– The Cuisinart Soup Maker is a taller blender-like appliance with a higher center of gravity. This is in stark contrast to the robust design of the Thermomix with its triangulated ‘cradle’ making for superb ergonomics with repeated use. This may seem like a small point to consider, but really the details add up. Overall ease of use is a HUGE factor in why I reach for Thermomix several times each day, more often than any other tool, gadget or appliance in the kitchen.
Like so many/most dedicated TM 31 users I revel in mine and use it several times a day, every day. He gets ‘left overs/rinsings’ blitzed into doggy gravy cuisinart pots and pans set over his rather boring but healthy dried food. I’ll be sure to pass it on as I often have people ask me what the differences are with the older models!!
I used to own the TM21, and loved it, but I love the TM31 so much more, and use it HEAPS more! And I love the reverse function, and the wider, easier to clean bowl… and it just seems to be more powerful too. I just got a thermomix 3300 from my parents in law but have no manual and I have no idea what to do with it. My mom has got the latest model of thermomix and is loving it but she can’t help me with mine as it looks very different to her model.
You can then proceed to blend your recipe or serve your recipe. The Scotch broth was thoroughly cooked, including the pearl barley, after about half an hour. After a quick blitz on level 2 – levels 3 and 4 are deactivated if the contents are over 60 degrees C – the soup was consistently creamy but still retained some texture and bite. The base of the glass jug had some overcooked food stuck to it, but this was easily cleaned off with a brush. Carefully remove lower corrugated insert containing the blender jar assembly.
While its basic design has evolved from that of a standard blender, the Cuisinart SSB1U Soup Maker promises to tackle much more than just blitzing food and ice. A booklet of recipes is also included for inspiration. The Cusinart Soup Maker and Blender looks to streamline the entire soup process. In addition to its stainless steel blades and four speeds, the 900-watt appliance features an embedded three-setting hot plate that lets you cook ingredients.
The name may be uncomplicated and accurately reflect the simple nature of soup, but this blender-meets-heater is all business. Brian is the author of two culinary based books published via his imprint Storkburger Press. A lifelong Californian, he has been consistently exposed to some of the best food in the world. With a deep appreciation for cuisinart griddler elite the kitchen, he is always on the lookout for that perfect appliance that combines style and grace with the ever-popular ability to save time. Nothing quite beats a soul-warming, homemade soup. And with the weather looking every so slightly rainy these next few weeks, there’s no doubt we’ll be turning to home cooked soups a little more often.
The first thing I made was a simple lentil soup. We were let down by the appliances’ ability to retain a good, hot temperature after the dish had been plated up. Although the glass goblet isn’t dishwasher safe, it is easy to clean by hand. The cuisinart pots and pans set Plus did a good job at performing well in most tests; serving up smooth and delicious milkshakes as well as divine soups. The process of cooking the dishes is easy and there is no struggle to hold down any buttons – which is always great! Being a totally addicted thermomix user I came across a cuisiart soup maker ad today.
