Cooked soup today for lunch. Poured it into blender and it went right to the top. Switched on and got boiling soup over clothes, kitchen and worst of all my left hand. What I really wanted to ask is do we ever learn. Thinking back I could have predicted what was going to happen. As I am now over sixty surely common sense should be kicking in by now??????
get yourself a hand held whizzer and then you can liquidise it in the pan, much safer and far, far easier, and they're pretty cheap too.
we've just finished off the last of the turkey soup i made, i could live on it, i absolutely love it. it had all the leftover veg in too, and the last bit of gravy, all whizzed up. yum :)
I think the answer is the over sixty bit, my head has turned to cotton wool.I have just been shopping with my pull along trolley,put some shopping in the ordinary trolley and forgot where I'd left mine. I flew past the manager shouting I've lost my trolley. His look said it all.
no it doesn't ladybirder, you just have to make sure you keep the whizzer submerged. if it's only under the soup by about an inch, at the top, then it will splat about a bit but i just keep it held down at the bottom of the pan and stir it around.
grasscarp keep on with the cold stuff - best thing for a burn - bally painful hey? Glass of wine is permitted if that is your poison, if not a nice cup of whatever (in times of stress, mine is rooibos tea with honey, lemon and ginger)
I am 40 and I do things without thinking all the time. A couple of years ago I put a plastic jug on top of a hotplate which I'd only switched off around 5 minutes before. Trouble with hotplates is that they take ages to cool down. Both hotplate and jug were mullered!
