What kind of blender for purees?



Recommended Posts

I am going to start purees this week. I have a regular blender that is a pain to clean and a big food processor. What kind of hand blender do you have? I am assuming I will use it long term so I don't mind spending $30-50. Certain attachments or anything especially handy?

I love our Magic Bullet. If I made A roast for the family I would Blend up some meat add a cooked carrot & some juice. It was pretty good.

I have a refurbished vitamix. I've had for several years tho. I didn't buy because of the surgery.

I also have a Ninja, that I bought years ago. It is a workaholic! Great for smoothies, will grind down any ice or frozen fruit that you throw at it. I plan on using it to puree foods after surgery.

There's a new Ninja product I've got in my cart ready to buy...it's called the Ultra Prep. Here's a link --> Ninja Ultra Prep Here's what the advert mainly boasts about, The Ninja® Ultra Prep is the ultimate food and drink maker. Driven by three interchangeable blades and a 700-watt power pod, it can easily switch from blender to food processor to dough mixer, and deliver incredible results.

I bought the Nija Chopper. It was 19.99 at our local target!

Immersion blending stick. It's easy to use and easy to clean. It's also compact to store.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
