Kitchen Aid Blender: A Review

The Kitchen Aid Blender is one cool kitchen tool. Yeah, yeah, I want to call it a tool. Sue me! I’m no Betty Crocker in the kitchen but with the right equipment, I can be.

Guys, you know what I’m talking about. You follow me? Whether you’re drilling or sawing something, you like having the right tools that gets the job done right.

I bought my blender a couple of years ago and I’m still happy with the purchase. It comes in 12 hot colours like Blue Willow, Empire red, Cinnamon Gloss, Tangerine and Buttercup etc. Mine is Cinnamon Gloss which puts a splash of colour in my kitchen and on my counter top.

It has a 56 oz. pitcher which holds 7 cups. That's for some of us that are clueless about ounces. Five (5) speeds gets you from zero to 60 in under 5 secs, just kidding. It was too tempting not to. Five speeds gets you from stir to liquefy in a matter of seconds.

My favourite speed selection though is the crush ice mode. One moment ice cubes and the next out comes snow. All right, shaved ice then, which is the correct terminology if you prefer. I love that because I can eat my water instead of drinking it, lol. You can make yourself a snow cone (what we call it in Jamaica). It’s simply shaved ice with syrup over it is.

Now, I didn’t know that it was ok, to use it for pancake batter. All this time, I thought that I was being a bad girl by putting flour and the rest of the ingredients in there. So here I was whipping up apple/blueberry pancake batter in it because it was so easy. Go figure!! Yours truly only reads the book when there’s a problem.

According to the instructions booklet you can make pizza, cornbread, just kidding again. You can do milkshakes, margaritas, smoothies and all types of soups and sauces and your baby food, if you have a baby.

I only wish that I’d had one when my son broke his jaw and had his mouth wired shut for two weeks. The only thing that he could get in there was a straw and through that he had his nourishment for two long weeks. Boy, did he lose lots of weight by then. Lucky enough I had another blender which shall remain nameless. I had to chop and puree everything but it didn’t do as good a job as this one. Pureeing meat is just yucky and in a blender that doesn’t do a good job, you taste those little bits in your mouth. He was a trooper though, right through the whole thing.

I don’t know if you’ll see me doing any more reviews because I have to really like the product. So, I do like it and you will too when you purchase your own.

Know that Kitchen Aid has 13 models to choose from, so, there’s sure to be one just for you.
