Guest guest Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 In the next few months I hope to be adding or replacing some of the " small " machines that would help me in food preparation. I need some advice/recommendations. What would you recommend for the following? dehydrator, blender (not Vita Mix, thank you -- can not afford it)soymilk maker, yogurt maker. I prefer things made with glass and metal rather than plastic. In short, I would like appliances that are well made and long lasting, sturdy and easy to use -- and oh,yes, not to expensive! Is this do-able? Any help and advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Fon Vestal fonv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 As far as the " not too expensive " goes....if you drink a reasonable amount of soymilk I highly recommend making your own! I have a SoyToy that I've had for probably about 4 years now. It makes great soymilk, but there is absolutely no support. I originally bought it because there was a very active list that was so incredibly helpful, but that bit the dust long ago. I would be interested to see what others recommend for a soymilk machine, and what kind of support is out there.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 For my money I would buy a good immersion blender or large capacity food proccesor (or both) for soups, salsas, hummus etc...... A good food proccesor can even be used to make pastry & bread doughs.Those are the two appliances I use the most.-ErinSent from my iPhoneOn Oct 31, 2009, at 3:22 PM, Momcat <Momcat55 wrote: As far as the "not too expensive" goes....if you drink a reasonable amount of soymilk I highly recommend making your own!

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I love my food processor, I have an old (25 yrs?) Cuisinart. I also have an old (only 10 years) Cuisinart blender that served me well. You can make yogurt the " old fashioned " way, with canning jars for cups and culturing in an oven with the pilot light on or in an electric blanket on low.
