Just christened the new soupmaker I got for the ol' girl / boy.
Morphy richards clarity thing.
Idea was to reduce use of the stovetop for her / less cleaning / quicker and probably safer.
First up, potat and leek. Shit that thing is fast. 21 mins. Maybe 5 mins of prep, 2 mins cleaning. Don't really eat that stuff but was actually surprisingly very good. Gave maybe 3-4 serves.
If she doesn't use it it'll still save me a shitload of time and hassle.
Is it like an instant pot kinda thingo or more of a Thermomix? (gboard suggested "consultant" immediately after "Thermomix", urgh...)
I sincerely hope the Olds use it but if not at least it sounds like it'll come in handy for you. But yeah as Witch wisely advised you last week or so, hope it doesn't turn into you stepping in for everything.
The olds in my life are rapidly embracing this sort of technology and, I might add, placing a premium on anything that isn't too heavy to lift. I gotta look into some of them
it's basically just a kettle w/ a stick blender heh. Not quite thermomix those things are like 10x the price. Weight-wise this thing isn't too bad. It is simple though.
Witches' advice has been weighing on me heavily (and for that I can't thank her kindly enough for sharing her experience).
I still have more thinking to do :(
I hope everythings started to settle down man โค๏ธ
