. I love it because all the parts of the blender that immerse in liquids are stainless steel, so easy to clean and NOT plastic...I am trying to remove as much plastics from my life as possible...the handle is plastic but not any of the part that goes into the food that you want to blend. The other thing I like is that the handle (which houses all the electrical parts) detaches from the immersion part so no electrical parts need be near the water during cleanup. Mine came with some attachments like a whisk (I'm not a big fan of it) and a chopper attachment. The chopper attachment is not a bad product...works well for small chopping jobs and cleans up very easily. I have a regular blender that can even crush ice but for most jobs, I prefer this. Think about it...you have made a soup..you need to blend it to make it smooth...do you want to a) lift a heavy pot full of hot liquid and pour part at a time into a regular blender...blend it and make sure it isn't so full that it squirts out and scalds you, then pout it out into another pot then repeat...OR b) take a blender to the pot and blend it smooth in the pot on the stove???? It's a no-brainer for me...how about you? This one pictured below is the one I have and I highly recommend it! (this one is even the same colour as mine)

Kitchen Aid Immersion Blender
Ok so it has taken me a bit to blog about this...and I have to tell you this is probably THE most used kitchen gadget I have. It's the KitchenAid KHB300 Hand Blender. I love it because all the parts of the blender that immerse in liquids are stainless steel, so easy to clean and NOT plastic...I am trying to remove as much plastics from my life as possible...the handle is plastic but not any of the part that goes into the food that you want to blend.

my new gadgets
Well here's a pic of my 3 new kitchen gadgets..my stove 1st and formost...then for Christmas I got the Kitchen Aide dutch oven and the citrus butt chicken gadget ...I guess my mum really enjoyed the chicken :)...the dutch oven will be perfect for stews and soups and small briskets. I will let you know how they work. Once I finish painting the kitchen I will do a lil vid of my kitchen layout. BTW I used one of those Flip Video Cameras...OMG people they are amazing. (hmmm another gadget) Rosie O'Donnell swears by them and ya know...she is right...for close up stuff they are perfect...about the size of an i phone and plug directly into your computer's USB port to upload...worth every penny!!!

Mega Kitchen Gadget
Besides loving food and cooking, I am a major kitchen gadget freak. Well, in actual fact, I love any gadgets but kitchen ones are probably my favs.
Today, after much tribulation, my mega gadget arrived....my new dual fuel GE Profile with convection oven!!! I am so stoked. I even got the gas guy in to hook it up this afternoon...
So tomorrow will be my 1st time cooking with it. I think I am going to make oven baked chicken wings, roasted potatoes with a roasted garlic vinegarette and a cauliflower gratin. I will let y'all know how it turns out
