This can be adjusted throughout the cooking process, but a time must be selected to start the heater initially. After my initial cuisinart soup maker enthusiastic experiments I have used it about twice. It does make good soup but no better than I can make in other ways.

Increase the heat to medium, add the carrots and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the curry powder, salt and pepper and cook, using the stir function occasionally, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the stock and bring the soup to a boil.

Overall, it’s a premium device with some useful functions, though admittedly comes at a greater cost.
While so far I have primarily used mine to make soups, you can make a lot of other types of foods with this handy device. With many other devices, you choose your function and it cooks and blends within a certain time frame. Here, you can personalise temperature and time, to perfect whatever recipe you’ve chosen to make. My potato and leek soup came out a tad watery, thought not at all unpleasant.
