The attachments are great, I use the mini-food processor quite often. Also, the stainless steel handle means I can blend hot soups right on the stove! It's great for quick jobs, making salsa is a snap. Just toss everything in it, pulse it a few times and voila! Also, when I'm in need of chopping quite a bit of garlic, I just peel and in seconds they're ready for marinades. Making tomato soup with the wand is so convenient. Just cook down some mirepoix with butter, add your canned tomatos, stew for a bit and send the wand to work...right in the pot while it's still on the stove. If you want a thicker soup then boil some potatoes in with the mirepoix and tomatos then blend it all together. Yum! Add the whisk attachment and you can make a big bowl of whipped cream in a snap and only have to wash two items. I use this wand with it's attachments at least 3 times a week. It saves a lot of time and space.</p>... Mon, 19 Nov 2007 21:24:21 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Cuisinart-Blender-Smartstick-Hand-Single-Speed-Blender-review-8f4d1 wendyhuang 5
