need to be paying attention and remember to add the additional time, or you’ll discover that your soup has stopped cooking.
The blender will tackle anything you throw its way, including ice for cocktails, roasted vegetables for a soup or frozen fruit for a delicious smoothie. First, mum read through the instructions and recipe booklet. The instructions are “fairly well written” but do not make it clear that the jug has to be lifted, not unscrewed, off the base. She points out that as many jug blenders require a twist and lift action to remove the jug, it might be worth making this clearer so there are no unfortunate accidents with hot liquid. One of the biggest benefits of soup is its high comfort factor. Nothing, that is, except a bowl of warm homemade soup.
Cuisinart’s soup makers are like regular blenders – with a heating function! This means they can do everything a well-built regular blender can, whether it’s whipping up smoothies or crushing ice – plus more. From vegetable soups to spicy sauces, hot dishes are cooked and blended to perfection with Cuisinart cook-and-blend soup makers’ razor-sharp blades and built-in heating element.
This newest model of soup maker may indeed only heat to boiling! I’ve now amended the chart above to reflect this. Maybe over time we will have access to better specs showing more accurate temperatures. And/or, maybe someone who has used this machine will comment. It has three heat settings, ranging from a low simmer to a high boil. Throw in some chopped vegetables, turn on the heat setting and get cooking.
The fascinating appliance combines a blender with a small heating plate which can saute vegetables and cook soup in 30 minutes. The “stir” function will work better if your vegetable pieces cuisinart pots and pans set are smaller. It is a bit difficult to “stir” one pound of uncooked, dry carrots with one blade. You might even need to use a silicone spatula a time or two before your liquids are added.
