Here, the Cuisinart’s all-metal Large Meat Grinder Attachment ($128.95) has an advantage over KitchenAid’s plastic-and-metal Food Grinder Attachment ($49.95) But for the price of the Cuisinart attachment, you could buy a full-on dedicated meat grinder The KitchenAid grinder has served me fine for years While either brand will you well, the KitchenAid Pro 500 ($299.95) gets my vote for wedding-registry priority numero uno It’s ideal for both heavy-duty bakers who make bread at least a couple times a week and want a real powerhouse and for those who will be mostly mixing batters, whipping cream, or even grinding meat Powerful Blender There are a ton of decent blenders on the market—far more than good stand mixers or food processors Then again, there are also a ton of poor blenders out there You want a blender that’s powerful enough to puree soup to a completely smooth, velvety texture, with enough vortex action to thoroughly mix a thick blue cheese dressing or crush a pitcherful of ice for frozen drinks You also want a blender with simple, easy-to-understand controls; the ability to pulse; and the capacity to slowly and evenly build up from a slow speed to a fast one, in order to prevent the lid from blowing off when you blend hot foods too fast (Raise your hand if you’ve done this Yep, thought so.) The cream of the crop when it comes to blenders, the one that’ll turn your shoes into soup or scare the pants off the fat kid in The Goonies, the one that’ll turn all your cheffy foodie friends spinach-green with envy, is one from the Vitamix Pro Series This is what every professional kitchen I’ve ever worked in has used, and with good reason It’s crazy powerful, has a very large capacity, and is built like a rock They clock in at around $450 and up, placing them firmly out of the reach of most home cooks Nearly as good and way cooler looking is the BlendTec, which, for around $400, will turn everything from a carrot to a full-sized Alpine ski into dust (Don’t believe me? Just Google it Seriously, it’s a great video.) For a blender that won’t break the bank, I’d go with the KitchenAid Vortex 5-Speed Blender (around $150) It has an easy to clean wide polycarbonate pitcher and a blade that creates a big enough vortex that I can blend a full batch of cheese sauce for Cheesy Broccoli Casserole (here) in one go without it gumming up Rice Cooker There’s no easier, more foolproof way to cook rice and other grains than in a rice cooker Sure, you can cook rice in a pot, carefully monitoring the flame, hoping that you’ve added the right amount of water and that your rice isn’t burning on the bottom, and taking it off the heat at just the right moment, but if you’re anything like me, you’ve burnt one too many batches to fuss with that method any more With a rice cooker, you just add your rice and water, shut the lid, flip the switch, and go, with the added advantage that it’ll keep the cooked rice (or other grain) hot for hours Even the cheapest rice cooker will do—I had a $25 model I picked up in Chinatown that lasted me all through college and a good five years afterward When I got married, I ... just add your rice and water, shut the lid, flip the switch, and go, with the added advantage that it’ll keep the cooked rice (or other grain) hot for hours Even the cheapest rice cooker will do—I had a $25 model... pot, carefully monitoring the flame, hoping that you’ve added the right amount of water and that your rice isn’t burning on the bottom, and taking it off the heat at just the right moment, but if you’re anything like me, you’ve burnt... crazy powerful, has a very large capacity, and is built like a rock They clock in at around $450 and up, placing them firmly out of the reach of most home cooks Nearly as good and way cooler looking is the BlendTec, which, for around
