What it’s ideal for
If you cook at home, you’ll know that batch cooking is a time saver. Processing large amounts of flavour boosters like sauces, soups and marinades are an easy way to quickly add a ton of deliciousness to food in minutes. Plus, if you want to stick to a healthy lifestyle, keeping track of the ingredients that go into your meals is key.
This blender doesn’t take up a lot of counter space (plus, it’s sleek and pretty), so you can leave it out for morning grab-and-go fruit and protein smoothies, or quick blended oat and banana pancakes. For special occasions, it makes a mean frozen cocktail and, for nibbles with friends, you can whip up dips like hummus and pesto in seconds, too.
What we love
The cylindrical design of the blending vessel is slimmer than a traditional blender and easily twists into the powerful base which quickly blends ingredients in seconds (add 1/3 liquid, per instructions). With one button for pulsing or blending and blades that self-regulate speed, it increases when blitzing chunky ingredients. CSL loves the provided storage lids which means you can easily pop the container into the refrigerator. The blender also comes with an all-important two-year warranty.
Could be improved
Though the corrugated design is modern, getting every last drop of the contents can be difficult without using a rubber spatula and fingers. Base is heavy.
What To Make
Cocktails & Smoothies: Create individual frozen drinks for every taste. Frozen espresso martinis and margaritas can be whipped up for guests easily, or blitz a nutrient rich smoothie for hungry little ones instantly
Soups: Blending soup to an ultra-silky consistency mimics creaminess, so you don’t have to add a ton of extra dairy.
Sauces & Dips: Experiment with variations on hummus (beet, broad bean), try Middle Eastern muhmmara, or go Italian with a smooth basil rich tomato ragu or garlicy pesto.
