| I posted on the other thread that I just bought one. What do you use yours for? I know I have recipes that require one (and I will find them) but in the meantime I thought I'd ask for ideas. TIA. |

I love mine!! I use it when I make gazpacho, broccoli-cheese soup, and sweet potato soup. I've also used it to crush up tomatoes for pasta sauces, once the tomatoes have gotten mushy. They are also great for making gravy.

Basically, what PP said. Also here are a few more ideas:

| Soup. We eat a lot of soup. I adore it. I used to have to puree everything in a blender, in batches. The stick does it in seconds and there is much less cleanup. |

| All of the above, plus whipped cream, and big batches of omelettes. |

| Soup in the pot. Honestly can't imagine any other use for it. |

| I don't make a lot of pureed food, so I use mine very rarely, and I sort of find it a pain to clean! |

| Soups! Ours is dishwasher-friendly. |

Why? I run it briefly in water and put the blade assembly through the dishwasher. Never a problem. |

| Soup, salad dressing, simple sauces that I used to use a food processor for. Are they dishwasher safe (the blender part, not the motor, obviously) |
