Ah! I think I thought of that but wasn’t calling it that
I am reminded of baking a carrot cake with my MIL over Thanksgiving. In the process she reminded me that 30 years ago, thee first time she made turkey, how I must have acted when I learned the turkey was still frozen!
This time she was making a boxed ( ) carrot cake, but with her own grated carrots, and with six boxes of mix. She was mixing the mix and wanted me to crack eggs before preparing the pan and turning on the oven! But the box says “immediately”!
She was using a grating blade, which I never use (I use a box grater), but she wanted smaller pieces. She had never used the chopping feature.
Together we figured out how to chop a dozen or more carrots to the right size using the chopping blade and the pulse button, and combine God knows how many boxes of mix with I don’t know how many whisked eggs at a time in her old Kitchen aid,
Yikes! Tortillas are cheap and easy and NOT a fill-up first course. In Italy they use bread to mop the sauce, the scarpetta. I do not know if there is a similar Spanish word used in tortilla loving Mexico and Central America, but I always save a tortilla to mop the plate. As for gourmet tortillas, IME flour tortillas range from meh to mmm, but corn tortillas can be ethereal. Again, just my take.
From what I have read, it would be pretty amazing, but for smooth and creamy soups and bisques and the like, I plan to stick with the middle way. Leave the soup in the pot, leave the chinois and pestle on the shelf, and pull out the immersion blender, salivating for hot mushroom soup!
I like cooking gadgets, but not for that much money and counter space! I might look for the thread though; Its hard to imagine a home cook finding that a reasonable purchase.
I get it. A harder sell in USA, where kitchens already have their narrow-use appliances.
A similar thing holds back Ankarsrum mixers, which Serious Eats found was best for bread dough. My SIL is in a charity bread club, and she raves about it.
It’s quite popular in Europe in home and restaurant kitchen as it combines many tools but also adds unique capabilities, e.g. some people use it to mill their own flour etc.
