Cooking: August 2009 Archives

I am sure many of you have seen the "as seen on TV" product, the Magic Bullet. I know I have seen the infomercials for it many times on the weekends searching for something to watch. I found mine at the local Wal-Mart store. It costs the same as on TV, and came with everything they advertised it would on the infomercial. So does it really work the way they say it does? I would say that is the magic question. Here are some pros and con's I have found using it at home.


Pros;

• It does grind very well. Sometimes you have to stop and shake it to move things around, but it does a good job. Coffee   beans do really well for fresh ground coffee.

• Anything you want pureed’, it will do it. Things like salsa, or making a great cocktail works really good.

• Using a heavy whipping cream to make mousse or puddings does really well. It takes no time at all to whip up some fresh   cool whip to top off any dessert.
 
• It also does really good making sauces. Especially when making nachos or an alfredo sauce, as the plastic container’s  can go in the microwave and dishwasher.
