For quite some time I have the wish for a Vitamix. Well, the Vitamix Pro 750 is in my kitchen now. My first kitchen tool with HP description… 2.2 HP! Indeed, that is noisy! But also very powerful. You can create yummy sorbets in no time, tasty purées and much, much more. I can not wait for a green smoothie!
It comes with a cookbook that offers a lot of recipes and motivate to own creations.
My Stand Mixer
The decision to buy a stand mixer was one of the best ever. It really makes a difference to a hand mixer. I was extremely surprised! As I enjoy baking I use my KitchenAid mainly for this purpose. Even mixtures I was not sure about how they should work for cake or cookies… they succeeded. Doughs and batters become very light.
At first I decided to have such a kitchen tool because it is just timesaving. The machine is running while you can prepare something else. Very convincing for me!
I guess other machines work the same way as the KitchenAid. I just like the design from KitchenAid products.
My Small Steamer Basket
I did not own a steamer basket for a long time because all products I knew were way too large for my kitchen with only little space left. One day I spotted this small steamer basket. Fantastic! This basket does not take much space in my kitchen cupboard. Since then I regularly steam vegetables. Especially if I am short of time as it is a very quick method. Additionaly nutrients are retained.
I decided to buy the smaller basket (14 cm in diameter). It works in all pots I have.
Measuring Cups and Spoons
As you can see in the recipes I mainly use measuring cups and spoons. It was unfamiliar in the beginning. Meanwhile I do not miss the scale anymore.
I ordered at amazon.de. But you can find those in department stores, too. There are most diverse shapes available. I prefer the oval shape because it makes it easier to scoop from most different jars, canisters etc.
My Food Dehydrator
Actually this machine is a bit voluminous in my small kitchen. Nonetheless I do not want to miss this dehydrator anymore. It creates great jerky or veggie chips.
I am pleased with my choice because this machine dehydrates evenly over all shelves, it is easy to clean and it works nearly noiseless.
