As this machine involves more than simply pressing a button, we began with two of the provided recipes. First a curry paste, with the machine having no trouble grinding up ingredients for a smooth result using ‘level cuisinart griddler elite 3 blend’ (there are 1–4 speeds available). To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not put motor base of blender in water or other liquids. Place the motor base of your blender on a flat, sturdy surface.
Many soup makers blenders are not that strong but with Cuisinart it feels like they had a blender first and added soup to it, making it a strong blender. Usually, combination appliances miss the culinary mark. Those toasters that also cook eggs? Silicone bowls in which you can prepare food and then throw it in the oven to roast said food?
You can strip the process back to basics if you like but we feel the usefulness of this product has the potential to grow and grow as you become more familiar with it. Carefully remove lower corrugated insert containing the blender jar assembly. Be careful not to tip the jar when moving. When blending hot liquids ensure vents in lid opening are clear and intended pour spouts are closed (lid is secured). Select the required time per the recipe.
Above the display sits a dial for controlling blending, which gives four speed options and a pulse, as well as a separate button at the side to operate the machine’s stirring function. This is a slower rotation of the blades that’s used to mix food. The great thing about Cuisinart’s electric soup makers is that they also double as regular blenders, allowing you to create cold smoothies, shakes, baby food, salad dressings, and more.
This can be adjusted throughout the cooking process, but a time must be selected to start the heater initially. Blending Control Choose desired speed 1 to 4 or pulse to blend ingredients to the desired consistency. Use speeds 1 through 3 for blending hot ingredients. My favourite ever recipe with the soup maker has to be my homemade tomato sauce. I used to go through a lot of pans and a lot of washing up to make it before.
You may add more ingredients by lifting the measuring cup from the lid and dropping ingredients through the lid opening. When making soup, fill the contents of the glass jar only to the 48-oz. Always replace the measuring cup after adding ingredients. See Recipe Tips and Hints for cooking soups (recipe book, page 2).

I notice that there is a LOT of baby food makers on the market that cost more than a soup maker and don’t produce as much food for your baby. We were with child again and this time we were looking for just a quick cheap one for mainly blending baby food with. This machine doesn’t offer manual presets. You need to select the cooking mode and temperature, as well as choosing when to stir. However, this makes it much closer to cooking on the hob and therefore adapting recipes becomes straightforward.
