Most American households have blenders buried somewhere in them. The question is, when is a blender worth becoming a kitchen investment piece? Last night on Good Eats, Alton Brown and W looked at stick (hand-held) blenders.
Here's another contender that looks like something a sci-fi fan would like.
The ultra-sleek, 20-piece stainless steel Magic Bullet Platinum Pro is slightly larger than the original and boasts a motor 40 percent more powerful. Its manufacturer says it can be uses for everything from protein shakes, to salsa, homemade guacamole, pasta sauces, decadent desserts like chocolate mousse, in addition to serving as the ultimate kitchen prep device – as it blends, chops, slices, dices, mixes, whips and purees in seconds.
A complete recipe book (right) is included in the set.The Platinum Pro luxury edition is a countertop model. Its makers hope it will replace your food processor and blender. All parts are microwave and dishwasher safe (OK, that part's impressive).
Watch a clip from WXXX-TV in Salt Lake City, which recently tested the product in the “Does it Work” segment.
The newly-launched Magic Bullet Platinum Pro Blender is available for $99.99 online and at Macy’s stores nationwide.
