I used it to make margaritas this week and it worked great. It is difficult to unscrew the jar from the base. Also it leaks if you don’t get aggressive when you tighten the jar back to the base. We put the Plus to the test to see if the performance lived up to the price! This soup maker performs best when used for soups, milkshakes, and batter. Throughout all our tests, we found the glass goblet was an amazing feature of the soup maker because it meant you could keep an eye on how your dish was cooking.
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 cuisinart pots and pans set paying attention and remember to add the additional time, or you’ll discover that your soup has stopped cooking.

I still enjoy a good pot of bubbling soup simmering on the stove.
