My new gadget is a new blender, and I got a high speed one for the first time. The speed is quite incredible compared to what I was used to with my old slow one. I used to try to make a smoothie for example, and if I added something like kale, there would still be chunks of leaves after ages. The new one absolutely obliterates everything, and I’ve made a couple of really delicious vegan chocolate desserts, and beautiful bright green speck-free smoothies!<br />BeckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807485144447057545.post-50379987569079593922014-11-18T06:06:12.529+11:002014-11-18T06:06:12.529+11:00Hi Sandy!

The electric pressure cooker would be really handy but I prefer my stovetop one only because we lose power to frequently; especially in the winter when my pressure cooker gets most of it's exercise!

I have two stove top pressure cookers - one which I bought and one which a friend gave me for much the same reason as you've let yours go! :) The pressure cookers make short work of beans and legumes, but I'm yet to figure out how to cook them without them going mushy. Any tips? :)celiahttp://www.figjamandlimecordial.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807485144447057545.post-26076468185258466532014-11-04T20:31:20.178+11:002014-11-04T20:31:20.178+11:00I have never used a pressure cooker before!
