Are you a lapsed soup aficionado? Admit it – you’d probably make a lot more soup than you do, but some recipes do seem rather labour intensive – not the ideal scenario when you’ve just got in from a hard day at work. Well help is at with the arrival of the Cuisinart SSB1U soup maker.
Unlike a traditional blender, the SSB1U has a rapid heating element and non-stick cooking plate that browns vegetables, boils liquids and simmers soups. Add to this the stainless steel blades and powerful motor, and you have a worktop appliance that’s capable of blending the hot soup or sauce to your preferred consistency, straight after cooking.
You can add ingredients as you go – starting off by softening onions on the heating plate for example – before blending, and it’s possible to make certain recipes in less than 20 minutes. When not being used to produce delicious mouth-watering soups, the SSB1U can also crush ice for a cool cocktail or make nutritious smoothies.
